Outdoor Research Mentor Jacket - Men's
Great Jacket!
By Robert Russell
Ranked #1446 - Men's Technical Shells
September 12, 2009
I've had the Mentor in everything from summer rain in Texas to bitter cold in Alaska and it's worked out great. The full side zips are especially useful when it's warm out. The Gore-Tex Pro Shell breathes much better than I expected. In the past, after hiking the ridge wearing my Gore-Tex shell, I'd have a load of moisture clinging to the inside of my shell. Pro Shell vents moisture much better and doesn't leave me clammy inside my jacket.
I very much recommend this jacket.
