Mountain Hardwear Backstage Jacket - Soft Shell (For Women)

The jacket is so versitle, it great for almost every season except the heat of a mid summers day. It's style is nice enough that it is not only good for a cool morning hike, but also to keep you warm on a cool summer evening out after getting sun kissed while kayaking that day.

I got this jacket for a longish bike commute (+10 miles each way). This jacket is good because (in the green) it's highly visible, the sleeves are actually long enough to cover my wrists, and there are enough pockets that it's no problem find a place for my ipod (and listen to This American Life). Right now it's a little early for this jacket, I think. The temps have been between 50-60; I think I'll probably wait to use it when it drops another ten degrees. I'm just a tad bit over-warm on arrival. Perhaps I'll try a lighter base layer. For walking around outside, it's great. It's stylish, wicks water without any trouble, and the fleece inside is extremely comfy. I would most definitely recommend it.

The first thing I liked about the coat was the color. I got the green shade. The second thing I liked was the warm lining and the sleeves. The sleeves are long enough to cover your wrists and the elastic band is not tight or restricting. The only thing I don't like is minor, the shell material is a bit noisy when you move. Overall, I love my new coat.

Although warm when it needs to be, this jacket is very light weight and easy to wear and pack.

the jacket is light and look smart. but the conduit layer is too thin.
