You’ve been jumping in alpine lakes, scrambling up trailside boulders, and generally having a grand ol’ time in the Marmot Men’s Verde Short, but your trail buddy hasn’t been so lucky. You told him that corduroy cut-offs weren’t the best call, but he didn’t listen, and now he’s gonna spend the next 30 miles wishing he had something as stretchy, quick-drying, and comfy as the Verde.
When you’re taking on the Bugaboos, the last thing you want to be worried about is your jacket. So throw on the Mountain Hardwear Men’s Touren Hooded Jacket and focus on the climbing. Built with a reliable and stretchy Polartec Power Shield shell, this jacket offers warmth that moves with you as you climb. The harness and pack compatible pockets add extra storage for snacks or maps within reach during your expedition. The Touren was designed to be sleek enough to fit under your alpine shells or to slip the hood under a helmet so you can stay warm and protected anywhere on your route.
Mr. energy’s extreme energizing equipment yeah what we’re looking at. Today is the mountain hardwear men’s a. Therm hooted jacket polar tech alpha. Insulation to keep you toasty warm weather resistant yet highly breathable. 50 tenure playing we’ve nylon stretch. Fabric that’s a mouthful articulated fit. Seams with an underarm gusset and articulated elbow to keep your moving. And diving super easy some loops to keep. Your sleeves right where you need them.
I’m wearing the mountain hardwear men’s super choc stone hooded jacket this is a. Super lightweight soft shell jacket that. Has a lot of going on in a very small and. Streamlined package it is built with the. Double weave soft shell material and that is a blend of nylon and elastane. Materials so you’ve got durability you’ve got reliability it’s got wind and water resistant and it’s extremely. Stretchy which is something i really like about it this jacket would be great. For cooler weather adventures climbers. Hikers backpackers anybody who need a lightweight soft shell that’s going to move with them and not inhibit their movement so it’s a really nice material in that regard it does have a upf 50. Rating so for climbers high in the. Alpine it’s going to really help protect against that harsh uv light or those uv. Rays in that thinner air so it’s really. Great for those situations overall got some really cool things going on does have pockets pretty simple pockets to zip hand pockets down at the bottom they. Are soft lined with a mesh material so. You can open those for venting if you need to, but they do provide a little bit of comfort for your hands as well a little warm too for what they are and how light this jacket is you’ve also got. A chest pocket and that chest pocket is pretty sizable for some items there and it also doubles as a stow pocket so you. Can actually reverse the jacket on itself stuff it into that chest pocket. Throw it into your pack and you’re on your way packs down really small for what you’re getting and gives you some reliable performance there as well so you can have it with you at the ready the jacket. Does have a hood and it is a pretty low profile hood meant to go under a helmet. So it can give you that wind protection that water resistance above but still go. Under a climbing helmet if you’re using it that way so overall it’s got a pretty. Nice fit and feel to it up there is an elastic closure around the outside. So you’ve got a cinch there and it’s. Kind of just built-in always there but it’s going to be comfortable it’s going to protect you in those harsher environments the jackets not fully waterproof so keep that in mind but it will provide protection from a light rain there is a dwr finish. It is going to shed some of that light moisture but in a serious downpour or even just a heavier steadier rain you’ll. Want a full waterproof shell so keep that in mind with the super choc stone put a jacket there is some elastic. Around the cuffs and something i noticed around the cuffs that would be really great for climbers myself being a climber is that mountain hardwear kind. Of eliminates the stitching in the palm area just under the wrist and what i. Could see that being great for is just simply climbing because you’re going to be rubbing that portion of the jacket it’s inevitable but lacking that. Stitching there’s less of a chance that you’ll blow out those seams and kind of ruin the jacket in that area so just a smart little aesthetic tweak to. The jacket that makes it a lot more functional as well i am wearing a large. Right now and that’s normally what i wear and mountain hardwear gear and it is fitting appropriately it is considered a semi tailored fit or an. Athletic fit so it does come a little bit more snug I’m just i just have a. T-shirt on underneath so i definitely have room for a light fleece or a synthetic insulator but overall still provides great movement and mobility because of those stretch materials so. Great fitting piece super stretchy super. Mobile pack able wind resistant water. Resistant and uv protection built in the. Mountain hardwear men’s super choc stone. Hooded jacket is a great jacket for the. Cool weather adventures thanks for.

I am wearing the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer hooded down jacket. This ultra lightweight piece weighs in at just eight ounces. It utilizes water resistant down insulation to give you all weather performance whether. You are wearing this as a cool weather outer wear piece or as part of a colder weather. Layering system. Let’s take a closer look at its fit and features. The jacket is insulated with 800 fill q shield, water resistant down. So like you would expect from down insulation, extremely lightweight, extremely compressible. And a really strong warmth to weight ratio. However, over the years down has proven to lose its ability to keep you warm if it should. Become wet or damp. With the water resistant treatment to this down, you don’t have to worry about that. Nearly as much. It stays dry longer. Should it become wet, it still retains its ability to keep you warm. A really, really nice treatment to that down insulation. That said, it is worth pointing out that there is not a lot of insulation in this jacket. That is by design. It is an ultra lightweight layering piece. Again, you can certainly wear it as a standalone piece, but in cool weather as opposed. To cold weather. You do have narrow baffles that helps to keep the insulation where it should be so it doesn’t. Migrate and it also helps to bolster the warmth that this jacket is able to deliver. The exterior shell fabric on this jacket… keep in mind, we are talking about an ultra. Lightweight piece. So you have got a 70 by 10 d nylon rip stop. It is surprisingly strong and abrasion resistant, but still, we are talking about an ultra light. Weight design. So keep that in mind if you are weighing durability versus performance. That low profile design makes this, again, a great layering piece. You are not going to get a lot of layers underneath this, base layers, certainly. If it is a mid layer, you have got to be extremely low profile. There is a certain expectation that you are likely to put something either even warmer. Over top of it or a more weather resistant, weather proof hard shell jacket. There are elastic cuffs, an interesting treatment on the interior here that keeps those cuffs. In place. a single point of adjust ability on the hem to cinch the fit in there. It is a hooded jacket. No real adjust ability there. Just elastic that runs around the face that gives that a nice, trim, comfortable fit. In keeping with that streamlined design, you only have two pockets on the jacket, zippered. Pockets here on the front. Not much to speak of as far as the lining, but you do have that insulation over the top. Of the hands, so they are warm pockets. The right pocket here also serves as a stow pocket. Put the jacket inside there and show you just how small and compact this jacket is when. Put inside that pocket. You see just how small and compact the jacket is when stuffed inside that right-hand pocket. There is an attachment point here if you want to lash it to the outside of a pack or a harness. At this size i think it is perfect for actually throwing it inside the pack or the top lid. Pocket on a back pack. So you have got that ultra light warmth handy when you need it. The mountain hardwear men’s ghost whisperer hooded down jacket weighs in at just eight. Ounces. It has got that water resistant down, perfect for cool weather activities or as a key part. Of your cold weather layering system.
