Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Softshell Jacket - Men's

Item #MHW0678 | 84 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Alchemy Soft Shell

By Ranked #200 - Men's Softshell Jackets October 27, 2009

I have one of these that's a few yrs old so not sure how applicable this is to the current product, but here goes...Nice jacket, a slim athletic fit that's true to size IMO. I'm 6'0", 165 lbs, ~41" chest and the large fits perfectly- it's snug but I can wear two thin layers under it when hiking. Mine is still in great shape with no issues and I have no complaints. Not as warm as the MH Windstopper Tech jacket but I wear this under it as part of my layering system on cold days.
