Teaching your daughter how to ski ranks among one of your best parenting choices. Teaching her French seemed like a good idea at the time. After buying her the Orage Girls" Nala Jacket, and letting her surf the "net, she insists the only way she"ll ever be happy again is if you move to Canada, preferable a province that speaks French. Quel dommage, little one, but you"re staying stateside for the foreseeable future. Waterproof and breathable, the Nala jacket vents her excess hot air without letting cold air. Eco DWR treatment helps water bead on the jacket surface, so it doesn"t even soak in to the membrane (this helps keep that damp-but-not-wet feeling at bay). Your young lady"s torso stays warm due to 180-gram weight synthetic insulation. Lighter insulation in the arms, 150-gram, lets your girl swing her poles and lift her arms in victory when she nails the landing after hucking off monster cliffs. Your young lady is a snow-shredding monster. Underarm zips let her quickly dump heat as she"s hiking towards a launch, and the powder skirt keeps snow on the mountain and out of her jacket. The fleece-lined hood comes off when she"s going to school or skiing in sunshine. When the freeze outside rivals the freeze-out your daughter can give, fleece panels add bit of extra warmth. The front features stylish asymmetry.
