If you could design a ski jacket what do you think it would look like and how would it be built.
Example:look like a saga jacket fit like a saga jacket but have the durability of the salomon sideways 3l Jacket.
What would yours be?

Looks nice. Water proof. Zip off sleeves. None of that extremely skinny tall fit bullshit. Make it normal width but longer.

For a while, I had two jackets. One for everyday type of stuff, and another for skinning/hiking/moving in the backcountry.

I found that the more waterproof and useful of the two (BC jacket) was more than adequate for everything I do inbounds, so I sold the other.

Honestly, I like it a lot. Not many pockets, but it's full Goretex, perfect hood, and the pockets are designed to be opened while wearing a pack.
