User Review: Mountain Hardwear Synchro Jacket

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

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Fabric: Conduit Softshell

This is a follow-up to a prior review for the same item. The 3-star rating is intended to offset the prior 5-star rating down to an average of 4-stars.

I'm downgrading my review of the Synchro because I'm noticing that the face fabric is not as durable as I would like. It is pilling on the torso under my arms from the shoulder straps of a hydration pack that I use when skiing. There is no obvious abrasive material on the shoulder straps of the Camelbak SnoBlast, so I'm a little disappointed.

It could very well be a case of the jacket manifesting its original design intention (ice climbing), as people generally don't wear packs of any kind when ice climbing.

Nonetheless, all the positive attributes of the jacket remain as said in my first review.
