Description of Mountain Hardwear Escape Jacket - Men's: |
|
Leave the city commotion behind you and head into the backcountry with the Mountain Hardwear Men's Escape Jacket. Gore-Tex Performance Shell blocks out snow and water whether you ski, climb ice, or opt for an alpine ascent. Mountain Hardwear peppered this waterproof jacket with features that will see you through a storm. When you make turns down a big mountain face, a rollaway hood with a beefy laminated brim shields your head from wind and snow. The jacket's mesh lining wicks moisture, and when you skin back up to the top, extra-long Underarm zips let you exhaust some heat. The Escape Jacket's inner water bottle helps you stay hydrated on your alpine quests, and zippered pockets ensure you won't leave your car keys somewhere on the glacier.
Bottom Line: The waterproof Mountain Hardwear Escape Jacket lets you leave civilization behind, but take some protection with you.

| I bought my escape jacket from ems a few days ago because i needed dependable rain gear. 2.5 inches of rain later my pants and shoes are soaked through but my cell phone, ipod, and upper body are unscathed by the torrential downpour. i love the rolling hood and visor but i think the biggest kick i will get out of it will be when the ski season starts. simply remarkable, it gets cold i am warm, it gets warm and even in a black coat i don't sweat. these guys should contract to the service or something because i was never this excited about my columbia jacket. i was turned off by the price until i test drove it and the utility is unparalleled. whether you are a city person subject to rainy,windy, and/or cold conditions or an active mountaineer/ skier/ snowboarder/ climber... whatever, this is one item you need to make sure stays in your arsenal. indispensable. |

| I actually purchased this jacket to replace a North Face Technical shell that I bought in the late '90s, back when North Face was catering to the mountaineering crowd instead of college students. Someone stole my beloved NF jacket, and I have not felt whole until I found this one. This jacket has all of the great features of that one, plus a few improvements (and a better price). Forget the bells and whistles, this jacket's best features are it's great materials and construction. The roll-away hood is better than my old NF, with better visor coverage, and turns with the head better. It is a bit bulky looking when it's rolled down, but it doesn't feel that way, and the collar lays down nicely when it's not in use. Since it rolls away, instead of zipping off, you won't forget it in your car, when you need it on the mountain. I wanted a jacket that had a premium membrane, and although gore-tex is a bit pricey these days (actually, I think it always was), this jacket doesn't make you pay an arm and a leg to get it. Seams are well finished, and the shell material is a bit heavier, for those that want durability over absolute light weight (still pretty light). Pockets aren't huge, but they are adequate, and well placed. The lining is not insulated, but does a good job of keeping the shell material off of your skin which makes it versatile in both cold and warmer weather. Pit zips are large, and don't have that annoying mesh underneath that is great in cold weather, but reduces full ventilation when it's warm. Finally the fit is just right... I am about as perfectly medium as a person can get, and I was running into a lot of premium shells that were either slightly too large or too small. This jacket looks trim without actually feeling tight, and is still generous enough to wear a thick fleece underneath. Sorry, North Face, but Mountain Hardwear converted me with this one! |

| I got the men's small because I'm an average sized woman but didn't like any of the women's jackets available. It's kept me dry on several wet hikes here in the rainy pacific northwest, including a rainy weekend on Mt Rainier. I like that it's breathable enough that I don't get clammy sweating on the uphill. The hood is too big, it falls across my eyes if I don't have a baseball cap or helmet on, but maybe that's 'cause I've got a smaller head than a man. I do wish the pockets were a bit bigger, but otherwise this is a great jacket |
