Great jacket!!

Fantastic jacket ( I've got the 2009 model, L SIZE)incredibly lightweight and warm. Weight less than many fleeces and is twice as warm.Fit is snug but comfy enough to work on a belay.I' ve read complaints about being too short on the back, I think length is just ok, in addition it comes with a waist draw cord on the inner back part to tighten and seal in warmth.Both hand warmer and the other 2 zippered pockets are well designed and cover their function.I ve owned TNF summit parka and Marmot Parbat before and this one is much better quality.Only thing I would add on it is an isolated hood but cant complain at all.Congrats MHW!
very warm & light

Im looking for this jacket, the model from 2007 but can't seem to find it anywhere. if anyone has some ideas as to where i could get my hands on one it would be much appreciated. I am in need of a small in case someone is willing to sell me theres.

Just search for it on google shopping. I've seen them on there before, but probably not many of them. Not sure why you're looking for the 2007 model but I would just get the current version.

Aileen. Not sure if you will be able to find a '07 Phantom. The fabric has only improved since then... is it a color thing? The styling and material set has not changed (15D Nylon/800+ fill down) Good luck!
5 stars, my as* !

Kudos to Mountain Hardware for handsome styling. However using the term "harware" in any regard to this this jacket is an oxymoron. The zippers are narrow, thin, flimsy nylon jobs that grab the material and are forever bent out of shape. I had to cut myself out of the jacket since it could not be unzipped. It's as if Lamborghini turned to Yugo for its assembly line.
Skip this one.

i chose the mountain hardwear phantom over the mountain hardwear sub zero for two reasons.
1. it's warmer with 800 fill vs. 650 for the sub zero.
2. it's lighter at 15oz (440g) vs. the sub zero 1lb 11oz (765g).
i am 5'10 with 30 inch waist and i even went a step further and went for a size small. it's perfect, but any smaller and it would be too small. it's light and super warm. i like the shortness of it in case i need to wear a harness however some might feel it's too short. it packs down into a nice little package for packing on the skin up. AND the fleece lined pockets are a very nice supprise luxury for a superlight jacket.
Super Light & Very Cozy, BUT...

I absolutely LOVE this jacket, BUT... The outer shell, which is nylon, can melt VERY easily. If you are a smoker, DO NOT get this jacket. I was a smoker when I got this jacket and a tiny piece of ash fell from my cigarette causing a small hole to melt right through the front zippers lining... in seconds! Also, I was wearing this jacket when I got into a car accident and the friction from the seatbelt left burn marks on the outer shell of the jacket. The seatbelt actually cut through the the thin shell of the jacket and now its ruined... My only other two gripes are that the jacket is a bit short. Im 5'10", medium build, 190lbs and I dont like tight fitting clothes... The XL fit me PERFECT, but it could be about 2 inches longer to prevent exposing my lower back when I sit down. Other than that, this jacket is EXCELLENT for a NY Winter! As a matter of fact, sometimes this small and extremely light jacket can make you sweat from the warmth... Just make sure you wear deodorant or your jacket will end up smelling like a gym!
I love this jacket so much that I am buying the same exact one all over again... I just hate that they put the name on the sleeve on this model... the logo alone would have been fine, just like the one I previously owned... :(
Mountain Hardwear Phantom Jacket - Awesome

The Phantom Jacket is one of my favorites pieces of gear I own. It is ultra lightweight at less than a pound. Since it is so light, I bring it if there is any question that it might be cold. It makes a great belay jacket or camping jacket. It also stuffs into a very small stuff sack for easy stowage.
Love it. Light & Warm
David Belden

I haven't had this jacket in the snow yet, but so far it's proven to be extremely light, and even warmer than my other, heavier down jackets. It fits a bit tighter too, so there isn't extra space to heat, which is nice. I've worn it on cold & windy Tahoe and San Francisco evenings and it's kept me extremely warm. So far I'm very impressed and I'm pretty sure this will be my go-to extra "warm layer" for back county skiing. 6'4", 170, and a size L is perfect.
Good jacket - but not windproof

I bought this jacket for my weekly travel to Buffalo NY from Louisiana. The good points of the jacket are that it is extremely light weight and packs easilyback it my travel bag as I returned to 80 F Louisiana. My biggest negative is that the wind just cuts right through it. On windy Buffalo winter days (which is every day there), I found that the jacket did not perform well. Still a good jacket, just not what I hoped for.

Is this model (2008) longer then the previous years (2007 etc) models? Some reviews on this page (from 2007 etc) say it is a little short. Is it longer then the sub zero? I am 5'10, 33" waiste average build would a large be to big?

