Reviewed by Mategarza from Monterrey, Mexico on Wednesday, April 17, 2013This was a great purchase used it for skiing, first time with dry q and I wasn't disapointed. MH runs a size small if your M you should get L but its almost with all their products. Never got wet, it let me breathe, didn' t use many layers even though we were -4 F. The color is great for being located by your friends and it looks cool. I would recomend this to anyoune.

Reviewed by Kayaker from Bismarck, ND on Sunday, December 02, 2012Plan to use this jacket for kayak touring. The price beats a dry top if a person doesn't need or plan on kayak rolling.

Reviewed by HCRiceBoy21 from Sparta, NJ on Sunday, February 26, 2012This jacket appears to be awsome. I haven't used it yet, that's why I only gave it 4 stars. However it appears to have the usual Mountain Hardwear quality. I can't wait to test out the DryQ membarane. I promised myself that when I had to buy a new shell jacket it would have the eVent membrane (Mountain Hardwear uses the same waterproof breathable membrane but uses differnt backer fabrics and glues and gave it there own name) Hopefully it serves me well.
- Best Uses: Backpacking, Mountaineering
- Pros: Compact, Light

Reviewed by Middle Aged Backpacker from Cincinnati, OH on Wednesday, February 22, 2012This is very well built jacket, and I hated to return it, but it runs too trim. With the right length and sleeves, the body was too snug for anything more than a baselayer shirt. I could not wear it with even a light fleece pullover. Now I'm not the trimmest of guys anymore, but I am 5'7" and only 145 lbs, so I am far from overweight.
- Best Uses: Light mountaineering
- Cons: Runs extremely trim
- Pros: Excellent construction, Great Hood Design

Reviewed by jump the frogger from albany, ny on Thursday, January 19, 2012This is a bomber jacket at a great price ([$], on sale. A large was too small for me (I'm 6', 170 lbs) and I sent it back for an XL. The waterproofness is MH's own version of Gore-Tex, which is supposed to be good. The other thing I didn't like about this is the main zipper is very stiff. It's not a deal-breaker, and I'm hoping it'll ease up with time. Otherwise it seems bombproof.
