This is a very comfortable, warm, full featured insulated softshell jacket, Lots of pockets, pit zips, another good mountain hardwear product. I found the medium a little tight in the shoulders, (I am 5' 10" 170 lbs.) However like the M.H off width insulated jacket of last year the shell is very stretchy (Tough Stretch)so it gives a lot when reaching. Great for cold dry weather & light snow sleet or just kicking around.
Pro's Primaloft, this stuff is light & WARM love it. Stretchy, lots of storage. Smooth Tafetta lining, great for layering, and to just slip on in a hurry.
Con's Not totaly waterproof, no seam taping. Hood does not remove, no mesh fabric in pit zips for powder boarding/ skiing. Not very many color choices no seam color contrasting so it looks kinda plain to me.
M.H now makes the Sycronicity, its's a hooded syncro with pit zips & 800 fill down insulation , this might be the best jacket yet, but I have not found one to try on yet & it's pricey.
