Mammut Ultimate Windstopper® Jacket - Soft Shell (For Women)

This is an excellent jacket for any outdoor activity in cool-cold weather!Windproof,and just about waterproof(barely damp after 45 min in the rain & even so- it dried fast)!Mammut got every little detail right-Love the full side/underarm zips for ventilation! Not to mention the 2way zipper,thumb holes,and adjustable hood with peripheral vision.So far,I've worn this in 20 degree&damp weather with a heavyweight(320gr)merino baselayer under without feeling a chill. I can also see myself using in the spring/summer due to the awesome ventilation options. As for fit- the med.fit exactly true to size for me with room for layers(athletic 5'7" 140lbs,bust,waist hip= 35.5-28-37 usual size6-8).However, I noticed some reviews said it ran small, & I guess if I were blessed with a lil more in the bust area, this might be snug thru the chest,but depending on style,I'm 34B/36A and I have plenty of room for thick layers underneath in a med. And even though it has room for layers, this jacket is still flattering. The cut of it is tailored well without restricting. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this purchase and I highly recommend it!-hope this helps

This jacket is great to wear for a day of hiking up a peak or shopping in town. It's stylish and breathable with the pitzips. It doesn't restrict movement and loose enough to add a base layer for a cold day. I'm not a fan of thumb holes in general but these are designed that when not in use the skin is still protected.

This jacket does it ALL! Very warm, much more so than it looks and feels. Very lightweight. I have used for hiking, snowshoeing and plan to use to cross country skiing, biking and running. I bought the purple one and love the color. Some of the reviews said the jacket ran small but I found it to be true to size.

This is my second review after a trip to New Zealand. I wore this almost every day, and it was fabulous. The pit zips seem extreme, but are brilliant! The hood was great for windy hikes over my wool beanie. The thumb holes were very useful for my much shorter than avg arms (if you have normal arms they won't work for you). It kept me dry inside my waterproof breathable jacket when hiking during an all day downpour (all the sweat/condensation stayed on the outside of this jacket). I was able to comfortably get a primaloft layer underneath for chilly mornings and windy peaks in my normal size (I am generally an 8 in jackets and got this in a medium).Loved it! Best gear purchase ever (or close to it)

The best hiking softshell that I've ever found! I use this as my outer layer for winter hiking over just a base layer top. It's extremely lightweight and has full 2-way underarm pit zips for maximum ventilation. I also love the hood and thumb loops. The fit is not too tight, but fairly athletic and good for layering. It folds up small in my pack and weighs about half as much as most other softshell jackets.
