Mountain Hardwear

Stretch Ozonic Jacket - Men's

Geared up for UK trip

Fits well, keeps me dry and looks great. I would definitely buy again

Not water proof, and barely water resistant

I bought this jacket a few months ago for my bike commute to work. Yesterday was the first day I wore it in the rain: it was light rain at about 1mm/hr. My ride is only 8km and takes about 25 mins. I was completely soaked through by about the halfway point. I've had water resistant jackets that kept me drier than this. I don't recommend this jacket for anything more than a short walk in drizzle. It's too bad because the fit and lightness is exactly what I was looking for,

I wore it once in the rain and got wet

I was very excited about this rain jacket because I bike a lot and it's yellow. I got rid of a very expensive and heavy Mountain Hardwear jacket from 25 years ago. Well when it started to rain, I watched the beads on the outside of the jacket soak right through and then my neck was wet and my arms were wet through the jacket. I wasn't sweating because we were just walking around a park in the rain. I had the pit zips open and it was not warm out. I'm very sad to say that this Mountain Hardware doesn't keep water out at all. It was better than nothing.

I bought the jacket to replace my 15 year old Marmot precip in anticipation of a week long backpack trip in the Wind River mountains. I decided to check its weather protection in the shower and learned that it has significant leaks under both arms after only 3 minutes in the shower. Probably the pit zippers. The old Marmot kept me dryer.

Great Jacket and great customer service

Bought this jacket about a month ago and have had the opportunity to wear it in the rain. Very light weight but sealed seems and great repelling water. Have bought several things from backcountry and they get it shipped out quickly. Mountain Hardwear makes great apparel and this jacket is no exception.

THE most comfortable rain jacket I've had. Basically a thin soft shell jacket with a waterproof membrane. Build quality is top-notch, and the face fabric is soft and stretchy unlike any rain jacket I've tried. So far no durability problem after a full year of use. I've gone through hikes where I had to go off trail through some serious spiky bushes which I thought was gonna destroy the jacket. Checking the jacket after the hike I was unable to find any significant wear. If maintaining and properly washing the jacket one in a while, the jacket also seems to be sufficiently waterproof for most drizzles, but does seem to be more prone to wetting out than other more hardshell-like rain jackets. Get this jacket if you plan on wearing it regularly as a wind-rain shell/soft shell on hikes rather than a dedicated severe weather hard shell.

GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PERFECT!!!!! Light, sturdy...........breathable!!!

Great lightweight rain shell

I just received this jacket. I've only worn it in light to medium rain and it seemed to work just fine. It's very comfortable, very light, very packable, and I like the pit ventilation. Planning to take it to hike Hadrian's Wall this spring. Relatively trim fit, not baggy.