Hi. wondering if it's a baffle like construction or does the stitching go right through the material. Thanks

The stitching goes straight through to make little bubbles. It is sewn through versus sewn like a sleeping bag... it is a weight saving measure and is still very warm
Toasty, Stylish, and LIGHT

Got this jacket on sale just in time for the end of ice climbing season, and it delivered. Warm as hell as a belay jacket in Adirondack sub-zero standing around, and so lightweight and packable I had no reservations about throwing it in my pack for some back-country cross country ski trips in the Marcy dam area. I am 6'4", 180, ordered an XL and it hits right at the waist, but for a belay jacket that's exactly what I want so it doesn't interfere with my harness. Overall, this jacket is fantastic, although I agree fleece on BOTH sides of the pockets would be fantastic.
Excellent Jacket

This is a "jacket" not a "parka". The difference - try a hanging belay on water ice with a parka that comes down over your harness. Is it warm? HECK YEAH, it IS 800 fill after all!!!! Who needs pit zips when you can unzip the front of the jacket??? Ok, here is the real deal on this "jacket". It is _very_ light and _very_ warm. I have used it in many extreme weather conditions (Smokey Mtns 18deg to Mt Washington -18deg) and it will do exactly what you want it to do. Great as a belay jacket as it repels spin drift and softens falling ice chunks. Easy to stuff into your climbing pack and pull on over a shell at belay stations. Extremly wind proof. Sits above harness when you are climbing so you can get to your pro. Pockets are fleece on the back on the hand with little insulation on the palm...I was skeptical of this at first but then realized that your body is much warmer than fleece and your hands quickly warm once against your stomach. What it isn't - waterproof but what down jacket that weighs 16oz is? Plus, no down is waterproof...that is what Primaloft is for. Durable, I have a few small tears from ice axes but they don't run and sew up very easily. It is not a "parka". If you are going to Denali, Everest, etc...this is not your parka. If you are backcountry hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, climbing in the Whites or Cascades, or kicking it Apres @ Vail this is the jacket for you.
Light packable puffy

The "puffy", a key piece in the "hey I go in the mountains" look. Well, the Phantom will actually be of benefit when you make it out into the hills. If light is right then this is the jacket Dick Cheney duck hunts in. And at 800 fill it's nice and toasty while you're waiting for the paramedics to come while thinking up excuses for shooting your friend in the face. I wear the sapphire because it really compliments my eyes.
The reviews are Right! Note style/sizing.

What the other reviews have said is true. This jacket is super warm (comfortably walked around outside with a light wool sweater underneath in near 0 F weather), super light, and super compressible (I easily stuff it into my bookbag). This has quickly become my go to jacket for the cold upstate NY weather. I even sometimes throw it on in the morning as the house warms up.
A note about the style/sizing. I'm almost 5'11", 38" suit size, 31" pant inseam. Given those measurement I thought I'd be a small, but it was too small. I ended up buying a medium. Also this is a *jacket*; it ends a couple inches below your waist. This isn't like my other winter coat which covers my butt. This jacket covers about half my butt and ends at about the pockets of my pants in front. I'm guessing the fit is due to the fact that the jacket is made as an ultralight backpacking jacket (need range of motion in the legs).
Love this Jacket!

Lightweight, warm and generally rocks! The weight and pack-down size are phenomenal. The only drawback I see is the perceived weight of the shell. It may be very strong, but it just looks a little thin. I have not had any problems with durability, I just feel like it is more of a down sweater than it is a jacket.
WARMTH
ZenMasterD

I bought this down coat last year and used it for a variety of activites. From hiking 14ers to a very cold winter in (0 C)Beijing, China - and Ulan Batuur, Mongolia. Positives: Lightweight and packs small and very compact. This coat will keep your body core warm enough for -56 C weather (Mongolia), lounging around a campfire and just extreme cold. If you were to be caught out in the cold and had to emergency bivy, you could do it with this jacket. I've gone in serious cold with this jacket and it has never failed to keep me warm. Negatives: I received this jacket with the pockets lined only on one side of each of the pockets. Both the the cuffs on the sleeve were sewn twisted and therefore makes it an awkward feel. Factory reject? This coat is so warm, it requires pit zips but does not have any. A big downer for anyone requiring the warmth and ventialtion at the same time. When it comes to wind, this coat is thick enough to stop the wind in most places. The wind stopping flap that's supposed to stop the wind wrinkled up, exposing the zipper permanently and rendering it's windstopping abilities almost as soon as i got it. As of date 2 out of the 4 zippers have broken including the main zipper, disabling the complete use of it. Since the first days of receiving this coat, down has continued to puff out of the coat itself. It comes out everywhere and taints my clothing. The thin outer shell is nowhere near to being waterproof and any water/snow soaked this through. Down feathers easily poke through and come out. Being wet makes the downing useless. On a good note, my g/f got a similar mountain hardwear coat with a thicker shell, so maybe they got their act together. I've gone through some detrimental conditions with this coat and the only thing it does well is keep me warm. If you require technical use beyond hitting the city streets get something with better venting.
Awesome Down Jacket!

This jacket is super warm and lightweight. Everything about it says quality.. Mountain Hardwear jackets tend to fit a little snug in the pits for me, but this one fits perfectly.

Just received this jacket and it is great. Slightly puffier than I thought but along with all other MH products, amazing. Fits exactly like Windstopper tech fleece for a reference in buying.