Hi this is craig geology with review of the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer hooded down jacket for pro like here calm i would put this jacket up against. The patagonia ultralight down hoody but. I like this jacket better for the following reasons number one it’s lighter weight and number two it uses a more intelligent or a higher performance. Baffle design than the ultralight down hoody from patagonia and it’s got a what. I feel is a better design around the. Neck area for a hooded jacket let’s tell you a little bit about this jacket comes in 7.9 ounces or 223. Grams I’m wearing a size medium the size. Large was cut a little big for me it’s filled with two point eight ounces of 850 fill power q shields a hydrophobic. Down q shield is similar to the sierra. Designs dry down they’ve talked about earlier it’s where they take each individual plume, and they treat the. Plume with a dwr durable water repellent. To make it hydrophobic so that the balloon or the plume can withstand the. Presence of moisture and not collapse you know down works by when it’s inside a baffle it’s the loft or the. Springiness of those individual down plumes that create the dead air space inside these baffles i haven’t played. Around a lot with the q shield so i look. Forward to testing that out a little bit more in the future and kind of validating just how well it works and. Some other things about this jacket it’s using their whisper or fabric which is a seven janiero by changing your fabric it’s a really lightweight fabric and. It’s kind of just a really nice hand — it’s very compressible the baffle design this is using about a 1.4 inch. One point three six inches sized baffle so. A good baffle it’s a uniform baffle. Versus some of the other products up here that are using these variegated. Baffle designs the draw cord it’s a very. Small draw cord in the waist but it does have a draw cord for the waste it’s a hidden draw cord it does have two. Zippered pockets on it. And what i like about this jacket is when you zip it all the way up it. Creates a nice tight fit around the neck helps seal off that neck area, and we. Noticed that when we’re looking at these jackets underneath the ar with the flir thermal imaging camera that this jacket. The hooded jacket sometimes when you zip them all the way up they still leave a bit of room around the neck and you can. See that the heat escaping through the neck on hooded jacket, so they all work. Pretty well once you put the hood up it’s when you just have them fully zipped up with the hood down that we can tell a difference so i really like this and it just uses a standard kind of. Stretch binding in the cuff but it’s a. Little bit loose fitting that’s the only thing i might say about this jacket is the cuff could fit a little bit. Tighter so that wraps up the review of. The mountain hardwear ghost whisperer. Down hooded jacket it’s a jacket that i. Really like it works well as a layering. Piece for a mid layer but also you can wear this standalone as an exterior piece as well just a great jacket for. $350 from mountain hardwear thank you for watching our videos thank you for subscribing to our channel and stay tuned to this channel for more videos in the future.
All guys wanted to do a quick review. Of the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer hooded jacket this is an 800 full power. 800 fill power down with the 7 denier. Fabric and it has the q shield which. Means that every down plume or the down. Was treated with a dwr coating to. Protect it from some of the weaknesses of down which is moisture there is. Footage at the end of this video that I’ll include where i wash the jacket and. How you could see the look looms you. No clumping when wet and i put it in the dryer with four. Tennis balls tumble dry low for about 60. Minutes i guess you could do it a little. Shorter but i like to do it on low heat not to damage the fabric and end it down. As much as i can i will be adding you. No down safe detergent to my cleaning. Supplies whatever you want to call that. For all my down coats now i wound up purchasing this jacket. Because i felt that the cerium lt was. Just a little bit warm for my daily use here in new york city this jacket is. Great down to freezing and up to the. Mid-40s you don’t overheat with this as much as. The cerium lt and then app when it goes. Up and we have days when it’s 35 in the. Morning and it’s 55 by the afternoon it’s light enough eight and a half. Ounces was easier for me to. Psychologically carry in my backpack than an 11 ounce serum lt so I’ve owned. This piece since march 2017 did not. Really get a full we use out of this during 2017 bought it. When it was on sale, and we had a couple of cold days before spring had really. Arrived and was able to use it towards. The end of 2017 winter in march so i was. Really upset to see that earlier this. Winter without even a full seasons use. That the stitching was coming off so you. Could see here this was on the right sleeve right by the elbow and then as well. Now after washing it i also noticed that. There’s more stitching coming off right. Above that so it could be a quality. Control issue i have the former or. Previous version of this which is the. Yellow one i featured in one of my videos and that jacket does not show any. Signs of wear and I’ve used it i guess. Pretty close to you know i guess it’s. More of a handful of times in comparison to this but more than 1020. Times for sure the color is a bit hard. To use outside of back country use but i. Did use it for at least two seasons but. Not every day like this jacket now. Mountain hardwear has a limited or has a. Lifetime warranty but they’re going to. Require you to ship it back to the. Manufacturer other thing is if you. Attempt to fix this yourself or pay. Someone to fix it voids that warranty. So i found out that paragon sports here. In new york city mails back to the. Manufacturer so I’m actually bringing this to paragon sports today. And this is maybe the last chance i get. To review this actual jacket because. Either they repair it or they send you a. New jacket so i wanted to show you guys. The defects before i ship it back to the. Manufacturer so rei also does that for. Their customers anyway don’t want to. Dwell too much on this in terms of. Performance it’s very warm for its. Weight and the face fabric which is. Super thin has held up really well you. No i wear a backpack every day and you. Do not see any signs of wear on the. Shoulders the floor even though it. Doesn’t have an adjustment fits pretty. Well except on really windy days so. There’s also no signs of wear for. Abrasion where the backpack is so if it. Were not for the stitching coming off i. Think for the most part the materials. Used are very durable I’ve had no issues. With the zipper and you’ve got a pretty. Nice zipper garage up there. And this is a ykk i believe this is a. Ykk vislon zipper which is better than. The zipper on the cerium lt as far as. Most reviews are concerned these do not. Get stuck or snag as much as the i think. Coil zippers are they that’s what they call them just put some comments below if i butchered that anyway I’m just gonna. Show you guys how the jacket fits so you. Don’t have to go to my last video and. That’s about it weighs eight and a half. Ounces I’m gonna pause and put it in its. Stuff sack that way you guys have a. Reference for packed size and weight so. Here is the ghost whisperer down hoody. Right next to a 1 liter nalgene just for. Size comparison it does not compact as. Small as its previous iteration which. Was the 850 fill power down that had a. Smaller pocket a big advantage is that. The larger pocket makes it easier to stuff the jacket in there and also you. Just have more space for more things in. Your pockets the jacket weighs in at. Ain’t 8.4 ounces so it’s very light you. Can still compress this smaller. If you are one of those people that. Brings compression sacks but i have no. Problem with the size of this jacket in. Terms of its compressed or packed size usually I’ll actually just roll the. Jacket and stuff it into its own hood and then throw that thing in my backpack so i don’t even use this still pocket. That much anyway I’ll be showing you. Guys to fit up the jacket and then I’ll. Be heading to aragon sports today and. Sort of saying goodbye to this jacket not sure if they’re gonna be shipping. The same jacket back to me or if they’re. Just going to replace it hopefully they. Will be able to repair this jacket i do. Like the color and I’m a big fan of the. Ghost whisperer despite some of the. Damages that this jacket has incurred i. Still, have my old version and that thing. Still going strong just not a big fan of. The color which is yellow so alright. Moving on to the next part of the video. Which is the fit so i just wanted to. Show you guys the fit of mountain harbor. Ghost whisperer without having to refer. To other videos I’m 5 foot 8 currently. Weighing in between 193 195 pounds right. Now i wear size large and pretty much. All outdoor jackets and you know regular. Clothing so the fit of the jacket is. Pretty basic its athletic a little bit. Roomier around the torso then the. Arc’teryx serum lt or cerium sl and. For those who haven’t seen that video you could look at the cerium sl hoody. First impressions review and comparison video now there is no hood adjustment. But the hood it’s pretty well collar. Comes up pretty you know pretty high. Right under the chin but still pretty. Comfortable the sleeves are nice and. Long even though I’m a fairly short guy. I have a 72-inch reach so the arms are. Long enough even though i have to put. Then over my head the one thing that i. Do miss with this jacket is the. Articulation of that sort of that sort. Of a diamond looking piece that arc’teryx has for articulation