Mountain Hardwear Pinnacle Shell Jacket - Waterproof (For Men)

Nice coat except for sizing. Ordered a medium ( my size) and had to return for an extra large. Working outdoors for a living I have to wear many layers underneath ( long underwear, thick shirt and then a fleece).Unless you order a size ( or two) larger the Shell cannot accomodate this extra layering. This was surprising considered it is designed for extreme activities where layering is a common practice.

Great all weather jacket. I use it for skiing and it performs great. Wear a fleece undergarment during cold conditions and then shed the fleece for afternoon comfort and remain dry and warm. Only disadvantage is no powder skirt; otherwise, very versitile, light, and easily packable into small space for travel. Have not used the water bottle pocket yet, but it should come in handy. If you are amidst constantly changing conditions, this is a great jacket to have in your armamentarium.

Great jacket with athletic fit. Large fits my 6'1" 175 pound frame with room for layering. Finally, a coat with sleeves that cover my long monkey arms! Used on several early winter hikes and plan on using for downhill skiing. Completely waterproof and decent breathability - pit zips are great. Only 2 negatives: although the hood cinches, it is large and slightly akward when not wearing a climbing or skiing helmet. Pockets are mesh inside, so there's a risk of getting snow inside wihle accessing them. Overall though, one awesome jacket!

Warm, waterproof, breathable top layer. Size up. XL fits me perfectly, with plenty of length in the sleeves. L was too tight. I'm 6'1" at 190lbs. I always have trouble with arm length. This one is perfect for me in XL. I get a new shell each year from STP, and this one is BY FAR the best I've ever had.

Very nice jacket if your a slim guy. Not good for me I'm 6'4" and 250 lbs. with large shoulders and chest. The jacket is a very athletic fit that wouldn't allow me to layer underneath it. I also found I have another jacket I bought years and years ago from cabelas that uses the exact same material for the shell. Let me tell you that material is unbeatable and durable.

really a great shell for a great price! nice features, good pockets, nicely vented. only complaint is the helmet-ready hood. it's humongous, which is ok w a helmet on, less so for everyday usage. I tucked the visor back into the hood and it's passable. this one negative is hardly bad enough to dissuade me from wearing the jacket in heavy rain though.

Only slightly smaller than you'd expect and pockets are higher probably for use as mountaineering jacket.

Keeps you dry which is what it's intended to do. With layers, it's snug in the chest and upper arms. If you're on the size fence,I'd order larger,though the arm length is true to size. A larger size for me would bring other problems, so I'll keep this one and use it 3 season where layers are reduced. The pit zips are good ventilation-wise but you may need your gloves off to manipulate them. Hood provides quality protection. Over-all a good purchase at a discounted price.

Amazing jacket!

A little tight but will accomodate light sweater. The quality of the materials is remarkable. STP price a steal. Thank You.
