I spent a week skiing in the Alps with these. They have a great fit and the Dry.Q Elite worked as well as Gore-tex keeping me dry. The Stretch fabric seems very durable yet…

I am a fan of Mountain Hardwear, but this is a poorly designed jacket. Mountain Hardwear calls it "ideal for any climb". It should say "ideal for any climb that you dont lift…

I'm giving it four stars because the fabric is savvy and this things totally feels bombproof. Serious zippers. Serious fabric. Unfortunately, compared to other MH jackets (…

So this jacket got me through seven straight stormy days on California's Lost Coast. After that trip, and staying dry and warm for 99% of the time, I realized how awesome this…

After fishing around in the sea of light weight breathable jackets I finally decided to run with the Plasmic. I just returned from a 5 day windy, and damp trip in Bigs Sur, a…

This is the softest fleece I've ever owned. Wearing it makes cuddling up to rusty nails and broken glass comfortable. It's warm too, so if those nails and glass have been sitt…

The warmth to weight ratio is a winner and it's a great on the trail or the sidewalk. The material is unique. It's as soft and warm as any light jacket you'll ever wear. 2 iss…

Overall it is a good jacket but not what I needed. I am a bit of a minimalist so if you are too this probably isn't the jacket for you. Dry Q Elite is a fantastic fabric and I…

Its a light fleece layer that offers pretty good warmth and I thought the grid would wear better as I expected to have it as an outer layer when its warm. The red is a nice ri…

I absolutely love this shirt! It's the perfect light fleece that can keep you warm when it is chilly, but isn't too hot for when you're hiking! I wicks moisture better than an…

This jacket is exceptionally light and very warm. Packs down to just about the size of a football, so it fits nicely into any pack. Did I mention how light it is?…

I recently used this jacket skiing for a week in Colorado. It is more of a top layer waterproof jacket, so don't intent on just wearing the jacket. Just a fleece underneath ke…