on their. Pieces which is not present here but the. Jacket is roomy enough and mobile enough. It’s a little shiny a little crinkly. This piece though i found that the seven. Didn’t ear fabric on the ghost whisperer. Is noticeably wind proof or more wind. Proof than the cerium sl hoody which is. Why i would choose this over this area. Msl hoodie $350. Eight and a half ounces and a lifetime. Warranty granted not the most convenient. Lifetime warranty which is all about. Patagonia for all of you people out there who want that best warranty as far. As i know how to go nia has the best warranty there is for outdoor gear really cool feature there just one hand. Drawstring action we release that draw cord as well. And you just pull with one hand to seal. In the air the hand pockets are also set. Above your hips or right by the hips. Technically speaking but it’s very easy. Just to bring that up and have your hip. Belt right under the pocket so you can. Still access items in your pockets. Anyway that’s about this it for this. Jacket and I’ll let you guys know in an. Update video later on once i receive. Either this jacket back repaired or a. New jacket or maybe a gift card however. They deal with it that’s one thing that. I will start reviewing on my channel is also the return process or warranty of. These items and i lost some video on. Some shoes hiking shoes that i returned. From vasc but I’ll be doing a lot more. Shoe and footwear reviews this coming. Year so stay tuned for those thank you. Very much for watching please like share and subscribe and I’ll see you next time. So after seasons used i mean after a. Seasons use here’s the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer just popped it in the. Washing machine I’m about to dry it. It’s interesting how looks almost like a. Windshield and some of the parts where the downs just compressed i kind of wish. That this was the color of the jacket it’s actually the lining or the backing. Just that nice dark loose anyway. Just taking some footage and I’ll show. You guys once the jackets nice and puffy using. Tennis balls to get the down to fluff. Back up just adding some video to the. Long term review of the hooded version of the ghost whisperer this is the 850. 800 fill and the face fabric has been. Really good but some of the stitching. Started to break off on this particular jacket I’m not sure how many reports. They get you know in terms of quality. Control but i see that this particular. Piece some of the stitching was coming. Off so I’ll be bringing this back to the retailer which is paragon sports and. Mounting hardware has a pretty decent. Policy at least it shows you know you can mail it back to them they’re going to take a look at it either repair or replace it just make sure that you don’t have the jacket prepared by yourself or. Somebody else because that does point the lifetime. So anyway I’ll be going to the top of. This little guy very windy 37 degrees. But with the windchill feels like 22. I’ve got a little zip top under this and. It’s holding up pretty well anyway that’s it for now and I’ll be showing. Updates and how do you guys know us well now that warranty is i think that should. Be part of the product reviews from now. On at least on my end it will be how easy is it to contact their customer service and how good they are at you. No basically standing behind their product all right so it’s really windy. Gonna have to set this down for now.
Adam here forget out their magazine today i am bringing you a comparative review of two down-filled jackets by mountain hardwear Over here we have the ghost whisperer down hooded jacket and on this side we have the stretch down rs hooded jacket let’s break down what it’s similar first. At first glance you think that these may be the same jacket both uses similar fabric the rs is slightly thicker fabric in the whisper but both are extremely thin and feel like they could rip easily. But let me tell you they’re surprisingly durable after extensive use i have yet. To fiber rip and either of these jackets now each has a drawstring waist and each. Has similar down fill and provides. Similar warmth 750 down fill for the rs. And 800 for the whisper both have mountain hardwear’s q shield down which is treated to be water repellent however both jackets soak throughout their two hours in a wet snowfall finally both. Have down-filled hoods which do not have draw strings, but they do stay on tight even in high winds and that’s really where the similarities end the whisper has an active fit which is. Really tight to the body where the rs of the performance fit which is more room through the waist shoulders and arms for reference I’m five-eleven 185 pounds in both jackets are size medium the whisper. Is the world’s lightest down hooded jacket well at least that’s what the mountain hardwear website says so don’t quote me on that but it is extremely light it only weighs in at 7.7 ounces. Where the rs is also very light but it’s. Almost double the weight at fourteen point nine ounces to keep the weight down the whisper has a minimalistic design and only two zippered hand pockets while the rs has two zippered. Hand pockets a zippered chest pocket in the internal mesh pockets the cuffs are. Both very different drs has a traditional small outer elastic while the whisper has a unique design with the down fill all the way to the end of the sleeve and it has a hidden elastic inside the cuff to keep it in place surprisingly i found this was much better to keep the cuff in place during activity than the rs cuff a neat feature of the ghost whisperer is its ability to be stored away in its own pocket it folds up to the size of a large water bottle which makes it super convenient on days when the temperature or your activity level maven the rs is a version of mountain hardwear’s new stretch down line and to. Be honest i didn’t find there to be much stretch in this fabric however i did find it to be pretty comfortable at the end of the day i found the stretch down rs jacket to be great for leisure activities like walking the dog and hiking as well as general wear around town i also have had many compliments on. The style of this jacket on the other hand the ghost whisperer jacket has not had any compliments for the look and that may be due to the color but it is a way better choice for someone who’s looking for a down-filled jacket to be active in i have found this also to be. Useful as a mid layer under a hard shell jacket because of its nugget let it sit from the outside these jackets are very similar however depending on your use they are quite distinct so hopefully this video helped clarify that for you know if you’d like more information on either of these two jackets or any other mountain hardwear products please visit their website listed in the description below You.

Sometimes the arete of the climb is a literal sharp edge that will cut your climbing rope if you fall. Most of the time, the arete of the climb is simply dealing with cold temperatures that will cut into your skin if you aren’t wearing something sorta warm like the La Sportiva Men’s Arete Pant. Essentially a stretchy sweatpant, the Arete Pant will keep you warm as you work out your project’s most challenging cruxes.
Taking its trust in wool outside of the limits of a baselayer, Ortovox implements wool in some way or another into every one of its garments. The Piz Bianco Insulated Jacket utilizes the temperature-regulating benefits of Swiss wool in an insulating layer that can be worn on its own or under a shell. The Swiss Virgin wool insulation helps regulate your body temperature while transporting moisture away from your body, making it ideal for aerobic activities in cold and high environments commonplace to ski mountaineering and alpine touring. Ortovox updated the Piz this season with a merino wool lining to enhance temperature regulation, moisture management, and breathability. The nylon micro ripstop shell readily resists tearing, and it is fitted with a water-resistant membrane to protect from moisture. Its ergonomic fit helps to insulate and allows you wear a shell over this jacket when the weather turns foul.
Mountain Hardwear designed the Men’s Butterman Crew Shirt as a baselayer for climbing anything from the alpine to nearby boulders. Its Wick.Q fabric manages moisture with quick-drying comfort, and Mountain Hardwear added some stretch for uninhibited mobility on the mountain.
There’s no need to cancel your plans if you wake up to skies that are more gray than blue, because the Black Diamond Men’s Alpine Start Hooded Jacket keeps wind and light rain at arm’s length. Slip it on when the gusts come out to play, and the climbing-specific gussets keep your arms moving freely even as its nylon face blocks the wind. The Schoeller softshell fabric is highly breathable, so you can hike fast and climb hard, and the jacket is treated with Nanosphere technology, making the stretch fabric resistant to both moisture and dirt. Weighing even less than before, it can be easily stowed into its own pocket when the sun comes out, letting you clip it to your harness or stuff it into a pack.
When snow recedes above the tree line and spring flowers bloom, replace your winter jacket with the Outdoor Research Men’s Ferrosi Hooded Jacket. This water-resistant jacket sheds light spring showers and it blocks cool alpine breezes when you hike for late-season turns. The nylon and spandex softshell fabric breathes well when you’re working up a sweat, and it allows for maximum mobility with its movement-mirroring stretch. Tough stretch Cordura on the shoulders and arms stands up to brushes with rock faces and ski edges. In addition, DWR-coated zippers block outside moisture from seeping into vulnerable zipper seams, and the zipper is offset at the collar to prevent chafing.
