I have three other MH jackets as well as other accessories that I love so when it became time to look for a new ski jacket I decided to stick with what I have had good luck with.

I purchased the Rouge for mostly resort skiing, maybe some light back country runs but I have other articles I wear for that.

Pros:
- light weight
- Super wind resistant ( so far the one day I have used it it was blowing 35 gust to 45.
- Was good in the glades and dumped heat when needed with ease.
- what snow was blowing up the trails and off of trees did not penetrate the shell. I haven’t had a good snow ski in it yet.

Cons
- I typically wear a large with MH coats so that is what I bought this coat in and it seems a little bit small. Still fits, it is just snug.
- the liner coat is a bit difficult to zip up if the powder skirt is not snapped.

The cons are pretty minor in my opinion and would not deter me from buying this coat or any other MH coat again. The pros are pretty “standard” of my previous experiences with MH coats so I am over all very pleased with it. I hope to update this review after I get some more turns in.

Bought this as a gift for a friend who was getting into snowboarding and needed a jacket, so far he has had nothing but good things to say about it. Will definitely update if I hear anything new on the piece!
