MEC Ferrata Hoodie

Classic black and great technical fit. Canadian made, so the zipper is reversed. It's good quality stuff just like the Pamir Jacket (see the review) and offers the hood as well. Ah the hood, a marvelous creation but sometimes a little misunderstood and annoying. Good articulation and stretch, this one has handwarmer pockets and the brushed chin guard to save my beard. Yay. Handles the snow well and doesn't mine the ice either. The bicep pocket is small but, then again it's a bulkless ultralite shell for virtually everything. Schoeller Dryskin Extreme with 3XDRY, lets the jacket handle the abrasion factor. Visit www.mec.ca and look through the soft shells.