When i got my hands on the fur osi hoodie i fell in love that jacket was. Perfect for just about everything i was doing outside the only downside was that i had to pick and choose my insulation. It wasn’t insulated and sometimes those insulated layers would get bunched up a ride awkwardly now outdoor research. Offers this winter fur oc hoodie which. Is a perfect balance of all of those features whether you’re climbing in the desert in winter or strolling around downtown the winter fur oc is a great. Piece this jacket really shines because of its face fabric you’ve got a 90 d. Stretch woven rip stop material on the. Outside this is one of the most stretchy materials I’ve ever found in a soft shell but it’s still light supple and. Very durable I’ve climbed in backpack and bushwhacked in my fur oc and it’s. Held up fabulously under that shell. Outdoor research has incorporated a polyester thermal insulation where. Normal ultralight insulated jackets have a 60 gram per square metre insulation. These jackets a bit more hefty with an 80. Gram insulation it’s going to give you the warmth you need whether you’re hard charging or just hanging out compared to a typical down or synthetic puffy this. Jackets gonna hold up significantly better without being too much heavier features are fairly standard on the. Jacket when it comes to pockets and the like you’ve got two zippered hand-warmer pockets a single zippered chest pocket. For smaller pieces and also an internal. Zippered chest pocket for added security at the collar you’ve got a brushed. Tricot lining which adds a lot of comfort and prevents chafing this is a small addition but it’s definitely something i appreciate the collar also stands up well so you’ll get some extra. Protection from winds and harsh weather if you don’t have the hood up the hood. Is insulated and fully adjustable so you can get some good coverage with or without a helmet this is a cool jacket and it comes at a price that makes it super competitive when compared to other insulated pieces it’s got a lot of durability a nice stretchy soft shell but hefty and.

I would normally wear a large so i could have some room to layer with the medium I’m wearing just a t-shirt underneath and i don’t really have any more space the cuffs have elastic and the hem has a. Draw cord so you can cinch it up and keep things tight overall this is an. Awesome jacket less technical than the hooded version but still totally mountain worthy this is the outdoor.

Okay guys welcome to another video in today’s video I’m going to give you a. Four year three-year review on this. Awesome jacket this jacket is made by. Outdoor research and it’s called the furrow c jacket I’ve had this jacket. Like i said i don’t know exactly when i got it i got it in like the spring four. Years ago maybe and I’ve worn this. Is probably my most used most abused. Most useful jacket you can say so this. Is a soft shell a true soft shell so what. It is its an uninsulated windbreaker. With stretch that’s pretty much what it is it’s not waterproof which is a good. Think and I’ll explain in a second real. Quick it has it doesn’t have an over use. Of pockets, it has a pocket right here. And a pocket here and a pocket here. Pretty simple i don’t like jackets with. Like pockets here here and here because all that zipper and all that extra fabric it’s like if I’m not going to use a pockets why are they there so a. Real quick one talk about sizing I’m about six foot two i have a chest. Measurement maybe like 47 48 and this is. A 2x i think it’s the biggest size they make and it fits me really well the. Sleeves are a little long which i like because when i raise my hand as you can see they don’t ride way up it. Fits me i don’t even say snug but not. Loose it fits me perfect it allows me to wear you know a t-shirt and a hoodie. Maybe a fleece underneath this on top. And at the same time i can layer on top. And it does have drawstring at the bottom. Here which i never use just not a fan of it but if you want it you can cinch this. Up and kind of puff it up so you have a way of dead air to give it insulation. Now this jacket in and of itself doesn’t. Isn’t like insulative it doesn’t really have insulation in the form of like. Puffy dead air space like it’s not wool. It’s not please it’s not primaloft it’s not down so in that regard it’s not that. Warm but what this does is it blocks out. A lot of wind which wind is especially. In cold weather but almost in any weather more for me at least more than. Temperature the wind is what can really. Get you because you can have all the insulation in the world but it winds just coming in and blowing all that heat. Out from around your body you’re going cold the fabric i don’t know the exact. Weight of it’s not super thick it’s a. 4 ounce nylon i would say when you buy. This actually this is an older version, so they’ve updated it a couple times but. Everything wanna say about this jacket I’m confident in saying that the newer versions are just as good if not better. When you get it out of box it will feel. Very chintzy it’ll feel very light it’ll. Feel very weak ok and when i first got. This i got it on sale mail-order so i. Didn’t have a chance to try it on during the feel of fabric and when i first got. It oh i would say i was disappointed i was surprised at how lightweight it was. But let me tell you I’ve put this. Through first off this isn’t a work. Jacket with that being said I’ve worn it. As a work jacket I’ve done countless home repair. Projects countless you know outdoor jobs. Countless camping trips countless hiking. Trips fishing trips you name it and this. Has been there and it’s not showing any. Signs of we’re to the point of I’m kind. Of getting a little concerned because how could a fabric this thin this light. Just be so durable now is it possible. You could snag this and tear it i. Actually see no i had that concern. Because that’s why i don’t like lightweight fabrics because at least what i do branches and stuff getting caught on it and tearing it but this. Because it has that stretch and it’s a. Smooth fabric that isn’t doesn’t have a. Lot of snag points on it I’ve snagged. This before sort of and it just rubs off. Now i was before the video i was inspecting this jacket to see if there are any points of where and there’s some. Staining oil stains sap stains tar. Stains maybe some dirt stains so overall. This thing I’m going to coin it as. Apocalypse proof now that gone through the apocalypse with this but i would be totally more than confident to go. Through the apocalypse with this would be a great companion especially. For if you’d need to debug out or if. Some big long-term event happened and you needed to do work outside this thing. Is kind of protective layer like it. Protects your skin think of it as. Like a work glove but at the same time it offers wind protection now i want to. Talk about waterproof so this in a gore-tex this isn’t waterproof and it’s not claimed to be waterproof it’s claimed to be water resistant now i have. Found this is not water resistant whatsoever when i first got it actually maybe a little bit maybe it had a teflon. Coating there a uh yeah teflon i think. Through sustaining to resist water but this will readily. Soak water okay so I’m not claiming this. Is a lot of proof um this has gone through a wash i don’t fifty times or something like that so whatever water proofing was on here is washed off so it’s not. Waterproof and it will readily absorb water and then also because it’s not. That swishing material it’s kind of. Rougher material kind of canvas type. Material water wool won’t as. Easily run off of this but the main so. If I’m working outside in the rain I’ve. Tried gore-tex like gore-tex rain jacket and you just build up so much heat from. Working that you end up letting out from. Your sweat so I’ve made that sacrifice. It’s like you can either wet up from your sweat or you can wet out from water from the rain now working in this why. I’m calling this a piece of like work wear is because i can do anything and i can pretty much wear this in all seasons and not be uncomfortable but i can be. Doing whatever and because the fit because the sleeves aren’t super baggy. It’s not getting in the way how i tend to wear this actually is i. Pull the sleeves up and me personally if. I was designing like any work soft shell it actually gets a t-shirt variety because whenever I’m doing like actual work i have the sleeves pulled up so one. Think and maybe the neighbor versions have this probably not one thing I’d like to see is one of those buttons here like on a plaid button-up so you could. Roll it up and button it so you could. Take it on and off and the sleeves stay up now one thing i do like though which. Kind of goes against that is it doesn’t have buttons it doesn’t have zippers it doesn’t have like velcro around the. Sleeves especially in the wintertime. Velcro would just collect snow so i like. How clean the cuffs are moving to the. Lane another reason i like this is. Because it fits me well it’s not super. Baggy it fits me well but it’s long now. Then again the newer versions this is. Like a 2012-2013 design the newer. Versions might be cut different keep that in mind but the reason i like this one specifically is its long length so. It’s not overly long as you can see you. Now it goes maybe eight inches past my. Waist well it does not have pit zips the. Newer