What gets me up in the morning is an alarm clock. However those are meant to be shut off, if I want to get up and out I simply look forward to the upcoming summit. Success, flawless execution and efficiency are what drive me.

Mountain Hardwear Terra Jacket - Men's
July 3, 2009
Longs January climb 2009. Coming from Chicago, this was the first trip in which I would be testing the jacket out. It did get tested with only two complaints: The first is that it can tear easily (mine got caught on a pine branch the size of a pencil and the branch poked a hole right through it, was just walking along brushed up against the tree and bam instant hole. The second is the zipper, can be a pain to zip up with just liners on, most of the time I had to use my bare hands because it was finiky! Other than that great jacket!

Mountain Hardwear Xenon Jacket - Men's
January 14, 2009
Directed @ Jon Webb but anyone else feel free to chime in,I trust your advice and you did answer a question on my current jacket(MH Terra shell). We got some decent snow here in Chicago, so I suited up my layers with my Terra Shell Jacket on the outside. Did some shoveling, snowball fight with the kids across the street, ect. Just got moving in the jacket. I put my pack on and walked around while shoveling. It did ok... my only qualm is that I DO NOT FEEL DURRABLE in the jacket. I know that it "should" do fine on Longs with a 45lb pack. However my mind is telling me I should get something more durrable. I am trying to keep my jacket purchase under $300 and got the Terra Shell on sale. I was looking at this one hoping that it offers the same protection and provides more durability. Can you help my mind and put me at ease?

Although this jacket is thin, the Typhoon is as thin and not designed for mountaineering. If you wait until after February I will be taking mine to Longs Peak with a 45lb pack. I will let you know how it does.

How does this jacket hold up to wind? It seems all other companies give some sort of wind statement in the product description but this one does not? Thinking about using this as my outter shell in Alpin ascents (Longs peak Nov-March).
