"This is a fantastic shell. I bought it before going on a ski trip to Vail in in the middle of a record snowfall winter, and it performed wonderfully over my Mountain Hardwear Compression PL.

PROS:
Very solid construction, I have complete confidence that in rough conditions this shell would hold up well and not rip easily."

"If Mountain Hardwear's goal was to make an inexpensive jacket for all conditions, they succeeded. I have taken mine all over Europe, eastern US, perfect for all seasons. It keeps me warm when it's cold and doesn't make me sweat when it's not so cold."

"This jacket is great. I got it mainly as a ski jacket, but it proves to be good for just about anything. I'll take it winter hiking or backpacking, and it works fine. It's just a bit heavy, but it was not designed as a backpacking jacket. It is also great just around town."
