Best Fit Ever

Mountain Hardwear Pinnacle Jacket - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Pinnacle Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 12, 2008

This jacket is the best fitting jacket I have ever tried on. I am 6'1" and about 175lbs and like a close fitting jacket and this is perfect (I ordered a medium). It has a drop hem in the back and measures about 29.5". If you like your jackets slim fitting, this is your jacket. No review on the waterproofness or windproofness yet since I have not been in the elements but looks to be very good quality and I look forward to taking it out soon!

Mountain Hardwear Xenon Jacket - Men's

December 3, 2008

I am looking at the MH Pinnacle and MH Xenon jacket. Is one more breatheable or waterproof than the other? They are similar in weight, price and style. The Xenon has goretex and the Pinnacle is proprietary MH. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, is one more durable than the other?

Unbelieveably Lite and Tough...

Outdoor Research Zealot Jacket - Men's

Outdoor Research Zealot Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 22, 2008

Ok, so this is just based on first impressions--haven't taken it out for a test drive yet since it blazing hot outside without even a hint of rain BUT I will give you my first impressions and some more data not found in other reviews.

First impression quality is superb. For a jacket that feels like it weighs nothing, I really are impressed with the paclite/nylon materials used in this jacket. I don't own any OR gear (mostly gravitate towards MH, Marmot and Arteryx) but OR seems to be top notch quality. I also looked at the OR Foray jacket which was also paclite but full featured and ended up with the Zealot because I liked the fit and lightness better than the Foray. Can't speak to windproofness or waterproofness but others have in their reviews.

Speaking of fit, I am 6'1" and weigh 175 and bought a medium. It is about 31" in the rear (it is longer in the back) and about 28" in the front. I have tried it over my Marmot Superhero softshell and it feels perfect.

All in all, so far I am very impressed. I have done a lot of research via user and trade reviews and the jacket has about 90% positive feedback. The biggest complaints I have seen is lack of features (not the jacket's fault--it is a minimalist product) and waterproofness is sometimes mentioned as an issue. I will use it for a season and comment on that once I have experience with it.

Later!

I am sportin' my enduro right now. I love the simple design and sleek lines. I am not biggest fan on the wristband but it is growing on me. The description says the watch has a big face but I think it is perfect. Not too big, not too small and the price was killer. I am sold....

Nice Jacket

I just got this jacket and have not worn it outside so this is just on first impressions. Nice fit. I ordered a medium since the sizing said that it was for people 5'10" to 6'4". I am 6'1" and have a long torso. It is 29.5" long in the back and gives pretty good coverage. I am 180 lbs and the jacket fit fine with a layer or two underneath. The zipper fits snug at the neck which I like. I like the removable powder skirt. Wasn't keen on screened logo--should have been embroidered in my opinion. Nice primaloft insulation. Can't comment on breathability or waterproofness but the spec seems pretty good. Black color is nice. Velco cuffs are nice and tough. Would have prefered a drop tail hem but again the coverage is pretty good compared to similar jackets.
