The minimalistic Mountain Hardwear Jovian shell is designed for fast alpine ascents and offers full waterproof, breathable protection.

  • Dry.Q Elite fabric's air-permeable membrane allows air—not just moisture—to pass outward through the fabric, so you stay dry on the inside as well as the outside
  • The always-on airflow doesn't wait for you to heat up before beginning to breathe; breathability and comfort start the minute you put on the jacket
  • Dry.Q fabric prevents clamminess and helps keep you cool and dry
  • Helmet-compatible hood features a single-pull adjustment system and extra beefy brim; Micro-Chamois™-lined chin guard eliminates zipper chafe
  • Mountain Hardwear Jovian jacket has superlight, extra-long pit zips and a 2-way front zipper for enhanced ventilation
  • Welded watertight pockets and zippers, and adjustable cuffs seal out moisture
  • Chest-high hand pockets accommodate a harness or pack; also includes zip chest and sleeve pockets
  • Tapered fit with slim construction is engineered for performance

    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Jovian Jacket - Men's - 2011 Closeout:

    I have had the Jovian for one day and am very please thus far. The slim alpine fit is almost perfect for my body. I have 5'10" and 147lbs with an ape index of just about 1. The torso, back and chest were perfect for me, and the sleeve length was just enough. The sleeves could use one more inch on them, but they are just barely enough to fully cover my wrist and the beginning of my hands with my arms fully extended in front of me. The hood is huge and beefy. The main zipper is a bit stiff, like other reviewers have mentioned, but I did not have any trouble zipping it up or down. To zip it down you do have to use both hands if you have it zipped all the way up because the collar folds down otherwise, but that applies to every single jacket in the world with a high collar. Just give it a good tug with one hand holding up the collar and it zips straight down. The multitude of pockets make the jacket very functional, and as far as I can tell so far, the jacket breaths well and is completely windproof. I will post a review on the breathability of the jacket once I have put it through the wringer in some adverse conditions. But overall i am exceptionally happy with the jacket, especially given that I bough mine on 60% off.
