Outdoor Research Mentor Jacket - Men's
Great attention to detail
By Matt Oakley
Ranked #655 - Men's Technical Shells
January 24, 2011
This jacket was very well thought out. It is light, relatively packable and has a good athletic cut.
The vent zips are huge
The hood is helmet compatible and using the drawcords you can make it fit very well without a helmet as well.
Tough material, it will stand up to some serious abuse.
Stays under your harness pretty well while climbing, and the arms are long enough to keep in place under your glove gauntlets.
Over all a great Alpine jacket
