Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"When the pace has been brisk to reach the summit crest, the Mammut Ultimate Jacket for men keeps you protected while you take a well-earned break in a chilling wind. Closing the underarm 2-way zip vent, the Gore Windstopper Soft Shell cuts the wind, holds heat in, and continues to expel excess moisture. Zipping up the high collar with soft chin protection and locking in the thumb loops at the sleeve ends, it's time to retrieve some quick energy from the Napoleon breast pocket before tackling the summit ridge. Extremely water and wind resistant, the contoured fit, stretchable mid-layer Mammut Ultimate Jacket is easily the go to piece on all of your mountaineering, and backcountry adventures."

"This is an excellent soft shell for hiking, climbing, or biking. It has an excellent fit, but does run on the small size. I'm 5'10" 190 lb and usually wear a medium to large, but had to get an XL in in this jacket. The thumb loops are really nice and the jacket overall is extremely comfortable."

Men's Ultimate Jacket

"I had been shopping softshells for a while when I came across the Ultimate. I have been out on cool mornings that turned into hot days and only took the jacket off when I realized I was the only one still wearing mine. The pit zips go all the way to the waist and allow for as much breathability as you want."
