Mountain Hardwear Quark Jacket - Men's
amazing blend of weight, protection, and usability

Ranked #1981 - Men's Technical Shells
August 10, 2009
Just got back from a trip in the Bob Marshall wilderness. Got rained out the last couple days, and the jacket performed great. The fabric did not soak through after hours of hiking in moderate to heavey rain. The breathability was very impressive. When hiking with a full pack, opening the vents just partially provided enough ventalition to keep me from sweating. This is easily the most breathable jacket I have ever used. The stretch makes for a very versatile fit, and I feel the fabric is quite durable for its weight.
I am 5'8", 135 lbs, slim build. A medium fits me perfect (I usually wear a small). Not too baggy over a t-shirt, and works well over a sweatshirt or fleece.
