“In my world at 6’9” it’s very difficult to find a parka that fits properly. Northwest Tech did a fine job crafting me a custom fit. Excellent work on all of the seams and liner. The two week turnaround was outstanding being middle of ski season.
Very Impressed

“I love my jacket! I am 5’3”, 140 lbs, and I got a medium. They run a bit smaller than your average unisex sizing I would say. The measurements are very accurate, but for the ladies- ignore the chest measurement and go with your instincts. The material is great and I love the pass pocket in the wrist area. Only regret is that I wish I had included pit zips! Very stoked on this jacket.”
“Looks: 11 out of 10
Warmth: 10 out of 10
Durability: 10/10
Functionality: 7/10
Locally made: Priceless
I get compliments all the time. A girl just yelled to me from a chairlift “Hey I like your jacket!”
Just a couple issues: the under arm vents are awkwardly placed, tough to reach. The main zipper is only one-way, so you have to hike your jacket up or totally unzip it in various off-slope situations. Lastly, the top of the zipper kind of gets jammed and can’t close it al the way, just due to the small cloth covering meant to cover the top of the zipper.
If you aren’t fussy like me and you tend to just put your jacket on and you don’t mess with it again until the end of the day, then these are non-issues.
Overall I am so happy to wear this coat.”
“I’m really happy I decided to go local. When looking for jackets I searched specifically for something I can design to describe who i am. It is incredible to be able to wear your personality.”
“I’ve now been able to use my new jacket in a variety of conditions. So far it has performed very well. It’s kept me dry on a day of rain/snow mix and has performed well on backcountry tours. Overall I’m very pleased with the quality, fit and performance. Thank you!!”
