This jacket is perfect! |

| First, let it be known I am a jacket-hound. That being said, I've got quite a few to compare this to(HH, North Face, Orage, Marmont, Arteryx etc) so when I say this jacket is perfect I mean it. It is light and easily packable. It is also perfect for keeping dry when standing next to spring thaw waterfalls in Mt. It certainly cuts the chill out of any winds, yet doesn't allow you to overheat. The side zips are unique and I could not find many jackets that offered this feature. I sweat when I'm working so being able to cool down is a plus and eliminates odor retention. Bottom line, if you are active and want a shell that can multi-purpose and look awesome at the same time then this is it. Runs small so keep that in mind. I'm borderline medium (5'9 42in chest, 33 sleeve) and had to go large on this and sleeves are about 1/2 inch to inch too long but not when my arms are extended. Thumb loops a definite plus as well. |

bomber! |

| This jacket is absolutely outstanding. It can take anything you throw at it: It laughs in the face of wind, sheds snow, rain rolls right off, and it is impervious to sharp rocks and brush. As a member a search and rescue organization in the Cascade mountains I was looking for a soft shell that could do everything... This is that jacket. enough vents to take you from a summer day in the foot hills, yet warm enough to get you up Rainier and Baker. The fabric is also completely bomber, easily handling gnarly offwidth cracks and heavy bushwhacking. It also looks good around town! |

Just right |

| This jacket provides great wind protection and water resistance. It is slim fitting which is great for climbers and alpinists. The sides unzip from the waist all the way up to half way through the arms, allowing access to pockets or a harness underneath. Layered with a mid weight, this jacket is solid for snow activities. I found the arms a little long and I don't care for thumb loops, but the material is stretchy enough I can roll them under and it is no problem. Solid jacket that needs nothing changed. |

| The Mammut hoodie is without reproach. It is the most comfortable and best quality soft shell hoodie. I tried nearly every jacket available in this genre and the Mammut stands alone. I can spend a day out around town using only one base layer. I love not have having to "on and off" a coat all day in these Colorado winters. This jacket exemplifies quality and durability. I think it will be an ideal all year jacket. |

Great rock climbing jacket |

| This is becoming my favorite cool weather jacket for rock climbing. The stretch is amazing and the hood keeps me warm at belay stations. I can easily adjust the hood over a helmet. It breathes well and we'll see how long it lasts, I just got it this fall. |

A true climbers jacket! |

| I was using Marmot's Super Hero jacket but on a whim decided to buy the Ultimate Hoody. It's $75 less and in my opinion, you get a lot more for less. It's lighter, more form fitting, and the hood is perfect. I'm 5'10/170# and the large fits great. |

| i am extremely impressed by the breathability of the ultimate hoody, love the windstopper feature and the stretch the jacket offers, and I am happy with the fit. The fire red is awesome and the material is amazingly soft but resilient. |

great light softshell wind stopper! |
| Rating: | |
| This softshell windstopper is a great looking, great wearing jacket! lots of style and not too warm when the days are 50's-60's, and warm enough as a softshell with a sweatshirt underneath for evenings in the 40's. |

great lightweight jacket |
| Rating: | |
| This hoody is a perfect layering piece or lightweight jacket on it's own. I ordered the XL which was a little more fitted through the waist than a traditional XL |
