Moonstone Sauvage Jacket

Women's Sauvage Jacket
Reviewed by mountainpete, Jul 11, 2007

"Damn durable parka. Moonstone is owned by some conglomerate now, but they used to sew these Sauvage Jackets in Arcata, CA, and charge about $450 for them. I got this on E-Bay three years ago for a hundred bucks. When it arrived, it stank of cigarette smoke, and the smoke seemed to have permeated the Gore-tex, because I washed it a dozen times, and it still stank."

"I have owned mine for eight years and it looks new to this day. Granted I only wear it climbing--ice climbing, rock, alpine and winter ascents on Colorado 14'ers.

I have shreded three pairs of bibs, one down coat, two sets of gaiters, three pairs of gloves, set of snowshoes and let's not discuss the fleece."

Men's Sauvage Jacket (1994)
Reviewed by Karl Rahder, Mar 21, 2000

"I must be the only person who owns a Sauvage and doesn't like it. This is mainly due to the fact that from the first time I was rained on (on duty on the catwalk of my fire lookout), it was clear that the DWR layer did not exist. I'm not sure how it could have worn away, but rain soaks into the Gore-tex membrane immediately."

Reviewed by Miguel Tejada-Flores, Jan 13, 1999

"A really NICELY-MADE parka. Someone once said 'the Devil is in the Details' -- and the details in this parka (as well as the detailing) are excellent. High level of craftsmanship, stitching, fabric use. Design is simple, functional, aesthetic."

Men's Sauvage Jacket (1992)
Reviewed by Luke Miller, Apr 10, 1998

"I purchased this jacket in 1992, when this model was still a pull-over. I've used it skiing in blizzards, backpacking in torrential rain, and pretty much everywhere else, and I still get asked if it's brand new. I've always found Moonstone products 'cut' very well, and this jacket is no exception."

"I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this jacket. It is durable. It is light. It is the perfect weight for 4 season backpacking and skiing. My prized article of clothing."

"Wonderful in every way. I would sleep in this if I could. I've used it as a partial bivy sac in an open bivouac at 10,000 feet up Mt. Raineer's north face. And it works great as a bivy or a jacket.

Reviewed by an anonymous hiker, Apr 30, 1996

"A tough Jjcket!! I wear it ice climbing because of its handy crotch-strap. The jacket doesn't even move. It has four pockets. Two outer pockets are out of the way of hipbelts and shoulder straps. A nice stow-away pocket as well. It has suited me well in heavy rain storms.

Overall it's got everything you need!!"