versions might with that being. Said with this type of fabric with this type of jacket i never found the need for pit zips because sometimes i wear this with a t-shirt and a problem i found with jackets with pit zips if you only have a t-shirt or tank top underneath is that zipper wear is on the inside of your arm. And it can cause discomfort so maybe. That’s why they didn’t include offensive but frankly this breathes so well you. Don’t need a pizza what a pizza is real quick is its pretty much as if you’re opening by your armpits which is pretty much your main source of perspiration air where you’re going to be sweating from and what i found is I’ve worn. This in temperatures from 70 degrees. Eighty degrees when i need something. Maybe working around spruce trees and i don’t want my forearms irritated but. I’ve worn this in 70 degree whether it’s not uncomfortable it’s just a t-shirt underneath and then i also wear this. Hiking cold-weather hiking I’ll wear. This down to zero degrees with a puffy. Or with a hoodie underneath and the only. Reason wearing this again is to block from that windchill effect overall i. Don’t want this to be a longer view frankly i just want it to be straight to the point this jacket long story short if you’re looking for a soft shell jacket that’s lightweight compact our lightweight packs down. Really small is very comfortable in a wide range of weather and is super. Durable and also really easy to work in. And not cumbersome and a host of other. Reasons that i can’t think of off the top of my head this is the jacket for you this is a true soft shop i have had other soft-shells in the past that are really thick very stiff do you just feel. Awkward and they’re not that warm and. They don’t provide that much wind blocking ability no this doesn’t offer. The best wind block ability there’s a. There’s a fine line between berthe. Readability and wind proof so if you. Have something 100% wind resistant it’s not going to agree that well if you have something 100 shot waterproof it’s not going to breathe whatsoever so this is a. You sacrifice a little wind blocking capabilities for a very breathable. Jacket so yeah long story short they. Have newer versions out and i would feel. Confident in recommending those even though i haven’t tried them I’m also going to leave with a link to get his tactical he has liked one at least one maybe two videos talking about this exact jacket and i pretty much can echo. Everything he said this is like my go-to. Jacket for a lot of stuff again it’s not. Insulated it’s not a like winter jacket. But it’s a nice layering piece and very. Comfortable it fits very well for all you found this helpful useful if you. Have any questions about this leave it in the comments below if you like this video give it a big thumbs up and like always go back to home page we’ll watch through my current videos if you like what you see feel free to subscribe we’ll catch you on the next video.
The Ghost Whisperer isn’t just the lightest puffy from Mountain Hardwear; it’s the lightest puffy on the market. Because of its increasing popularity, Mountain Hardwear now offers the Ghost Whisperer in various styles with hoods, without hoods, etc. The Men’s Ghost Whisperer Reversible Jacket offers two styles in one, and is still suitable for high-elevation adventures ranging from backpacking trips to alpine expeditions. Its 800-fill down insulation is so compressible that the jacket can fit into its own pocket for compact storage in backpacks, and the shell sheds light moisture ranging from snowflakes to spring showers.
Why man she kills knobs and watches baby. And this is about the doc my momma. Mountain hardwear man wasn’t there you. Know mountain hardwear my cuz we gotta. Have out there mountain hardwear logo in it man and these are the ghost whisperer. Jackets now what they are they’re. Lightweight down jackets by lightweight. You wouldn’t believe me if i told you how light they are i know i’ve done. Videos on them before but this is a one. Year later update on the two non hooded. Jackets that we have this black one and. Then this green one now this one’s mine. Of course the black ones means guns knives and watches and i really like the green but. When i purchased these these things list. For $300 apiece for the non hooded and. Three hundred and fifty dollars a piece for the hood hood in my real-world. Estimation unless you’re going for a. Fashion statement that you’re just going to wear to school or something or da-da-da-da-da or to non there’s no need. In paying $350 you can buy these things. On closeout all the time from a hundred and thirty dollars for the non hooded. And about 140 to 150 dollars so i would. Go in somewhere in that price range a hundred and thirty to a hundred and fifty dollars apiece now you may not get. The the color you want you may not get. The size that you want but that’s just. The way it is i’ll give you an example of that you know i i didn’t my first. Inclination was not to purchase this and bright green jacket even though i really. Do like it now i would have much rather. Had something that’s a little more subdued like this one but for the price. I think i got this for a hundred and thirty dollars it’s really great of. Course these are down lightweight insulated layers can be exterior layers the one thing about this down is is treated with something that they’re marketing as cue. Shield right there and what that does is. That gives the down the ability to get. Wet and everything’s better when it’s. Wet maybe it really is things don’t get. Interesting till it starts raining you’re not training less it’s raining that’s just the way it works. So these hold some of their ability to. Have warmth even when wet when. Traditional that untreated down isn’t and that’s really the basis of my. Judging the honest to god value of these these items because there is a lot of. Sewing into in it each stitch there’s. Not a lot of treated down in it and if you can notice through this orange. Because it’s more of a translucent. Orange you can see some of the darker. Feathers possibly on camera showing. Through now let me see if i can make. That work probably not anyway it doesn’t matter but like i said missus guns. Knives and watch it’s got a small in this where she would normally wear an extra small it’s a little long in the sleeves but for the price you couldn’t couldn’t beat it and then of course i got this more whatever type of green. That it is but if i was gonna buy one my. Recommendation is that you go with the hood because there’s such a small. Difference between the cost of the two and people hike use these to hike the appalachian trail they use them out on hiking and they use them all kinds of different things and i carry believe it. Or not i carry a backpack all the time when i wear mine and there’s no real. Wear marks now this is a micro rip stop. And i can’t really show you that on. Camera because it seems is or maybe i. Can there’s a micro rip stop pattern. Man i don’t know that’s showing everyone. And it’s a very very high thread-count. Fabric which gives it the ability number. One your feathers aren’t going to poke through which in a lesser thread count of course they would and also you get. Basically a strength factor similar to. Silk okay where you don’t have you don’t. Have the big thread like you’re doing like kevlar or like no matte nomex or. Any of that other kind of crap no max it. For fire rating but spec tara whatever. You know you you get the gist of the idea so i would say these are really. Good codes highly recommend them via our favorites they’re extremely lightweight they’re extremely packable everything packs up in its own little pocket you can see. It’s got a double zipper on it and it. Just goes in relatively easy without. Much fuss without much this that or the other and just gonna eat your shelf. Liner but that’s basically what you’re. Left with and i’ll even go through the. Effort of zipping it even though i have. Found that with these compressible coats. And things like this you really need to. Pull the zipper together to zip it or. Else you basically wind up putting too much force on the zipper itself that’s. Pretty self-explanatory this isn’t rocket science or anything like that and. Me hugging a tripod right now anything exactly probably the best setup in the world. But let’s see if i can do it on camera it’s not real till it’s on film right. Anyway about size of my hand of course i. Got rather large size hands but it’s just the way it is well what else can i. Say. Told you the pricing told you this there or the other course at 300 and 350 and. If you’re going to use these things you’re whacked out of your gourd but. That you know they’re dumb people born. Every day this guy’s knives and watches and have a. Good one buy things when people don’t. Want them don’t buy them when they’re in high demand you know by last year’s. Color buy whatever just do it correctly one thing that i have noticed between. The generations of these two and. Probably i pulled the wrong one out the older ones had elastic on the edge elastic if it’s really good quality kind. Of a problem with the newer ones. Don’t they have a just a basic wear. Strip there which has very little flecks. In it i don’t know how that’s going to. Actually which one’s going to wear out first or give up its ghost first but. These are wearing well this gots knives. And watches peace out.
