Outdoor Research Mithril Stormshell Jacket - Men's

The Outdoor Research Men's Mithril Stormshell is a hooded softshell jacket that's ideal for mountaineering and backcountry skiing. Made with Ventia softshell fabric, the Mithril Stormshell is fully seam taped for increased water-resistance. The two front pockets on this Outdoor Research jacket are backed with mesh, allowing you to vent by opening them up. Whether you're heading for the high and wild or the steep and deep, the Mithril Stormshell is an excellent choice for weather protection.

Bottom Line: The Outdoor Research Mithril Stormshell keeps the elements at bay when you're in the mountains.

A Nice General Jacket

By:
5 days ago

Looks nice. The problem is it is too wide and too short so it looks like you are wearing a good looking box with a hood. The box does repel water very nicely and comes is some sexy colors. I would choose a furio before the Mithril for any backpacking venture. Mithril is for around town. Too bad they don't make them in a Tall.

Truly Wind/Waterproof

By:
April 30, 2008

I'm 5'10", 150lb. Ordered a small, and it fits perfect for a light duty spring jacket. With a t-shirt or light button-up shirt underneath, I can comfortably move around. Cinch the bottom drawstrings tight and pull the hood up and I've had no problems keeping dry in driving rains. On the flip side, it's still very breathable even with full seam sealing and the whole nine yards.

Comfy Jacket For A Big Guy

By:
April 9, 2008

I'm only 5'8" but i've got big arms and a big gut. I got the xxl and it fits great. I have a Northface softshell that gets "all up in my pits." Wore this to Yosemite "In March" and also to explore the windy coast near San Fran and It was great. The vents worked well but there needs to be pockets separate from the vents. Had to pull cold hands into sleeves.

Great Shell

By:
April 3, 2008

I had not owned a waterproof soft shell before purchasing this jacket. Where my old hard shell would transfer the temperatures quickly (especially in a soaking rain), this jacket from OR kept me both dry and warm! I wore it in a driving Florida storm and stayed perfectly dry. Yet it breathed well enough that I wasn't roasting when I kept in on indoors. I love this product!

Good Softshell for the price

By:
April 1, 2008

Aside from the cuff/hood combo which chafes my neck, and the lack of pit zips, this is a really good softshell for the buck. Extrememly waterproof and very warm for its weight.

Dry and Warm

By:
February 25, 2008

I wore the jacket yesterday in moderate rain fall and stayed completely dry. The jacket has a soft lining that also makes it fairly warm in comparison to just a shell. I haven't had a chance to go skiing yet, but I am pretty sure that it could withstand wind, snow, and cold just as well. Really happy with this purchase.

great for skiing

By:
January 30, 2007

I've been skiing in this jacket a few times in both heavy snow and bitter cold. Overall, it's very weatherproof and breathable, but it's not as windproof as my old hard shell. I'm 5' 11", 170 lbs and got a large -- the fit is great. Plenty of room for layers without being bulky. Also, it looks good, which is nice.

Water Tight

By:
September 23, 2006

I am a student at Michigan Tech in the Keweenaw Penninsula. Had the jacket on today as my geological engineering class went out to Lake Superior in the rain. Kept the rain out flawlessly, and the wind. Standing on a rock face not really paying attention, got NAILED by a sweet crushing wave, jeans were soaked, shoes were soaked, head and torso completely dry. Awesome.
