Mountain Hardwear Transition Featherweight Zip - Men's

Item #MHW0022 | 0 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Great at what it does - but some flaws

By Ranked #891 - Men's Windshirts and Jackets December 12, 2006

I'm a huge fan of Mountain Hardwear, but in my opinion they missed the mark slightly here. Like the other reviews say, this piece does its job well. It keeps you warm and dry in cool weather. Unfortunately I find it very itchy and irritating, especially around the seams, which seem quite thick and obtrusive. I've read this from other reviews as well. Maybe it's just a few people that have sensitive skin, but I have similar style garmets from other manufacturers and none of them have these issues. Of course this is all solved by putting a light base layer underneath, but then it kind of defeats the whole purpose of 'N2S'.
