Beyond Fantastic!!!

The Mammut quality is above and beyond anything on the market today and this jacket is no exception. This jacket is as light as a feather yet gives you protection like a tank. The materials and craftsmanship on this jacket is unreal combined with a great simple, yet functional design.
The front pockets are rather long, but the 2 zipper system allows you to reach your contents from up high or down low and easily set up for a hand warming pockets. There is one inner safe pocket inside the jacket.
The hood on this jacket is perfect, it covers the head but it's not too long that a slight breeze will make it come sailing off the skull.
The price can be high for Mammut, but I look at it as an investment. I would rather have a quality piece like the Albaron that will last many seasons oppose to a jacket that will only last one season.
I've gotten rid of all my Marmot and North Face clothes in favor of Mammut and it's a decision I'll never regret.
Combine this with the fantastic service of Backcountry and Department of Goods and hit that "add to cart button"!!
