Mountain Hardwear  Chockstone Alpine LT Hooded Jacket - Men's

great when guiding on glaciers and can withstand a quick storm. fits so nice, soft and stretchy. feels great under harness and the zipper is crisp. no vents but fairly lightweight.

This outfit's perfect for spring outings. The color's awesome and it fits just right.

Works great, was under the impression that it’s insulated, (it’s not) but the jacket is still quite warm with proper layering. The jacket is super duper durable and the fabric breathes incredibly well, but the zipper pulls have been pretty finicky with one of the them actually coming off. Definitely size up, I’m usually a medium in mountain hardwear and sizing up to a large was the perfect fit for comfort.

My jacket is a two year model so this is an extended use review. Tremendous hood - stays on in moderate winds without having to pull it in (so still release heat) and the peak is just right to protect eyes over sunglasses. Excellent pockets - big, easy to use. I like the heavy elastic on the cuffs (some may not). Nice length. Medium fits over mesh base, R1 hoodie and light synthetic puffy (I am 155 lbs, 5' 9"). Lower wind resistance (guess at 50-60 cfm) - a wind resistant midlayer is needed when not working strenuously. Very low water resistance - at most a drizzle (reason to not give 5 stars). Very durable fabric - I wear it anytime I can reasonably confidently not expect rain - dog walking, hiking, skiing, ... Glued/adhesive tape seams are coming loose in a couple place which is disappointing after only two years (second reason for 4 stars), though should be easily DIY fixed. Also the front zip is not starting as easily as it did - hmmm.

I know this is meant to be slightly fitted, but I find it's a bit tight still. I normally wear a medium and had to buy a large for this item. This allows me to layer if needed, but can still be worn on its own. I like the material and features. The hood is great, which is a biggie for me. Would love a chest pocket.

Really nice soft shell, super stretchy, the hood is particularly well designed. My main critiques are its fit is a little on the tight and smaller side compared to what i'm used to from MH, and i wish it had a chest zipper, as I find that quite useful in jackets.

Excellent build quality and well-chosen materials make this lightweight softshell ideal for high-output climbing and trail use. It balances breathability and durability well, and its clean design transitions easily from the crag to everyday wear.

I use it as more sturdy wind breaker for multipitch trad climbing. Love the fabric and the elastic cuff that i can pull out of the way when im crack climbing. Its the main reason why i bought this one instead of the Arcteryx gamma.

It is a very nice dress, it fits well, the thickness is a little thin but it does not matter, I plan to wear it when the weather is warmer, I recommend this dress.

The jacket is fine, but I was hoping for it to be a little lighter. It is kind of heavy to wear outside of a puffy jacket and not very warm on it's own.
