Mammut Alto Soft Shell Jacket (For Men)

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this jacket. Durable, sheds snow, wind and some rain well. Lots of useful pockets, all of which have smooth zippers. Ditto for the main zipper, despite the "unisex" design (really, why not make this universal). I WILL buy Mammut again, and may pick up another one of these if I can provide myself with enough justification. The cut is not slim/small like many European makes; more like North American.

As with a few soft shells, the size cut is small. Also, the pockets are too bulky in the mid area. I returned it.

Impressive quality, but it needed several days outside to "de-stink". Am hoping this doesn't indicate a coating that may be un-safe. Just enough warmth to take the edge off a cold, wet breeze.

very satisfied with this Mammut soft-shell jacket

I purchased this jacket to replace a "warm-up" jacket from an on-line retailer, who shall remain nameless. As with all Mammut items that I own, the quality and fabric are excellent. That the sleeves are way too long is also a "trademark" of Mammut - the velcro wrist tab helps mitigate that problem. Other reviewers have indicated the sizing runs large - apparently I prefer a looser fit because I ordered a large, and normally wear a medium (already knew I preferred large from Mammut). Contrary to the product description, I could find NO interior pockets (otherwise rating would have been 5 star). There is also something strange in the photo of the jacket - it shows the arm pocket on the right arm. The pocket is on the left arm on mine. The photo is not reversed because the Mammut label is on the right side of the chest. Weird.
