"I've owned this jacket for about a little over two years now. I purchased it on sale from an outdoor/outfitter shop in Altamonte Springs, Fla. , just outside of Orlando. Mine is sage and dark grey in color.

So far the jacket has been great. I took it on a few Spring season hikes here in Santa Barbara County, CA, and it worked out well."

"I don't know about the other guy who said this jacket fits oddly... I'm 6'6" and the jacket (Large) is long enough for me. I do wish that the snow skirt zipped out, but the range of motion and breathablity are excellent."

"I bought this jacket a little impulsively and regret it now. Main complaint--the jacket is tight when layering. I have spoken to others and it seems MH gear is tuned for super skinny people. I'm 6'2", 210 and the XL feels tight especially across the chest when layered with a fleece. The tail is short as well.

Nice jacket, just not a great fit for me."

"I skied an entire season of backcountry in this jacket and it was great. I love that it has water-tight zippers on the pockets but not on the main zipper (they're too stiff to use frequently). I also love that it doesn't have any stupid bulky velcro on the front zipper area."

"I received this jacket from an online shop recently and thought I'd share my thoughts.

The Recon is a solid jacket for $125. 00. DEFINATELY can't go wrong for the price. The jacket weighs just under 1. 5 pounds in a men's medium size. The welded radio pocket is something that I will use often, but can see how many people may feel that its a waste of fabric."
