Review:
I’m a bit biased as I’m a big fan of 32’s product from boots to outerwear, I like their stuff! The Blythe Jacket fits well within their product line and comes in 2 colors options; Tangerine and Camo (this review is based on the Tangerine Color). With a slightly narrower body and longer “slouch fit” (34″) which is meant to represent a throwback 90’s outerwear style. The ligthweight fleece lining runs along the back, chest and fully through the sleeves of the jacket. The hood is fully adjustable and easily fits over your helmet with the jacket fully zipped. Speaking of fully zipped, the 32 “Breath Channel” allows you to breathe easily and pushes air away from your face and goggles which works well to reduce unwanted goggle fogging or moisture build up on your face when the jacket is fully zipped or your hood is over your helmet for extra warmth on those frigid lift rides.
Pros
- Great Throwback look and fit
- longer length
- Provides excellent warmth in cold conditions
- Cleans easily
- Packs well
- Ample Pockets
Cons
- layers can bunch up in the arm area due to the linning, however this is easily fixed when the jacket is on and extending arms with layers held tight at the wrist.