This is the mountain hardwear men’s ghost whisperer down jacket at seven. Ounces it offers ultra lightweight warmth great pack ability as an extra. Layer or for cool weather temperatures the ghost whisperer is insulated with. 850 full q shield down what’s so. Important about that is it is water repellent down traditionally down insulation while very compressible very. Warm is susceptible to decrease. Performance should it become wet so in humid conditions in moist conditions it. Loses its ability to keep you warm it is a low profile jacket again it’s not designed for the coldest of weather but. A certainly intended to keep you warm can’t do that if that down can’t retain. Its abilities and q shield down allows. This jacket to function in all types of conditions also helping to maintain that. Lightweight design 70 + 10 d ripstops. Nylon shell fabric here on the jacket it. Is surprisingly tough but that is. Definitely an ultra lightweight fabrication — so be aware of that as far. As adjust ability on the jacket you do have a single pull here at the hem to. Snug that in and kind of dial in fit. Elasticity at the cuffs you do have a. Full length zipper on the jacket so easy. On easy off not gonna find that on every. Jacket that’s a mere 7 ounces a lot of. Times in order to accomplish that manufacturers have to go to the half zip the ghost whisperer down jacket does have that convenient folds it as far as. Pocketing is concerned on the jacket very streamlined you do have two zippered hand warmer pockets there aren’t any internal pockets or chest. Pockets on this jacket the right side. Pocket does allow you to stow the jacket. Inside it so when you don’t need it when you just want to throw it inside your pack it hides away inside its very own. Integrate here’s that ghost whisperer stuffed away. Inside that right pocket you can see those nice compact dimensions and again. At just seven ounces this really is an. Ideal piece for the backpacker to have. At the ready when temperatures dip a. Little bit and you just need a little extra warmth certainly looks great to do so a nice option for cool weather.
This is a review of the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer hooded jacket a very lightweight winged jacket that. Weighs in at 2.1 ounces or 53 grams and. We did validate that on pull out your scales not only is it lightweight but as. Important it packs down to a really small size i put a business card up here. So you can get a reference of just how small this packs down to we feel that the two primary performance attributes of a winged jacket should be a minimum. Wage and packing down to a very small size there’s something that you want to take with you if you’re a trail riding lightweight backpacking mountain biking etc to give you that extra degree of. Protection from the elements log gonna. Have to get you back to the trail head fit i am wearing a size large right now. I’m a little over 6 foot tall i have a 42-inch chest and a 33-inch waist and. I’ve got about a six-foot wingspan and. So the sleeves are plenty long and it. Size large fits me well i tried on a size medium and it was a little small for me so in terms of american sizing. Pretty true to size perhaps running a. Little bit slimmer than some other brands size larges price this comes in. At a hundred and sixty-five dollars so on the expensive side of things let’s. Talk about features this is using the same ghost whisperer fabric that mountain hardwear uses in their ghost whisperer down jacket it’s a 7 by 10. Denier fabric which is very. Lightweight you can see that it’s so. Think you can actually kind of see through it you can see the print on my t-shirt underneath this even though it’s such a lightweight fabric we haven’t had any problems with warranty on this with. People returning it saying they’ve ripped it or shredded it but it is a. Lightweight minimus fabric so you wouldn’t want to go bush walking through it you probably could tear it fairly easily it uses a number 3 ykk Quayle. Zipper so a lightweight Quayle zipper it. Doesn’t have any pockets other than a. Small pocket which serves a small. Internal pocket which serves as your stuff pocket for stuffing the jacket into there is a slight of. Elastic in the cuffs in the waist and in. The hood lets’s see your performance the story with performance on the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer hooded jacket is that it is a well-balanced performer. Across every category that we tested it in if you watch our previous video we tested four different wind jackets for. Air permeability or breath ability wind. Resistance as well as water resistance using a hydrostatic head test and the. Mountain hardwear jacket while it didn’t. Win any of those tests it didn’t take last place in any of those tests either in terms of the wind resistance. It was the second best behind the Montaigne slipstream gl jacket which is. You reference that video the Montaigne slips from gl was the least air permeable or breathable so that makes sense it was the most wind resistant in. Terms of air permeability it wasn’t the most breathable it wasn’t the least breathable it a place just higher than the Montaigne so there are jackets if you are looking. For a jacket that you’re going to be wearing while you’re heavily exercising. A lot trail running etc you might look at something that’s a little bit more breathable if you tend to work up a pretty good sweat while performing those. Activities in terms of water resistance if performed just behind the patagonia. Houdini so the story with this is number. One very lightweight at 2.1 ounces or 53. Grams number two packs down to a really. Really small size and it’s a well-balanced performing wind shirt so a good. All-around choice if you’re only going to choose one wind shirt or wind jacket if you have any questions on this at all please give us a call here at code four zero six five eight two zero five zero eight horses an email to info at per lite. Calm thanks for watching. You.
Okay guys this is the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer down jacket down is a. 800 fill down i don’t actually have the. Gram weight of the down because the manufacturer didn’t provide that information 7 deniers by 10 denier ripstop nylon meaning i think it’s seven. In one direction int in another direction it does have a dwr finish like. The other jackets that we’ve discussed and also mountain hardwear I’m going a step further, and they have put a dwr treatment on the down itself inside the. Jacket they claim this down is more water resistance than standard down. There are lots of little cells, and they are totally closed off so you don’t have. That concern about having down migrate. Around between the down cells zipped all. The way up the color does stand up again we do have space zipping seems smooth no issues there. This cut is clearly a longer and thinner. More athletic cut than the boxiness of the mont beljac its turn here and give. You a view of the sides and back five. You again a view with the zipper down just so you get a feel for what that looks like this is a medium and on my. Frame i feel again this is too big too baggy a lot of folks like their jackets like this right they want to put a lot of layers underneath they like to have that roominess bagginess i like it a little bit more fitted again no hood on this cuff style. There’s no elastic in the cuff they have. What they call i think they called it a buttery lining it’s just sort of suede. Or soft lining a suede light probably. Not actually swayed it’s actually snug or even though it’s not elastic it actually sits around my hands making a better seal than the anorak and the plasma did. I think because it’s longer so it sits down on the wider meteor part of my hands and makes a seal this one is kind of. Interesting I’ll try and show you a close-up later it’s a single point. Although the court does go all the way. Around your body it’s a single pull. Hopefully you can see that and then the release is actually inside here and. Maybe we can get a close-up of that later but what you do is you just pinch. The release and then it comes undone no. Problem pockets now this is important to me this actually has two hand warming. Pockets okay big deep and warming pockets with a nice zipper on those. Which is something that we haven’t seen any other models fabric wise this. Actually feels a little shinier than the. Montville jackets I’m not so much into. The shininess but it’s not a problem is. Clearly less crinkly than the montville. Jackets I’ve got no pretty cleanness at all no creaking noise 209 grams. Now this jacket does not have a stuff sack it does stuff into its own pocket. The right side pocket has a reverse. Zipper so when you go inverted you do. Have a zipper on the outside so that’s a nice feature okay guys you’re looking at the small and the ghost whisperer the. Mountain hardwear ghost whisperer jacket and snug it’s fitted i can still get a. Layer underneath it at least a nice thick capilene maybe even a fleece but. This is what i like let me give you a look with the zipper on and off how that. Feels and wears and do a little runway. Show for you get the front back insides. This jacket is weighs in and 195 grams. So again a little bit heavier than the. Mock bail jackets but still extremely light and it does have the other features obviously that i mentioned with regard to the medium so i hope that’s helped we’re gonna talk about pack ability price, and then we’ll wrap it up what we’re. Looking at here is the anorak the x. Light down interact for month though small and medium this is the plasma. 1,000 small and medium this is the. Mountain hardwear ghost whisperer small and medium this is a standard 32 ounce now gn bottle this is the smaller 16-ounce nalgene bottle if you’ve seen. Those again these four are in a stuff. Sack these are stuffed into their own pocket. All of these stuffed fairly easily i. Think this bag is actually slightly bigger than this bag the plasma bag is. Bigger than the anorak bag that’s why it looks bigger although the anorak is a slightly larger jacket with a hood so it’s actually packed in there a little tighter all of these jackets compress a lot more if i. Have three hands i would show you if you take your palms and smoosh both ends. These jackets together you can easily smush them to half the length of what. They are in front of you now certainly within the size or volume of that nalgene bottle there so that’s the. Review guys i spent a lot of time looking at these jackets being reviews and then evaluating these jackets in my own home i spent some time trying to put. Together a video that would give you the. Best of all the videos and reviews that i watched so i would cover all the information people say some things, and they leave out other parts i tried to cover all the details with all three jackets so you can really get an idea of. What would be the best jacket for you and I’m gonna go with small down whisper or ghost whisperer rather because it’s. Got the features that i liked it doesn’t have any cream cleanness it does have a slim taller fit it does have the pockets. It does have the hem adjustment around the waist so i just like that jacket the. The Best alright guys happy gear hunting and. Please like share and subscribe if you appreciate this video I’ve got a lot more ideas another video on the rain. Jackets that i evaluated — check the description of the video for a link to a. Spreadsheet with the details weights prices please like share and subscribe, and we’ll see you soon.
