Mountain Hardwear Synchro Ski Jacket - Men's

5 Star Rating

Great jacket

By Ranked #2747 - Men's Softshell Jackets January 29, 2009

Bought this just in time for a trip to Jackson Hole for New Year's. I like the fit and comfort of this jacket, the sleeves were plenty long which can be an issue for me. The hood is huge -- great for helmets, but you'll look like a jawa if you're bare-headed. Our trip started with warm temps, high humidity and snow, and ended with temps -20 F, so this jacket really had to cover the gamut. It performed like a champ -- the jacket breathed well through both the fabric and pit-zips, it was soft and quiet even in the bone-chilling cold, moved with my body, and shed snow and ice like a champ. For years I've been skiing with just a 3-layer Gore-Tex Marmot jacket, so this was a bit warmer than I'm used to, but it's pretty easy to regulate your temp. I recommend it.
