My local gear store does not carry the Afterburner, but they did carry the MH Windstopper Tech, which I tried on. How would you compare the Afterburner to the MH Windstopper or the Pamir or Windstopper? For example, the MH felt very supple and comfortable. I also tried the TNF Pamir and Windwall--they felt bulky and hard. Not what I'm looking for in a fleece. Thanks.

The MH Tech doesn't have a "stiff mesh inside" it is soft on the inside and is a great jacket for use in almost any condition and it doesn't feel harsh at all. If by "stiff" you mean it doesn't stretch then you are correct, but all Windstopper fabric does not stretch as well as other materials.

I've tried on both and debated between the two. I went with this one - the Afterburner - because it was a touch heavier, warmer, and looks better (at least in black) for casual wear. The Marmot is going to be a bit stiffer, but thats also because its a bit thicker. I'm 6'4 180 and went with a large for both if that helps.

Can't speak to the MH or TNF windstopper, but the Marmot Afterburner is a velour/velour windstopper, meaning it has fleece on both the inside and the outside. Much of the windstopper on the market has fleece on the outside, but a stiff mesh on the inside, which isn't nearly as soft and warm. Hope that helps.
