Description of Mountain Hardwear WindStopper Tech Jacket - Men's: |
Just because the country is in the throws of a heat wave doesn't mean you can't plan ahead. The Mountain Hardwear Men's WindStopper Tech Jacket—a classic by now—is a windproof piece excellent for touring, track skiing, mountaineering, or whatever high-output sport you favor in winter. A windproof Gore WindStopper membrane keeps you warm with little added weight and it's incredibly breathable for long, hard aerobic workouts. As you make your final push for the peak, a moisture-managing mesh lining helps keep you dry on the inside. Extra-long underarm vents drop excess heat, zippered hand and security pockets stash your Chapstick and keys, and reinforcements in high-abrasion areas increase durability. When the snow comes, use the Windstopper Tech as a breathable mid-layer under a waterproof shell.
Bottom Line: Serious wind protection for serious mountain pursuits.

| So you read the reviews, right? You may just think that every single one of the people who have decided to review are hardcore gear heads with too much time on their hands... maybe they are, at least I thought that. I mean, I read the reviews for this jacket, and needless to say, I still felt the jacket and/or it's raters were an anomaly at the very least, I would not have ever expected such a product to exist that was as great as people say it is. Well it is great, and it does exist. MHW takes this jacket to a level not yet reached by other outdoor companies, but this is my opinion so interpret it how you wish. Never would I have foreseen my writing this review, strictly because of the time it would consume, but I must bow down to the superiority of this jacket and indulge you with a brief and colorful synopsis of why I've found it to be such a marvelous piece of equipment. I work outside in Louisville, KY and the weather here is pretty fair year round. Winter avg. temp. is 25-30 F with gusts of 10-15 mph winds due to our location on the Ohio River Valley, like I said...fair. I do not get cold very easily when active outside, albeit, who usually does? With this jacket on, due to it's incredible windstopping, all I need is a long sleeve t-shirt underneath and I am Golden. Never has wind been blocked with such tenacity, and to further test this jacket, I rode with all my windows down in my Subaru when it was 20 F outside for a good 30 miles without once feeling any unusual cold holes in this jacket. MHW has amazed me, there is no other word that can describe any more eloquently a jacket such as this. This has been my two-cents, so it is with my continued slack jawed amazement I shall adorn my back once more with this jacket to go and confidently brave the breezy ville. |

| Better then TNF Denali 10-19-08 |
| Tom Le (3): |
| I haven't worn my Denali since I got this jacket. Not as thick and heavy as the Denali, and it's actually windproof. Superb design! Material on shoulders are durable and can withstand abrasion from backpack straps. Side pockets are placed higher so that they can accessed over backpack's hip belt. I normally wear XL, but opted for XXL, fit's a little loose, but great for layering. Even loose, the cut and design is very flattering. Don't let the weight and lack of thickness full you, this is will keep you warm over the thick Denali. |

| Quality Jacket 01-27-07 |
Nick P (3):  |
| The reviews for this coat are on target:
Pros -
-Excellent wind-stopping ability
-Good, athletic fit
-Soft material
Cons -
-Pockets are high cut, a little uncomfortable
-Obnoxious chest logo
-External chest pocket is awkward. I wish the Napoleon pocket was on the outside.
-Not nearly as warm as some reviewers suggest. Keeps out the wind, but isn't super-insulative.
-Neck could be a litle tighter. I have a big neck relative to the rest of my body. Even so, when fully zipped up, the collar still isn't snug against my skin.
Overall, a recommended jacket, with a few acceptable drawbacks. |
