Outdoor Research Mithril Stormshell Jacket - Women's - 2007 BCS

Love the coat......everything i was looking for!!!

I bought this jacket for my wife after having had my own for a couple years. It is the best light-weight jacket I have ever owned, and my wife loves hers, too. It is more waterproof than gore-tex and provides more thermal protection than most of my heavier jackets. I am also very impressed with it's durability having wore it during numerous operations while deployed to Iraq and it still looks new.

I researched many soft shell jackets. I needed a technical layering piece for cold weather mountaineering. This definitely fit the bill. I bought a small but usually I am an extra small. The small is a little big but layers perfectly over thin fleece base layers. The hood will fit over a climbing helmet, which was a must for me. It is lightweight and reasonably priced. I love outdoor research gear.

This is the third softshell I've owned and by far my favorite. This jacket is great for anything. I wear it skiing and I wear it out. It's got a great cut to it, so it looks nice. I love the big hood for when I'm skiing with my helmet and the bigger sleeves are also nice for days that you need to layer.

awesome jacket! love the color (got pomegranate) and it fit very well . Very versatile, not to heavy but will keep you warm on cooler days. Good for the backcountry or city. Love it :)

Awesome jacket, fits well through the shoulders and sleeves, pretty much everywhere. I like the technical yet stylish look. Sometimes the hoods are too big but this one is more reasonable.

best soft shell i own. do recommend going up a size if you're in between sizes like me. waterproof and breathable. perfect for steamboat falls and i plan on using it on pow pow days as well!
