You know what the worst thing about snowboarding is? No, not losing your keys in powder and realizing that you're gonna have to commit larceny and break into your own car to get to your spare key.
Personally, I think it's when people call you while you're riding. First of all, it's your fault. Maybe you should have not gotten all saucy at the bar the the night before and starting buying drinks for everyone while ranting about how "it's gonna be sweet tomorrow, give me a call and we'll do some runs together...". So on you're on the snow, you hear it ring and you have to then hit the breaks. You start to scrabble around like you got ants in your pants doing the "what pocket is my phone in" dance, checking all your pockets except for the one it's actually in. By the time you find it, you've missed the call and been left behind by everyone you're riding with. You jet down the hill to catch up with the others and repeat on the next run, when the next chump you were slamming Jager shots at 3 am with calls.
I present you the solution to this conundrum: the Oxbow Reggae Jacket, equipped with Bluetooth connectivity so you can keep tearing turns while accepting calls to a set up a meeting point with your homie at the bottom of the chairlift, all with the simple press of a button on your sleeve.
It seems like a small detail but this will help your friends find you on the hill. Another feature that will help you get found is not only the bright lime green colorway but also the integrated RECCO avalanche rescue system if you unexpectedly get gobbled by the white dragon in an avalanche.
The list of features on this jacket goes on and on, with a removable hood, removable stretch gaiter, wallet pocket, mobile phone pocket, goggle wipe and key loop, goggle mesh pocket, ventilation zip, waterproof zippers, link system jacket-pants, lycra snow cuffs... Oh, and it's a Gore-Tex garment.
So save yourself the hassle, get an Oxbow Reggae Jacket and cut down your riding dates to just one or two.
