This is one of my FAVORITE jackets! Extremely lightweight. Rolls into a pocket to carry. Beyond waterproof and windproof. Doesn't make me sweat. The chest pockets are in the right place and size, especially when I have a backpack on. And it works across multiple season and outdoor activities. I can wear it to the grocery store or hiking and snowboarding. And I've worn it for all of them. This jacket is always at the front of my closet, ready to be grabbed in any situation.
Not new clothes,Very obvious traces
This shell is a durable, do it all product. It has great pocket placement for access when wearing a backpack. The usability ranges I found are for skiing, hiking, and climbing. Other ski shells have hand gaiters that limit use for anything else while this one does not, a plus for what I am looking for. The fabric is 70D, the equivalent of most Gore-Tex Pro shells. This is a proprietary Mammut shell that uses an eco friendly DWR coating, better for the earth but it does not stay as waterproof as the older PFC shells. It means a bit more maintenance to reapply, but it’s a worthwhile sacrifice.
used it over the weekend during a ski touring trip, we had crazy wind and cold weather. Loved that it was not that "rigid" as the normal gore-tex jacket and it was still super wind proof. the waterproofness is yet to be tested, but I am sure it will bring the usual Mammut quality and will perform perfectly.
This seems like a really high-quality jacket, however after I gifted it to my husband for Christmas he decided to return it because of the hood. The hood is a strange shape and is kind of difficult to wear unless you zip the front collar all the way up to your eyeballs; if you don't zip it, the huge collar flaps in front of your face in a strange way. The jacket also seems to run slightly small. I think it's probably good for like hiking in seriously inclement weather where you want your face all zipped in, but not for more everyday urban wear.
This is a great jacket and does a wonderful job keeping out the elements. The sleeves are longer than other jackets, but I have found it give me more articulation and keeps what ever I have underneath my jacket dry since it doesn’t pull up my wrist when I move. The body of the jacket fits well. I agree with others that some additional pockets would be nice. I would also like to see some more adjustments for the hood for a more custom fit. Overall I think this will be a great jacket for years to come. I ordered a large and it fits well. I am 5’ 11”, 192 lbs.
I am 5'11" and 175lbs, I have a very long torso and lengthy arms. This jacket fits perfect in a Medium. Most jackets have good arm length but feel too short. I like the backs of jackets longer as well as the sleeves and this fit the bill. The waterproofness has been top notch and great for a shell. You can use this as a resort shell, everyday shell, or a ski touring shell. It feels solid and the 70D outer is strong but not loud and crinkly. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs an all purpose jacket.
I have used this jacket as a rain shell and winter shell the past season. It has performed fantastically. It is noticeably more breathable than other hardshells I've had, and has performed well in wet conditions (rain, melting snow) in Colorado. I have not tested the product in wetter climates. At the cost of weight, some front pockets would be appreciated. Overall, I love the jacket and am very sad to have misplaced it in my recent move. Would recommend!
No pockets for hands! Really?!? I didn't notice until wearing it for the first time. A year later I hate this jacket. You either need to always wear gloves or stick your hands into your pants pockets. The chest pockets also aren't easily/quickly accessed. This is a terribly stupid design despite the use of high quality materials and craftsmanship.
High quality and well built. Have used this in wet snow and the waterproofing was great. Also used it on a windy cold day in the Colorado alpine, and it had good wind blocking, the pit zips are easy to use.. I'm happy with it so far, I got it for skiing, ice climbing and hiking and it will work good. Weight didn't seem too bad and it's got a nice heavy weight feel. I like the material, the outer is just a little soft and has nice feel. The hood is large, and im sure would fit a helmet.. A couple cons: arms are just slightly long, to fully cover gloves I think but are long for normal use. The zippers seem good but are a little smaller sized to use with gloves. For fit, I'm 5'9 about 170 and got the large. It's not an athletic fit and is slightly boxy, but I found it comfortable in the chest and waist and can still have a layer under it. I use a lighter thermal type jacket under it comfortably. A mid weight down could be worn but it's a little snug.
