Winter might be on its way, but, since the trail is still clear, you zip up the Mountain Hardwear Women's Effusion Power Jacket and head out for a run. The Micro Climate Zoning construction features both windproof, water-resistant panels and stretchy, breathable panels to provide protection and mobility where you need them most.

  • Dry.Q Active technology provides a windproof and water-resistant barrier on the front and sleeve panels to block out the invading elements
  • Breathable, stretchy, and moisture-wicking fabric on the back and underarms provides mobility and comfortable heat-reduction once you get in your groove
  • The water-resistant coating further sheds moisture if you get caught in a snow shower or a little drizzle
  • Flatlock seams reduce rubbing during long loops through the alpine
  • Half-glove cuffs hide your fingers from cold mountain air and fold back when not needed
  • Full-length front zipper and tall collar provide additional warmth retention as well as venting so you don't overheat when the sun comes out
  • Highly visible reflective print keeps you on the radar of morning drivers
  • A chest stash pocket holds an MP3 player, and a collar cord loop keeps your headphone cable from interfering with your strides

Bottom Line: Move through the mountains with ease, despite the onset of fall.

Sweet piece

Great layering piece that I use from everything from running to climbing to hiking to ski touring. It's versatile, water-resistent, and has a tone of give and stretch for high performance in activities. Love the half-glove cuffs for when you're traveling light and don't have glovees when it gets cooler. Handy stash pocket for ipod, keys, cc, etc. Nice collar feature and good feminine fit. I'm 5'8 with athletic build and the medium fits great.

The Perfect Running Jacket

I love this jacket. All the little details such as the hand-glove cuffs (my favorite part), chest pocket and cord loop, the reflective details, and flatlock seams make it the best jacket I have found so far. It is very comfortable and true to fit. I ran when it was 32 degrees the other morning and was plenty warm with just this jacket over a long sleeve cold weather shirt. Its a great color too!

Great product, but not ment for me...

I am 5' 4" and 120lbs. The small was great in the arm length and very nice feminine fit. However, it was tight under the pits and through the shoulders, which was confusing because I am very slender in the top. Loved the fold over hand warmers. I hope other have better fitting luck and really get to enjoy this piece.
