Mountain Hardwear Obsidian Jacket - Men's

Item #MHW1610 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Tight Fit / Lightweight

By Backcountry.com Employee January 8, 2011

Certainly lightweight and the build quality is on par with the rest of MH's gear.

Fabric feels thinner than you would expect, but I have no reservations about the durability.

I'm 5'11 and 170lbs with a proportional chest size and found the L to leave very little room for layering underneath (a Stoic softshell was a close call).
