User Review: Mountain Hardwear Compressor PL Jacket

Mountain Hardwear Compressor PL Jacket
Above: The current Compressor PL Jacket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Reviewed January 1, 2008 by Gideon Rettich

Rating: rated 0 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $150

I bought this jacket thinking and assured by EMS staff that it was high quality. Well, it's not. It is marketed as a rugged lightweight piece but it's not.

The jacket now has several small tears - I never even hiked in it. Also, the zipper used is about as cheap as it gets. It has no space on either side and continuously gets stuck risking further tearing.

I contacted Mountain Hardwear. They said "wow, you're really lucky you didn't buy the down filled version or you'd really be in trouble." Lastly, they offered to repair the torn panels for an additional $35 plus return shipping.

Thumbs down on the product and the service.
