Mammut Stratus Hybrid Jacket - Soft Shell (For Men)

This jacket is the perfect blend of protection and warmth. Many jackets try to accomplish multiple jobs but fail at all of them. This one excels in all areas. Highly recommended for everything except keeping dry in a monsoon!! It is relatively durable, but may work better as an inner insulating layer if all you do is climb on rocks. Hood has plenty of room to fit my helmet in and has a well-designed system to keep it out of your eyes.

I've been using this around town for a couple weeks and have been pleased with its light weight and warmth of the pertex. The hood has great face coverage with a nice fleece patch over the zipper. Sizing is pretty good, I was looking for a little longer length than the Mtn hardwear dragon and Arcteryx gamma hoody, and the xxl is a bit longer than the dragon probably about the same as the mx hoody but I like the cut of this jacket the best. I'm 6'4" 210 and the xxl fits well, nice long sleeves and chest area. Gripes so far are minimal, the sleeves are definetely tighter fitting but stretchy enough so it's ok and could be a touch longer and would benefit from Velcro closures on the cuffs.

I have a lot of Mammut clothing and have been impressed with all of it. This jacket is no exception. I love the blend of materials. The sleeves and shoulders appear to be a bit more durable than the body of the jacket. The sleeves feel a bit too long and could use some type of velcro closure. Other than that this has been my jacket of choice when temps drop below freezing..

I needed something for winter active wear here in MT, for hiking, running, snowshoeing, skiing etc. I have hard shells, fleece, down etc, but wanted something lightwt that keeps the core warm yet is breathable. This is perfect. The softshell sleeves and shoulders allow flexibility, and they breathe. The insulated core (chest/back) keep me warm enough. The pit zips sold me...they are a must in high activity use. Quality is impeccable, though some may scoff at the left hand zipper; I got used to it quickly. The two way zipper is great...being able to zip ip from bottom to access gear, or to cool. I have worn this in 10f weather with a capilene base layer and midweight fleece, and was toasty. (I wear it as a mid layer under my down sweater if below zero). When I stop to rest, I'll throw my down sweater over it. Up to the mid 40s temp, I can wear a just light fleece or zip crewneck, and not be too hot. Nearly windproof, sheds light rain, the hood is great in the wind. LOVE IT!

this is truly a hybrid jacket. shoulders and sleeves are soft shell, and the rest is light insulation. I am glad to find a unique yet useful jacket and i look good, really really good!
