Mountain Hardwear Epic Jacket - Women's

Item #MHW1146 | 352 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Good Starter Shell

By Ranked #60 - Women's Rain Jackets November 7, 2008

I bought an Epic about 4 or 5 years ago. I have used it for everything from hikes and daily use to trail rides and schooling shows. The sizing is nice--the sleeves are actually long enough for my gorilla arms, and the body length is nice.
Mine is the old Smoke Purple. It has held up pretty well. It can get a tiny bit clammy when I work really hard, but its not bad as far as the older stuff. The one thing to know is that after my long use, the waterproofing coating has started to peel off in chunks around the collar.
