| The Mountain Hardwear WindStopper Tech Jacket, by now a classic, is the windproof piece you need for touring, track skiing, mountaineering, or whatever high-output sport you do in winter. Its totally windproof Gore WindStopper membrane keeps you warm with little weight relative to other fleece jackets, and has a huge comfort range due to its excellent breathability. As you make your final push for the peak, breaking a sweat, a moisture-managing mesh lining helps to keep you dry on the inside. With other features like extra-long pit zips for extra venting, zippered hand and security pockets, and reinforcements in high-abrasion areas, the WindStopper Tech will quickly become one of your indispensable jackets. When the snow comes, use it as a midlayer and throw a shell on over it. |

Mountain Hardware rules!
What an awesome jacket! Significantly warmer then my North Face Denali jacket in all conditions - wind or no wind - rain or shine - with far less weight and bulk. Tons of great features like sewn (not tied) zipper pulls. Kudos to Mountain Hardware!
Actually worth the price
I searched on the internet to find one on sale for over 2 months. Daily. Obsessively. Couldn't do it. There's a good reason they never go on sale. This product actually works as advertised-not of it's hype. I stay comfortably warm in class, then do a freezing blitz on my bike and I'm warm. It is a lot less bulky, too. I couldn't be happer with it. Kritios Boy is warm now. P.S. It looks really, really cool.
Awesome Jacket
I can not say enough about this jacket. It fits perfectly, it is light yet warm. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing this jacket.A++
Worth every penny
The best fitting jacket I've ever owned. Remarkable abrasion resistence combined with decent breathability, even when moving fast. The extra long pit zips are a major plus and really help push the comfort range. Form-fitted athletic cut is superior to any other garmet I've worn. Windstopper fabric helps save on convective heat loss. This jacket is warmer overall than my 300 weight fleece and much lighter. Tempereature range can be pushed much lower with a thin underlayer. Also, this jacket has style! If you're going to pay designer prices, may as well get an indestuctable jacket with function and a lifetime warranty.
Windstopper Tech Jacket
While on a winter backpacking trip in the Smoky Mountains, I became frustrated at how poorly my generic fleece jacket performed under the various temperatures and precipitation changes that are typical for backpacking. After hours of being either too hot or too cold, I realized the functional beauty of the wind resistant fleece jacket. The Windstopper Tech Jacket is great because it is so versatile. Whatever the weather, you can use layers with the jacket to fit your activity. If you get too hot, you can unzip the front. If you get really hot, you can unzip two more slots under the arms. If you are still hot, you can take the jacket off! With reinforced shoulders and forearms, this jacket was designed with active people in mind. One of my favorite features is the number of zippered pockets. With all the stuff you have to keep handy while outdoors, it is so nice to be able to zip up your car keys or compass and not worry about it losing it. The zippers have long pulls so that zipping and unzipping is super-easy.My only complaint is that the logo is huge. Bottom-line: If you want a versatile and function-oriented jacket, the Windstopper Tech Jacket is worth the money.
