The North Face Mammatus Jacket - Men's
Overall a very good jacket

The Mammatus jacket is a very good jacket for the following reasons: 1. Light weight - hard to find anything lighter with same protective qualities. 2. Excellent manufacturing - all seams really well protected. 3. Adjustable helmet protection.
There are a few minor shortcomings though: 1. Collar is very rigid and disturbs slightly when not fully closed - some tailoring to the natural . 2. Underarm zippers cannot easily be opened with one hand - the need the other hand to pull from the other side.
Overall, this is a near perfect jacket, but TNF could continue improving it. I can recommend it.
