Sessions is a brand with serious roots in snowboarding starting the first snowboard shop in the US way back in 1983. Built on the principles of snowboarding, skateboarding & music Sessions has always stayed true to its roots & made tech outerwear with slick looks. The Podium is an excellent insulated jacket with body mapped taffeta & mesh liner. What this means is you get extra lining around your bodys core to keep your main body warm before insulation is even taken into consideration. This is a loft loft insulation meaning no bulk even though this is a high rated insulation of 100gm body & 80gm hood & sleeves. This means this jacket is warm! Do you feel the cold? This one is for you! With all of their history in music too Sessions still give a nod to their past making their audio or media pockets accesible without opening your jacket. On the Podium this is integrated behind the front storm flap so it is hidden but still accesible without opening your jacket. With all the features you need still feature too such as stretch powder skirt, sleeve pass pocket, mesh backed pit vents, sleeve pass pocket. The Podium is a great looking jacket with loads of warmth, tons of style & loads of tech to back it up!
