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 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: softshell
Price Paid: $129

This is the most versatile jacket I've ever worn. It IS waterproof, wicks very well, is very tear-resistant, moves with you beautifully, and blocks wind. With a wicking T-shirt and a light fleece underneath, I've kept it on while huffing uphill in the trees, walking across windswept, sub-zero ridges, and then climbing wet ice all on the same trip with no clothing changes, just some zipping and unzipping.

One of the nicest things was that I could drop my pack
in the snow up high after a warm hike w/o freezing my back in the wind, have a snack or whatever, and start again feeling dry and warm the whole time.

I didn't know there was a hooded model when I bought mine, the sale I caught was too good to be true anyway, but I'd like a hood.