I am wearing the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer hooded down jacket. This ultra lightweight piece weighs in at just eight ounces. It utilizes water resistant down insulation to give you all weather performance whether. You are wearing this as a cool weather outer wear piece or as part of a colder weather. Layering system. Let’s take a closer look at its fit and features. The jacket is insulated with 800 fill q shield, water resistant down. So like you would expect from down insulation, extremely lightweight, extremely compressible. And a really strong warmth to weight ratio. However, over the years down has proven to lose its ability to keep you warm if it should. Become wet or damp. With the water resistant treatment to this down, you don’t have to worry about that. Nearly as much. It stays dry longer. Should it become wet, it still retains its ability to keep you warm. A really, really nice treatment to that down insulation. That said, it is worth pointing out that there is not a lot of insulation in this jacket. That is by design. It is an ultra lightweight layering piece. Again, you can certainly wear it as a standalone piece, but in cool weather as opposed. To cold weather. You do have narrow baffles that helps to keep the insulation where it should be so it doesn’t. Migrate and it also helps to bolster the warmth that this jacket is able to deliver. The exterior shell fabric on this jacket… keep in mind, we are talking about an ultra. Lightweight piece. So you have got a 70 by 10 d nylon rip stop. It is surprisingly strong and abrasion resistant, but still, we are talking about an ultra light. Weight design. So keep that in mind if you are weighing durability versus performance. That low profile design makes this, again, a great layering piece. You are not going to get a lot of layers underneath this, base layers, certainly. If it is a mid layer, you have got to be extremely low profile. There is a certain expectation that you are likely to put something either even warmer. Over top of it or a more weather resistant, weather proof hard shell jacket. There are elastic cuffs, an interesting treatment on the interior here that keeps those cuffs. In place. a single point of adjust ability on the hem to cinch the fit in there. It is a hooded jacket. No real adjust ability there. Just elastic that runs around the face that gives that a nice, trim, comfortable fit. In keeping with that streamlined design, you only have two pockets on the jacket, zippered. Pockets here on the front. Not much to speak of as far as the lining, but you do have that insulation over the top. Of the hands, so they are warm pockets. The right pocket here also serves as a stow pocket. Put the jacket inside there and show you just how small and compact this jacket is when. Put inside that pocket. You see just how small and compact the jacket is when stuffed inside that right-hand pocket. There is an attachment point here if you want to lash it to the outside of a pack or a harness. At this size i think it is perfect for actually throwing it inside the pack or the top lid. Pocket on a back pack. So you have got that ultra light warmth handy when you need it. The mountain hardwear men’s ghost whisperer hooded down jacket weighs in at just eight. Ounces. It has got that water resistant down, perfect for cool weather activities or as a key part. Of your cold weather layering system.
Hi this is craig geology with review of the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer hooded down jacket for pro like here calm i would put this jacket up against. The patagonia ultralight down hoody but. I like this jacket better for the following reasons number one it’s lighter weight and number two it uses a more intelligent or a higher performance. Baffle design than the ultralight down hoody from patagonia and it’s got a what. I feel is a better design around the. Neck area for a hooded jacket let’s tell you a little bit about this jacket comes in 7.9 ounces or 223. Grams I’m wearing a size medium the size. Large was cut a little big for me it’s filled with two point eight ounces of 850 fill power q shields a hydrophobic. Down q shield is similar to the sierra. Designs dry down they’ve talked about earlier it’s where they take each individual plume, and they treat the. Plume with a dwr durable water repellent. To make it hydrophobic so that the balloon or the plume can withstand the. Presence of moisture and not collapse you know down works by when it’s inside a baffle it’s the loft or the. Springiness of those individual down plumes that create the dead air space inside these baffles i haven’t played. Around a lot with the q shield so i look. Forward to testing that out a little bit more in the future and kind of validating just how well it works and. Some other things about this jacket it’s using their whisper or fabric which is a seven janiero by changing your fabric it’s a really lightweight fabric and. It’s kind of just a really nice hand — it’s very compressible the baffle design this is using about a 1.4 inch. One point three six inches sized baffle so. A good baffle it’s a uniform baffle. Versus some of the other products up here that are using these variegated. Baffle designs the draw cord it’s a very. Small draw cord in the waist but it does have a draw cord for the waste it’s a hidden draw cord it does have two. Zippered pockets on it. And what i like about this jacket is when you zip it all the way up it. Creates a nice tight fit around the neck helps seal off that neck area, and we. Noticed that when we’re looking at these jackets underneath the ar with the flir thermal imaging camera that this jacket. The hooded jacket sometimes when you zip them all the way up they still leave a bit of room around the neck and you can. See that the heat escaping through the neck on hooded jacket, so they all work. Pretty well once you put the hood up it’s when you just have them fully zipped up with the hood down that we can tell a difference so i really like this and it just uses a standard kind of. Stretch binding in the cuff but it’s a. Little bit loose fitting that’s the only thing i might say about this jacket is the cuff could fit a little bit. Tighter so that wraps up the review of. The mountain hardwear ghost whisperer. Down hooded jacket it’s a jacket that i. Really like it works well as a layering. Piece for a mid layer but also you can wear this standalone as an exterior piece as well just a great jacket for. $350 from mountain hardwear thank you for watching our videos thank you for subscribing to our channel and stay tuned to this channel for more videos in the future.
