Mammut Castor Jacket
Above: The current Castor Jacket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: Schoeller
Price Paid: $160 (Sierra Trading Post)

I'd been wanting this jacket ever since I saw it at Sierra Trading Post. I'm 5'8", 145 lbs. and a meduim is just the right size. It fits more snugly than a hard shell, which is quite comfortable, tapering slightly at the waist but very simple overall.

Fit and finish are excellent, with nice touches like soft fabric for the chin when bundled up. Zippers are watertight and open/close easily. Zipper "tails" stand out nicely and are easy to find with gloves on. Hood is excellent - very well fit and highly adjustable.

Jacket feels light, with Schoeller fabric and shoulder reinforcement patches. Length is good for a climbing harness and shoulders articulate well for reaching over the head. Breathability is seems excellent, as is wind proofness. All in all an excellent jacket!
