Reima jackets

[tomk]

Are reima jackets any good? found some good deals on them online wondering if they are nice jackets?

 

[fatdaddy]

they are great jackets, however they haven't made them for I'm guessing 8 years, rumor has it that Scott purchased them. First gore tex jacket I ever owned, good quality

really good sled gear, have been wearing mine about 6 season's now.... and scott did buy them up..

very good stuff, I bought a jacket in 03 and wow,, it has been a awesome jacket, very warm, tons of pockets, vents, very adjustable, still have it

Ditto that. I love the layers and when I'm not sledding I usually am wearing the inside fleece. Yes there are plenty of pockets, sometimes I forget where my camera is.

I still use mine I don't know how old it is but its been around for some time now. Care to tell us where to find them.

so I got my jacket today, was not what I was expecting, it is just a shell, no liner or anything, is that normal, I guess I have never bought a jacket that is just a shell, i dont get it

What Jacket did you get? most had liners the one you mentioned for $89 at DK said it came with a zip in liner The slingshot jackets run small. I have a Reima Warrior jacket 1998 size Med which I still wear I bought a sling shot last year and needed an XL so it fit in the elbows even without the pads. Scott purchased the Reima US line several years back and changed the name and design of the line. I think the quality is still very good but the fit seems to be way off.
Some people may see it differently but Reima was 8 years ago what Klim is today not to say they didn't have some problems but the styling was classic and would not become dated in 2 years that you needed to replace it.

I have a reima gortex pullover thats just a shell. You just wear more layers on the cold days.I wear mine on warm days. Cat has coats like that but you can zip in a liner.

Many of the Polaris Jackets are Reima. Both of mine are.... Good stuff.

i got the seirra jacket, you cant even put a liner in it!, I think I might return it and get the hillcross

I bought a reima warrior coat and bibbs from a local dealer for $350.00. First coat that I owned that is gortex worked great last year never got cold.

 

[tomk]

did it have a liner?I heard that all gortex stuff doesnt have liners is that true?

 

[lenny]

I have a Reima pullover which is for not so cold conditions, you probably just ordered the wrong coat for your application. No liner means it's gonna be colder in practical thinking
