686 Plexus Bionic Jacket Review

686 Plexus Bionic Insulated Jacket - Men\'s
$250
A good low price high waterproof Jacket with decent insulation around the body.  It's not the warmest jacket out there but it's better than a shell. This has a good amount of pockets and is well designed for the average snowboarder.  The Plexus Bionic has a pretty interesting collar venting system that has a mesh like vent on the inside and a few little holes on the outside. This will be close to a 2 layer Gore-Tex Jacket but not quite as close.
