Owners love the durable materials, excellent weather protection, and well-designed pockets, but sizing runs large and insulation is lighter than some competitors, while color options have become less

Buyers note the jacket's lighter insulation level, which video reviewers may have also flagged as a consideration for layering strategy.

In their words

I picked up the Swash late in the season and I'm thoroughly impressed. It fits great, has a tough face fabric, and just the right amount of insulation around the torso to take the sting out of chillier ski days. The fit is regular, with enough room to accommodate a medium-weight fleece or puffy layer underneath. Both snow and wind resistance are fantastic—nothing gets through.

The jacket itself is phenomenal however i Ordered a Large and recieved a medium. The jacket was also MISSING the snow gaiter as well as came with stains on the jacket as if it had been worn previously. This is unfortunate as ive ordered numerous items through BackCountry and have never had an issue. I have a trip in 5 days and the customer service lady was very nice and is next day airing me anoth
