Berghaus Mount Asgard Smock - Men's
Fit
By Ben Reynolds
Ranked #420 - Men's Technical Shells
July 17, 2011
I saw this jacket in the UK earlier this year and jumped on the chance to get it on sale for 280 here. Everything is designed and well thought out like they describe it, except for one thing. In their effort to save weight, they have used once panel of gore tex for the back and the arms. This creates not a "sleek athletic cut" as described, but a fit that creates a very tight and unnatural pull around your armpits and shoulders. If two panels had been used, the jacket would fit superb. It makes for a jacket that you are constantly trying to get comfortable and is very annoying. Definitely try one on if you can before you buy.
