In 1993, a small group of people who had weathered years in the outdoor industry decided to get together and form Mountain Hardwear. In addition to working in the outdoor industry, the Mountain Hardwear founders were avid outdoors people themselves Mountain Hardwear has always focused on bringing radical thinking to the gear they make. That's why they have a section in our website that talks about the innovation they've built into their products.

| I work at a personal training studio So this is great for layering on .The con I would say ,since the vest is down filled I at times lose some feathers behind from sitting in the driver seat. | |

sizing chart off... | |
| Rating: |  |
| I was torn between this vest and one of the North Face vests but was swayed to this one because I love the company and their product, and also because online reviews gave hints to a roomy fit. Most posts said that the vest ran big and that they were able to layer well with it. I usually take a size L (my other MHW coats are a L) but figured I'd size up for sweaters and light fleece layers. I was ecstatic when it finally arrived, but really disappointed to see that the XL did not fit the way I had expected AT ALL. With a light fleece on, it was tight at the hips and bust and rides up. Quite frankly, I felt that the North Face size L had a much better fit than the supposedly roomier Mountain Hardware XL. Perhaps the online sizing guide needs adjusting for this coat as I definitely fit well under the specs of an XL, and the size leaves a lot to be desired. Otherwise the coat looks splendid- nice warm fleece lining, nice cut to the vest, etc. Unfortunately I can't tell you how warm it really is since I can't seem to fit my sweater underneath the vest. | |

Poor quality - poor design | |

| I ordered this vest to replace an older sub-zero vest. I received this vest and found the quality lacking, the design was poorly done, and the down does not even "fluff up". The quality of products by MH have gone downhill! I am returning this item as soon as the post office opens. I doubt this item would keep me warm snowshoeing much less around my home. | |

Ok vest | |
| Rating: |  |
| I had high hopes when I bought this vest, I had selected it over an Eddie Bauer vest because I thought the brand was really good, however, when I got the vest it was much thinner than I thought it would be, compared to the Eddie Bauer one I was thinking about getting. I got the medium, which is a tad on the big side, and in the bran color, I really like the color, which is darker than shown. Overall, I think this vest is over-priced. Thinking about returning it and going with another brand. | |
