Mountain Hardwear Lhotse Parka - Waterproof (For Women)

I liked the jacket, but it was too tight in the hips and the shoulders had a manly cut to them.

Everything about this parka is great except for the fit. It is too tight, restricting movement.

Great coat! Am very pleased with my purchase. Seems to run a bit small, especially with having the lining that keeps the snow out. Is a little restricted because of this feature, but overall I do like the coat.

Just started using it but love it so far.

The sleeves are long on the coat, but that is a good thing. They really aren't so long that they interfere with using the coat, but do make sure that your wrists are warm. I am 5'4" and medium build, and the medium fits good on me. It has been doing great in both snow, blizzard conditions, and freezing rain. Warm but not too warm, plenty of room for bulky sweaters, but it is not a puffy jacket.

I loved this jacket, but unfortunately will be returning it. The jacket is too tight on my hips. I ordered a Medium, which fits perfectly at my chest, but is unfortunately too tight through my hips. If you have a Large, I'd love to exchange it, but it makes me so sad b/c it appears all you have left are XS. I finally find a jacket I LOVE and you don't have the right size left.

My first real winter parka! Very pleased with the coat. Glad I went with medium, I'm a small for almost everything, but with coats I like to have room. I studied all the reviews on this coat, hesitated when saw the long sleeves con remarks, I do find them to be slightly long but this helps with the great range of motion in the shoulders and back - something I've never felt in a coat before. No tugging or restriction anywhere.I could wear this coat in Yoga class! No problem with the hips for my body type - narrow. Took me a few minutes to understand all the pulls, interior skirt may not be necessary for me. Excellent construction and zippers etc.

i love mountain hardware. this jacket runs a little bigger that their other gear i own but i tried the next smaller size and that was too small

I can't wait to try it out skiing. What a great jacket, very warm and comfortable

Mountain Hardware is cut perfectly for tall women. I have a devil of a time finding jackets and this is the first women's technical jacket I have kept. While others may complain about the long sleeves, I am in heaven. The pit zips are well-designed, no mesh to get caught in the zipper. Waterproofing is very good - I've worn it in rain/snow/sleet while skiing. The hood has a great cinch - those who say it is too big haven't tried the cinch yet - and gives you good sightlines and visor.
