“Great Hardshell for Tall Women”

“I'm 5'8", 135-140 lbs and this jacket fits me perfectly. It replaces a North Face Summit Series shell which never really fit me quite right. Most jacket sleeves and torsos are too short for me such that they ride up when I lift my arms, but not this or other Mountain Hardwear jackets. The slim fit around the hips is also great for skiing to keep the wind and snow out, particularly since it lacks a powder skirt, and the length is long enough that it doesn't ride up when bending over to buckle boots. Another great detail is the high collar. When zipped up, it can cover my nose, great for cold chairlift rides. I have gotten lots of compliments on this jacket. It is cute and feminine while still being a great technical piece. Perfect!”
