Mountain Hardwear Men's Compressor Jacket

Mountain Hardwear Men's Compressor Jacket

Designed for Alpine adventurers, the Mountain Hardwear Men's Compressor Jacket has a superior warmth-to-weight ratio and is, as its name implies, highly compressible. Made from lightweight 20D nylon ripstop fabric, this water-resistant mountain jacket uses Thermic Micro synthetic insulation to keep you toasty warm. The underarm side panels are thinner to reduce bulk and aid ventilation where you need it. This coat is perfect as a warm layer on an ultralight backpacking trip in the Kings Canyon backcountry or as a mid layer under a waterproof winter jacket on a telemark ski tour of the Eastern Sierras. Elastic cuffs and drawcords at the neck and waist help seal in body heat and the Micro-Chamois-lined chin guard gives you something soft to burrow down into when the temperatures drop. They lined the 2 front zippered pockets with fleece because even ultralighters like a warm, fuzzy place to tuck their cold hands. Offered in classic colors that will get an appreciative nod from gear heads and girlfriends everywhere, the Mountain Hardwear Compressor Jacket for men is a lightweight favorite for unrestricted versatility at high elevations.

Great Jacket
I use this jacket for hiking and hunting and it works perfect for both. The jacket is not real heavy but insulates very well and does not have a lot of bulk which allows for a good range of motion. This is another quality product by Mountain Hardware.

very nice jacket,but need to upsize
I just ordered this jacket and I love it ,its a really nice jacket with nice feel and look,very good looking jacket,but it was a little small to size from my usual size,so I gave this one to my girlfriend,and I am ordering two more in the next size up,one in black and one in blue,thats how much I like this jacket,I am 5 foot 10 210 lbs and large is my normal size,but this jacket was a little tight across my shoulders in the back,so Im ordering the extra large for the next two ,it should be perfect

Remarkably Warm
I love this jacket. This is the second PL Compressor jacket I've purchased and not because the other one is worn out. I've worn my first one so much my wife begged me to get another one, in another color, so that I would have a backup or so it could get cleaned. It is so surprisingly warm for how incredibly thin and light it is.

Bought this because my father-in-law, a backpacking outfitter in the Northwest, has had one for years that he loves. I wore it around the last time I was out to visit, so I knew a I knew it would fit and perform well.
