I want to like this jacket so much, but its so incredibly shiny, especially in "Grill." It seriously is about as shiny as a black trashbag. In fact, I saw it at the bottom of my closet + literally thought it was a trash bag for a second.

Aesthetics aside, this is a very warm, lightweight jacket that can go anywhere. It packs nicely into its own pocket + zips shut. The collar, waist, + cuffs can be tightened to your preference.

The exterior "shell" is pretty wimpy + feels as if any snag or careless rock brush will leave you sewing. This thin material results in the zippers getting caught fairly easily, which can be annoying, but not overcome.

I am 5'11" 165, athletic, + the medium fits great, with room to layer beneath or above. Note, most people feel Mtn Hardware runs small.

At the end of the day this is a great not-so-poofy layer that resists the wind + water fairly well. If you can get passed the sheen + arent too tough on the shell, its well worth it, even if its a "just in case" layer. Fix those problems + Mountain Hardware will have 6 star product

Very warm for its weight. Not bulky. Have worn it in 20 degree weather and have not wished for a heavier jacket. Right now it's on sale you coouldn't ask for more. Well worth having.

Super warm, light & packable. It's not nearly as puffy as a lot of down jackets, but probably performs just as well. It's best if worn under a shell, as the material seems really delicate and is definitely not waterproof. I wouldn't want this to get snagged on a branch or caught in the rain. Also, it's kind of shiny, which may be off-putting to some, but I really don't care. And finally, it's sizing is a bit awkward. I normally wear small, but was only able to try on a medium. It fit great through the arms and the length was perfect but it was a tad big in the torso. However, after using the waist drawstring, it felt just fine. Overall this is one of my favorite jackets and I wear it whenever I stop moving outdoors.
