Mountain Hardwear Epic Jacket - Men's

Item #MHW1178 | 620 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Can't go that wrong

By Ranked #108 - Men's Rain Jackets January 31, 2008

Keep in mind, for the price point this jacket is stellar. I live in the Great Pacific Northwest where 30 straight days of rain doesn't come close to breaking any records; this jacket is superb in all types of precipitation and when coupled with a fleece or softshell does surprisingly well at sub freezing temperatures. The extra long pitzips come in handy as this jacket will retain heat when your active or, in my case, digging the car out of the snow. I choose this shell over others for its versatility; its weight allows the jacket to be used almost year-round and packed anywhere; and is classy enough to wear over a suit on wet days out of the office. Again, for the price and the jacket's versatility its a superb product.
