Mountain Hardwear Offwidth Primaloft Jacket - Men's - 2006 BCS

I bought this for downhill skiing and layering in the backcountry. It is the perfect weight for skiing between 20 and 40 degrees which is the majority of my days. When it gets colder I layer with a vest and shell. I've been comfortable skiing like this down to 5 below with wind. my only gripe is the chinese manufacturing seems a bit subpar. The seams covering the zippers do not line up and allow wind to get through. but for $75 bucks this was a steal compared to other softshells of this weight.

Aside from the seemingly Carhart style on the front of this jacket, I took a gamble on it. I am impressed by the fit of the jacket, and there are plenty of little things that will make is usefull as an everyday jacket as well as for outings. It's got a hidden elastic cuff to keep out the cold, along with plent of pockets. The chest ones seem odd, but are very easy to access with one hand. The inside also has a few extra storage pockets- 1 for an mp3 player. This thing goes very well with my OR Elixir for the Spring/Fall for those days when anything goes. Oh yeah, pit zips too.

Great quality, functionality and warmth. Breathable, water and wind resistant and the Primaloft makes it a warm jacket. The materials appear to be high quality. Seams are clean and the jacket feels solid. I agree with some of the reviewers that the jacket is not the most stylish; however, it's made for functionality and serves that purpose well. My only complaint is the jacket is cut a little short, however, I believe this is to accommodate a harness for climbing.

Great Jacket for the price.
