Get ready to explore new terrain with the Mountain Hardwear Women's Cohesion Stretch Jacket. In addition to its waterproof breathable membrane, this jacket also features a stretchy shell fabric for enhanced mobility and an athletic feel.
Conduit DT membrane allows sweat and water vapor to evaporate away from your skin and prevents external precipitation from passing through
Underarm zip vents help shed excess warmth during ascents
Helmet-compatible hood lets you use the jacket for climbing or spring skiing
Good rain jacket. Flattering cut. Keeps me totally dry. It is just a shell and not real roomy for layering though (I've got a small build and ordered a size small). So it hasn't been getting a ton of use during these cold, windy, rainy days here in Seattle. But expect to wear it more as it warms up later in the year.
What kind of length does this jacket have? I am tired of having
What kind of length does this jacket have? I am tired of having to buy women's jackets that are too short or sit right at the waistline. I would like to keep at least part of my butt dry as well.
5'5" 112 lbs, 32B. Got XS. If I wanted to layer more than a mid weight fleece or something with a hood, a small might be better. I think you would describe this as hitting at the hip. The XS hits me a good bit below the waist. Don't expect "butt coverage", at least not in an XS, unless you are under 5'. It is cut slim but with good room through the shoulders and upper back. Mountain Hardwear women's stuff tends to run a bit smaller than most outdoor brands. Slimmer cuter lines. Compared with similar products, I would not call this jacket short...or long. The Stretch cohesion pants rock too. Very fitted compared with similar pants with an attached clip belt. I got the XS and they are none too big. Rain pants that look good? Yes.
After seeing my boyfriend's new Mountain Hardware jacket and starting to feel the weather coming through the 10-year-old North Face I decided it was time for a new jacket. Saw this pop up on S&C and snagged it. Holy cow, it's amazing! I never imagined that my old jacket was actually hindering my performance but now I do. Talk about freedom of movement. This thing is so comfy!!! Skied a full day in some gnarly rain and wind and my upper body was PERFECTLY dry and warm. Did some bootpacking and very technical skiing last weekend and, even without opening the vents, I was comfy on the way up and down - no sweatyness on the up or chilliness on the down. I usually keep my hood down, but I do like this over-helmet fit. It definitely helps in the crazy weather. My only complaint is that when going fast it seems to catch air and get tight around the throat. Going fast + can't breath = no good. There is an adjustment so maybe I just need to fix that. Pockets are good-sized and the waterproof zippers work pretty well. No weird seams rubbing under a big pack. SUPER light and packable. I got my standard top size and it fits perfectly, not baggy but plenty of room for layers. The red/pink on the black is way nicer in person. I'm not a pink person but the vibrant dark-pink pop is nice on a plain black shell. Very well made and, despite the light weight, it seems durable. Only time will tell of course. Buy it! This is a great deal on a smokin' jacket.
somewhere, in the Stretch Cohesion, I believe the waterproof/breathability should be very similar between the DryQ Core and Conduit DT. Like the name suggests, the new Cohesion has some built in stretch. I have the Stretch Cohesion and wear it in the winter mostly, trekking and skiing, and like it alot. I find it a bit air permeable on super windy days, which I like for keeping me drier.
This is the only jacket I've worn so far that doesn't feel like a trash bag. It really is breathable. I wasn't sure how much the stretchiness of the jacket would make a difference but it is so much more comfortable this way! I couldn't find any info about the zipper when I ordered and was more than stoked when my jacket arrived and I discovered the double zipper! Being able to unzip this jacket from the bottom makes wearing a harness 100x more comfortable. The hood really is totally adjustable and fits over a helmet. I got the red one; it is just a little darker in the Backcountry pic. I'm 5'7" 145 lbs athletic fit and the Large fits perfect. Enough room to layer but not so much room it looks like a big red bag. Haven't worn this jacket in the rain yet. I live in Eugene, OR and am really hoping it pulls through for me during the next wet week...I'll update this then.
Not suitable for cold winter climes. The cold wind will come through this. Mediterranean winters, maybe. Sleek cut with stretch. Not cut well for heavy layers underneath. Fitted mid weight fleece and fitted down sweater vest max. This is primarily a cool weather rain jacket. For cold weather shells, look for 3 layer Goretex or similar. They will likely weigh nearly twice as much as this.
This is a shell, so on it's own it will not be alll that warm. Like any technical shell, it is designed to be worn with layers - think a fleece, light down parka or other garment. You add layers as things get cold. But, if you want a stand alone winter jacket look for something that has insulation.
Love the jacket, not excited it's almost 40 bucks cheaper than when I bought it about a month ago. But it's still alot cheaper than from MH directly. It moves with you and still keeps you dry. Also tucks tightly in a pack, doesn't take up much space or weight. Fits true to size, but does have really long sleeves, so short arm-ers beware. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.
