User Review: Mountain Hardwear Exposure Parka

Reviewed February 9, 2000 by Deechee

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: 2-Ply Gore Tex
Price Paid: $300 Cdn

I got this jacket on sale during the fall and have been wearing it since. Easily made comfortable from 0 to -20C. And the waterproofness has yet to fail. Two things that bother me:

I seem to get the fleece lined chin flap caught on the main zipper of the jacket a little too easily, (really annoying when it's getting cold and you're wearing big gloves - I fix it by ironing the flap once in a while) and, I find the water bottle pocket too big. I mean I don't really feel like lugging a 1 litre nalgene with me - anything smaller just floats around the fidgity pocket.

BUT: I love the gargantuan wrist velcro straps, super easy to tighten and ease up, and the hood is really manageable. And to those who complained about weight, well, it feels good knowing you're wearing a heavy duty jacket. TNF Mountain Light jackets seemed waaay to flimsy when I was looking for jackets. This Hardwear feels rough, and you know it'll take a beating. I treat it like sh*t and it keeps on looking good.

Highly recommend this baby...Hardwear RULEZ.
