Mountain Hardwear Exposure II Parka - Men's

"the name says it all... This jacket needs to be part of your "Mountain Hardware". The fit and feel of this jacket are second to none. The exterior fabric stays supple in the coldest temperatures I've come across(-40) and breathes well even in warm spring rains. At 6'4, 235, with a 6'9 armspan, most jackets tend to ride up in the sleeve, and bind at the shoulder- even in XXL. Mountain hardware obviously understands that those of us who engage in the more extreme pursuits of life are not built like mere mortals! If held at gun point I'm sure I could dance like Michael Jackson on speed. Plenty of pocket space to store stuff, interior pocket for Nalgene style bottles, keeps 'em un-froze,and the drawcords can suck this jacket up to you like a body condom when on an exposed big wall. I rely on this jacket routinely, and will continue to try to find a weakness. "

" Exposure II Parka Mountain Hardware After receiving my MHW jacket we were dumped 18 ft. of snow in three weeks in the Lake Tahoe region. I truly feel I could not have chosen a better jacket to survive and enjoy the elements in. "

" Great all around jacket Great all around jacket. Very versatile and warm. Pockets are in very accessable places and are numerous. Great for skiing, hiking, or just going to a game. "

" Mountain Hardwear delivers as promised Mountain Hardwear once again proves that they are more interested in delivering a high quality, good looking product at a reasonable price, than being the trendy must have gimmick gear for the season. The Exposure II jacket, just like the complete Mountain Hardwear product line, is absolutely worth every cent! The design and cut of the shell shows considerable forethought and planning, with the pockets just where you want them and the hood fits just right which can be a challenge. The fit and finish is top notch. The dobby weave outer shell is a little noisy as are all outers of this type (it will quite down as it wears in) but what you get in trade is a thoroughly robust material. The Conduit layer works just as good if not better that the other breathable layers. Possibly its best feature is that it is a true 3-season piece of gear. You decide what layers to wear beneath it based on the conditions. It is a bit of over kill as a rain jacket, but hey it does the job really well. I would feel comfortable taking it on almost any activity shy of an accent of Everest. Absolutely wind-proof and waterproof with all the features you could ask for. The best advice I can give is. If you are considering this product dont waste any more time just get it, you will not be disappointed."

" Great Jacket ! This jacket is really comfortable. The pockets are easy to reach. Snow or rain, it handle really well. You won't look for another jacket at this rate once you own one."
