Wearing this coat everyday. LOVE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Female 5’7” 140lbs Size M My daily driver. I’ve been wearing this every morning. It so light, soft and WARM. Totally comfortable to wear this in 30°F weather. The fabric is durable. I wore it rock climbing and also was loose in my bag with no rips or tears. I cannot wait to pack this thing ski touring. I’m currently taking it as my warm layer as I backpack around Asia for the next few months. It packs down small. I’m obsessed with this coat that I didn’t even know I needed. Runs big. But I like the loose fit. For layers underneath. I received this product free in exchange for my honest feedback.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tested the Mountain Hardwear jacket during outdoor activities, including walking, hiking, and spending time outside in changing weather conditions. I used it in cool and breezy conditions, and it provided a comfortable layer of protection against the elements. The jacket was comfortable to wear and had a practical fit that allowed me to move freely without feeling too tight or bulky. Its flexibility made it suitable for walking and other outdoor activities. Breathability was reasonable during general activity, helping me stay comfortable while moving outdoors. The jacket provided a useful layer of warmth in cooler temperatures and worked well as part of a layering system. It also helped protect against cool breezes and changing outdoor conditions. The jacket was convenient to bring along on outdoor outings, and its pockets were useful for carrying small essentials such as my phone, keys, and other personal items. Overall, the construction appeared well made, with a functional design suited to regular outdoor use. I would recommend this jacket for hiking, walking, camping, traveling, and everyday outdoor activities. It would be a good choice for hikers, campers, travelers, and anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors and wants a comfortable, versatile jacket for changing weather conditions. Overall, I had a positive experience testing the Mountain Hardwear jacket and would recommend it to anyone looking for a practical and comfortable outdoor layer.

Solid synthetic jacket!

Just got this jacket and have been able to use it outside as the temperatures are starting to drop. Very packable and light, but still keep me really warm. Going to enjoy using this in the PNW fall in winter as synthetic jackets are really useful out here. I love how warm it kept me, but it was still low profile and fits well under my rain jacket.

Warn and Cute

I love the pattern the quilts are in. And I like the stretchy sleeves. I have worn and brought this on quite a few climbing outings and I love that it is warm but also packs down into itself so I can keep it on my harness for when I get cold
