First off I recommend ordering a size smaller than your other Mountain Hardware gear. Good: Nice looking jacket, pockets are great and very comfortable. Arm holes were perfect. Various cords you can tighten make it good at blocking the wind. Bad: My wife has the similarly priced North Face Nuptse Down vest which to be frank is much nicer. As stated in some other reviews this vest does lose feathers and the surface material is much thinner than the North Face. Personally for me the shoulders were too wide and the vest just and inch or two shorter than I would like.

I own several different wool and synthetic base layer shirts and this one is hands down the best. It never smells and doesn't itch. Something I haven't been able to figure out is some of my other base layers have problems if you wear antiperspirant with them and it never comes out of the shirt - not so with this one. Not sure if it's the material or the fit not riding into your pits. If I ever see this shirt go on sale again I will buy a ton of them for all my friends and family (and to have a backup or two in case I damage mine or it's dirty).

This is my favorite of all the many jackets I own. My wife kept stealing it so much I had to buy her one of her own. The jacket is great in that when it's cold it insulates but it's not stuffy at all when it warms up making it excellent for everything from hiking to wearing in town to see a movie. It's also great looking. Be warned it has no, zip, zero, nil wind resistance so if it's going to be even a little windy grab a shell on your way out the door. For me the fit is absolutely perfect (6'0 170lbs, size L monkey man).

Perfect shirt for midlayer skiing in the winter or base/only layer while hiking in the high elevation in summer. Would get perfect 5 stars except it's so expensive. If you like this shirt try the Icebreaker base layers which are amazing.

My wife has this vest and I have a similarly priced Mountain Hardwear down vest and this TNF vest is much better. Its great looking, rarely loses feathers and is super comfortable.

I bought this pack for my wife and she absolutely loves it. Its perfect both for when she goes jogging in the heat and for our frequent day hikes. The area that stores the water pouch is also insulated so the water stays very cold and refreshing. The build quality is also top notch. I highly recommend this pack if you are looking for a small hydration pack.
