Mountain Hardwear Womanticore Jacket - Soft Shell (For Women)

I love the look of the jacket, but it is a little short (I expected that, given the length posted on the web site). I have the matching fleece liner to wear under it.

This is an incredible value from one of the best technical wear companies out there. Unbeatable quality and workmanship and even stylish. The performance is great.

I love this jacket - it is perfect - I prefer to hike in the rain and I can go out all day, off trail, brushing against leaves and not get wet and not have perspiration build-up in the shoulders or anywhere else; the venting is great! The hood and sleeves are well thought-out. Very well made. I highly recommend this to anyone who spends a lot of time outside and doesn't want to let a little or a lot of rain get in the way!

I got it in a Medium. The small would probally have fit but the medium gives me room to move and layer. I have been wearing as a rain coat while I bike to school. I have not been cold in it yet! The hood closes up nicely around my neck, and face.

I usually wear mediums, but I got the large, which was a good choice. I like the long sleeves so I can "turtle" my hands inside, or cover my wrists while biking. I wish it had a mesh lining because in cool weather the fabric transmits the cold and in warm weather it transmits the heat. The front pockets are too small and too high, so if you put anything in them you look pregnant. Even so, overall it is attractive. Some of the design flaws are compensated for by the fact that it looks good.

THIS JACKET DOES RUN LARGE,THAT IS WHY THEY STATE RELAXED FIT.IT IS REALLY GREAT THAT I HAVE THE OTHER COMMENTS TO HELP ME PICK THE RIGHT SIZE,I ORDERED SMALLER AND IT FITS GREAT! REALLY BLOCKS THE WIND. AND LOOKS FAB ON!

remember this is relaxed fit,i usually take XL,but thanks to the reviews got a large and it fits very good.this jacket is pretty, tough,and comfortable.i recommend.

I bought this jacket last summer for late fall, winter, and spring outdoor activities. It really delivers! I've used it as a rain coat, windbreaker, and a top layer to my Mtn HW Flip jacket. It breaths really well, and has arm pit zippers if you need a little extra ventilation. I only wish the hood was a bit bigger for my activities that require a lot of moving around. It does restrict my head movement a little bit, but I don't use it much so it's not really a "con" for me. I love the style of the jacket. It's cute and sporty. It totally fits my "Outdoor girl" style!

I marked this jacket as "true to length" for the sleeves for me. I am tall with long arms and the sleeves on the size M jacket are plenty long. They may be too long for others. The only thing I'd recommend Mountain Hardware change is to make the hood bigger. It is just a little bit on the skimpy side for me.

I bought this jacket to wear as a top layer when hiking in extreme conditions (climbing Mt Adams, Mt Rainier in Summer). It was warm and waterproof. The weight is like a heavy rain jacket, with the matt appearance of a soft shell. Lots of well placed pockets and pit zips that work great with a backpack. Jacket is very contoured around waist and roomy through Shoulders. It's a flattering cut, but may be a problem if you're heavy around the middle.
