I absolutely love that this gore-tex jacket 3L has some stretch so I can more easily move around and access gear on my harness. The hood is big enough to fit my helmet under. My only improvement suggestion is to consider sizing that includes more room in the chest area for femmes who have bigger boobs so it's not so tight there. I can use the pit zips to help a little bit but not entirely. The jacket fits well everywhere else and I do appreciate that it's cut in a way that doesn't look like a garbage bag sack, but I'm just disappointed it seems outdoor gear is still made with an overall skinnier frame in mind. If you have anything above a B cup, I'd recommend sizing up.
This is a high quality rain shell. I bought a medium but could have sized down to a small and still have room for layers, but for an outer layer it doesn't matter to me if it's a bit big. I always like to have a shell with me when I go on day hikes, regardless of predicted weather, so I was very pleased that not only is this jacket very waterproof but it also is light and compressible enough to stash in my pack for emergencies. This jacket also has pit zips which I think is essential for a hiking shell!
This shell has everything you need. Hood easily covers all kinds of hats or helmets
Love Mountain Hardware. Sadly the zipper on this jacket is not mountain hardware usual quality so 4 stars
