Mammut Schoeller® Manaslu Jacket - Waterproof Soft Shell (For Women)

I'm 5'4 with a short waist,with broad shoulders and chest. It fit perfectly and arms were not too long. The jacket is longer yet slightly fitted. I use the jacket with a fleece underneath and it's quite warm. its also quite stylish and i get numerous compliments in the city.

Amazingly breathable, what you'd expect from softshells as well as waterproof. Unsure if the jacket solely relies on shell treatment for this, but our experience with other schoeller products have shown them to continue to perform well. Very stylish as far as outdoor gear goes, frequently receive comments while wearing around town. Fits well, a bit tight on hips, waist/top of hip length.

I use this with a fleece for winter casual wear, love the longer fit. Have yet to test it out skiing, but am sure it'll be great!

Fit is great--enough room for a fleece if I need one. not entirely windproof, but waterproof (though high-maintenance in that regard). So lightweight I worry about how long it will last, but can't wait to wear it in the backcountry.

This is WATERPROOF. One may need to note that there is a special wash product recommended to maintain the waterproof nature of this jacket after many uses. Perhaps not recognizing that is the cause for some individuals experiences.

When I first got this jacket, I absolutely loved it. I thought it was the best rain jacket I had ever seen. The trim fit is very flattering, the hood had a nice shape, etc... BUT, my first jacket started leaking after about 3 months of use. I replaced it (thanks Sierra Design), and the new one is leaking immediately in heavy rain. Such a shame...but I need this puppy for function, not fashion.

Color is not two-toned but a solid blue-green. Want to use as a ski shell. Very high quality jacket, could use a powder skirt, good cut, feminine shape, hood: good adjustability, draw cords leave a long tail hanging though. Have not worn in conditions yet, due to ambivalence of color.

I love this jacket. I am 5'3" and I have so much trouble finding jackets where the sleeves are not too long. This jacket fits well because of the closures at the wrists. I can't wait to wear this jacket.

This really is a technically sound jacket. Waterproof part is 3 layer and very durable but not stiff. Softshell/fleece-lined part is comfortable, stretchy and not too thick or thin. The jacket would be superb for backcountry skiing. I am returning it because of two things: I ski trees a lot and the softshell material( although most likely durable enough) may easy be poked through with a stiff tree branch and secondly because the hood adjustment is a bit awkward. I wear a helmet and still had to pull the elastic pretty taught before I felt like the hood was snug enough to not get blown off by the wind...this ended up leaving long elastic tassels dangling on the outside of the jacket and I figure they might end up slapping me in the face on the way down the mountain. If you don't need a hood on most trips...the jacket would work superb. I'd imagine it to be incredibly breathable and very waterproof. I am not sure it would be very wind proof through the soft shell material though. Love the bright yellow color and the fit. I am usually small size but ordered a large in this to fit layers and it fit fantastic.
