User Review: Mountain Hardwear Torch Jacket
|
Rating: 
Price Paid: $280
Not a big fan. I purchased a medium size - I'm a 5'9" European climbers' build at around 75kg.
The jacket stopped "beading" in the wet just a couple months after wear, although the stitching and all still holds strong now 3 years after purchase.
I see it as a bit of a more wannabe piece mountain weather wear. Sure the wind ain't getting through, but it's useless and getting damp within when challenged by even a little wet snow or rain.
In short, may perform well for a year or so, but that's about it. Sadly, reapplying over the counter soft shell treatments did not help the cause.
