Gear Review
Tight Fit / Lightweight
By Austin H.
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).
