Mountain Hardwear Downhill Down Parka - Men's
Great for resorts
By B Hughes
Ranked #1825 - Men's Down Jackets
February 12, 2009
Very warm resort jacket. I used it in 0 degree (F) weather up in Tremblant and was very comfortable. Slightly awkward fit around the stomach area. However, the fit may be due to my body type. After a full day of skiing expert glades the jacket seemed to retain some moisture. The jacket wasn't wet by any means but seemed slightly damp probably due to the Gore-Tex. Wouldn't really recommend it for a long backcountry slog (although it does have pit-zips) due to weight but that's not really what this jacket was designed for.
Overall, this was a great purchase for cold days at the resort where you don't want to wear the giant down puffy.
