Urban Bomber!

Love this coat! It's as warm as your favorite sleeping bag but without all the rolls of fluffy down. Conduit shell is great for light snow/rain (that's all I've encountered so far), but I'd bet it can handle much more. I'm 6'0, 160lbs and got the Large. Normally, I find the sleeves on most Larges to be a bit short, but if anything, these might even be a bit long. I've been walking around in NYC with this in 10-20 deg weather and haven't noticed the cold at all. One suggestion for improvement would be to make the inside of the collar a bit softer... after a day of urban mountaineering I had a pretty rough chin from it rubbing on the inside of the collar all day... but that's such a picky nit that I couldn't give less than 5 stars. Great jacket, great fit, nice style, warm as Hell, sheds snow/rain, and my Boo loves it... so again, mad props to MHW for another great piece of gear! Get yourself one and go attack some singletrack sidewalk!
