Mountain Hardwear Epic Jacket - Women's

Item #MHW1668 | 38 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Love MH.

By Ranked #494 - Women's Rain Jackets May 29, 2010

I'm 5'5 125lbs and the medium is too big and the small fits better. In the small the pit zips are way too tight on my underarms. I don't consider myself having a short torso but this jacket shows substantial mid drift when lifting my arms. Arm length is longer than most (a good thing for me). The bill hood actually covers my face when my hair is up (which can't be said for the Marmot Strato). The Strato wins is terms of material flexible-ness. This jacket FEELs like a rain jacket whereas some newer jackets avoid this feel. The style is a bit boxy but for me this is fine. Overall it's positives outweighed the negatives and i got a good price.
Oh and avoid the Grasshopper color! Hurts my eyes!
