Mammut Makalu Jacket - Waterproof (For Men)

I thought it would be warmer and not so much just a shell. I returned it but still a beautiful jacket, just not what I was looking for. I would say that it ran large, probably good for lots of layers underneath. I also had hoped the hood was removable but it was not.

This jacket is just as described. It is very lightweight, seems to be waterproof(to be proven)and well made. I am 5'13'', 220 lbs. and the 2XL fits perfectly; leaving plenty of room for a fleece layer, which you'll need for cold conditions. One problem I have with this garment is: The left handed zipper jams on the rubber membrane behind it. I have jackets made by other respectable names like: Mountain Hardwear and The North Face and zippers just seem to be a temperamental issue, especially when attempting to keep out H2O. Don't let this keep you from buying this jacket. well worth the price! Sierra Trading Post is the best place to shop! The more you buy, the more you save, which leaves you better equipped and not dead in our great outdoors.

This is a nice, stylish jacket, but much thinner than I anticpated.

Love the design, but may return it, the zipper was hard to get started, then I got used to it, but now it is sticking in the middle of the jacket. Will give it another outing, anymore probs and back it goes.

High quality shell and tremendously warm and comfortable with proper layers beneath. The fit and fabric are top quality. Love the deep functional venting pockets, unlike some of the high shallow pockets on other technical shells I own. One small observation along with the minor zipper issues mentioned in other reviews - the pictures show a vented collar to breathe through. The jacket I received has no vent holes, just a very high collar. Not a huge issue, but one of the reasons I ordered this coat. Too nice all-around otherwise to send back. The zipper is not a reason not to buy this, it just sticks from time to time and can be avoided as you get used to positioning the inside flap material. I really am finding this to be a new favorite. Dry tech fabric feels better than pro shell though durability has not yet been put through an Adirondack bushwhack.
