Ranked #4913 - Men's Softshell Jackets
February 21, 2007
Just a thin shell that's softer and stretchier compared to Gore-Tex shells. The construction is impressive with the taped seams and pit zips. I've used it in serious New England snow conditions and it works flawlessly. Be careful with MH sizing. I am 5-9", 160lbs, 33" waist and bought Medium. The Manticore works fantastic with my MH Link jacket but it's a SNUG fit. When I cross my arms, I get that "pulling" feeling on the shoulders which I like. I didn't buy this jacket for the bitter cold so I don't need anything heavy underneath, but if you want this jacket for every layering condition, you have go up one size to your norm. My new fave winter shell!
