Mountain Hardwear Hooded Compressor Insulated Jacket - Men's

Item #MHW1315 | 99 in Stock
3 Star Rating

I should have gone down.

By Ranked #281 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets January 4, 2009

This jacket is really well constructed and has nice features,like a two-way zipper and really warm pockets, and is made of high quality fabric. However, I was in Canada for two days during this year's crazy "arctic blast" and I wore this jacket one day and a columbia fleece over a knit sweater the other day. I was disapointed to find that i was just as warm in the fleece and sweater, if not warmer. I should have gone with down, but was looking to save some green. Poor choice; I've already returned this item because of this discovery, and because of a bad fit(I ordered mine too small). Still, I'm not turned off of MH gear, just synthetic insulation.