Hi I’m after steve and today I’m testing. And reviewing mountain hardwear’s updated ghost whisperer down jacket this. Down jacket has got to be the lightest down jacket i have ever picked up i keep. Hanging it to people and telling them to try it because they just can’t believe how light it weighs the entire coat is. Just over 200 grams and is incredibly. Compressible to be able to stuff it in a. Backpack I’ve been using it now for over. Two months including up in the mountains in poland for hiking and it has been an absolute dream to wear being a super. Lightweight jacket it’s pretty stripped down it doesn’t have that many features for example the cops are just elasticized but there still are two full. Hand stash pockets it’s got a fairly small zipper once you zip it up it fits. Really nicely as you can see so it’s. What’s called an active fit and hugs your body quite nicely the jacket as well. Features a single quick pull waist cinch. Located on one side i just pull it here. And it tightens up around my waist which is quite handy to be able to do it with just one hand we’re insulation this jacket uses an 850. Fill down and if you know anything about down that means it’s pretty darn warm. But the real magic is the fact that they’ve actually created a process which they call q shield down i guess and it. Essentially infuses the down which will built-in water repellency so even when. It gets wet it maintains its loft and it’s warm because of the tight weave it’s also quite wind proof so I’ve had this out in. A night breeze and i still stay warm the jacket I’m wearing it’s a size small blue obviously but it also comes a few. Other colors and a range of sizes for those that are looking for a little bit more coverage you can actually get the ghost whisperer hooded down jacket which. Is the exact same as this one only has a fold down hood that you can bring over your head as well in case you’re wondering the jacket does it into its own punch which is pretty amazing so I’ve stuffed it all in there which wasn’t too hard now i just unpack it. Like that throw it on and I’m nice and. Water people ask me what this coat might be rated to in terms of temperature and i do have a thicker down jacket that i. Wear in the dead of winter and it’s always warm i still have a little bit of. A concern that once a temperature dips to really cold temperatures this won’t quite cut it but the beauty of it is it’s so small and thin and has such a. Nice cut that i can put on pretty much any of my shells over top of this easily without any problem i do have one small nitpick with jacket and that’s the zipper I’ve actually found a number of times when i was heading out the door and i grabbed the jacket trying to zip it up quickly I’ve had problems at the bottom not quite lining up and then the zipper separating at the bottom so I’m here in the tatra mountains hiking I’ll hold the day started out dry and warm as. We got up high in the mountains i got pretty windy but luckily i had my ghost whisperer down johnny it fit right in my. Camera bag without any problem it was great to have a long well as you can see we have a nice snowfall today it’s pretty chilly but. With this jacket on I’m nice and toasty. On the inside and i barely feel the weight on well that’s it for my review the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer down jacket it’s got a lot of warmth without the weight and the q shield down keeps it nice and dry even when there’s snow or a little bit of rain coming down more information on this and all the other products at the mountain hardwear ca. You.
Hevy woman joe here I’m out here for a quick walk and i figure out we just do a quick first impressions video of my new down jacket i got this jacket on black friday this is the mount hardware ghost. Whisperer jacket so i got this jacket on. Black friday the original price of the jacket is very expensive anybody would. Tell you that there’s no denying that the jacket originally cost over $300. It’s more with the hood i got the one without the hood obviously but on black trousers it will get the jacket for closer to $200 which i thought was a great deal so i just been wearing this jacket to it from work the past couple weeks and the jack has been performing great keeps me very warm this jacket has. A cue shield for the down so it keeps is. Slightly more water resistant than other down jackets and the jacket has been giving me very warm i got this jacket. Because it is extremely lightweight and it’s 800 fell down i wanted something with a little bit more insulation than my older jacket that was the patagonia men’s nano puff jacket the jacket only. Weighs seven and a half ounces and it could compact inside its own pocket which is great i was really shocked with. How lightweight this jacket was so one thing i was a little bit disappointed in the jacko’s i would imagine that there would been a little bit more of a loft to the jacket maybe it’s just me I’m not. Really sure but for 800 foot down i would imagine that would have been more loft so one thing i was nervous about when i first bought this jacket was the size so I’m about 510 and 160 pounds and. I usually go between a medium and a large but i decided to go with a medium and a medium fits great i have slightly longer. Arms so sometimes i have to get a large. But on the sleeves you could tell that i. Definitely have enough don’t have enough. Room there on my arm there and the jacket fits great if you’re if you’re. Around my height and around the same weight definitely get a medium okay everyone so i just want to make a quick first impressions video of my new down jacket this jacket has very good quality. Keeps me very warm and I’m very glad that i got it again this is the ghost whisperer jacket by mount hardware so. Thanks for watching.
All guys wanted to do a quick review. Of the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer hooded jacket this is an 800 full power. 800 fill power down with the 7 denier. Fabric and it has the q shield which. Means that every down plume or the down. Was treated with a dwr coating to. Protect it from some of the weaknesses of down which is moisture there is. Footage at the end of this video that I’ll include where i wash the jacket and. How you could see the look looms you. No clumping when wet and i put it in the dryer with four. Tennis balls tumble dry low for about 60. Minutes i guess you could do it a little. Shorter but i like to do it on low heat not to damage the fabric and end it down. As much as i can i will be adding you. No down safe detergent to my cleaning. Supplies whatever you want to call that. For all my down coats now i wound up purchasing this jacket. Because i felt that the cerium lt was. Just a little bit warm for my daily use here in new york city this jacket is. Great down to freezing and up to the. Mid-40s you don’t overheat with this as much as. The cerium lt and then app when it goes. Up and we have days when it’s 35 in the. Morning and it’s 55 by the afternoon it’s light enough eight and a half. Ounces was easier for me to. Psychologically carry in my backpack than an 11 ounce serum lt so I’ve owned. This piece since march 2017 did not. Really get a full we use out of this during 2017 bought it. When it was on sale, and we had a couple of cold days before spring had really. Arrived and was able to use it towards. The end of 2017 winter in march so i was. Really upset to see that earlier this. Winter without even a full seasons use. That the stitching was coming off so you. Could see here this was on the right sleeve right by the elbow and then as well. Now after washing it i also noticed that. There’s more stitching coming off right. Above that so it could be a quality. Control issue i have the former or. Previous version of this which is the. Yellow one i featured in one of my videos and that jacket does not show any. Signs of wear and I’ve used it i guess. Pretty close to you know i guess it’s. More of a handful of times in comparison to this but more than 1020. Times for sure the color is a bit hard. To use outside of back country use but i. Did use it for at least two seasons but. Not every day like this jacket now. Mountain hardwear has a limited or has a. Lifetime warranty but they’re going to. Require you to ship it back to the. Manufacturer other thing is if you. Attempt to fix this yourself or pay. Someone to fix it voids that warranty. So i found out that paragon sports here. In new york city mails back to the. Manufacturer so I’m actually bringing this to paragon sports today. And this is maybe the last chance i get. To review this actual jacket because. Either they repair it or they send you a. New jacket so i wanted to show you guys. The defects before i ship it back to the. Manufacturer so rei also does that for. Their customers anyway don’t want to. Dwell too much on this in terms of. Performance it’s very warm for its. Weight and the face fabric which is. Super thin has held up really well you. No i wear a backpack every day and you. Do not see any signs of wear on the. Shoulders the floor even though it. Doesn’t have an adjustment fits pretty. Well except on really windy days so. There’s also no signs of wear for. Abrasion where the backpack is so if it. Were not for the stitching coming off i. Think for the most part the materials. Used are very durable I’ve had no issues. With the zipper and you’ve got a pretty. Nice zipper garage up there. And this is a ykk i believe this is a. Ykk vislon zipper which is better than. The zipper on the cerium lt as far as. Most reviews are concerned these do not. Get stuck or snag as much as the i think. Coil zippers are they that’s what they call them just put some comments below if i butchered that anyway I’m just gonna. Show you guys how the jacket fits so you. Don’t have to go to my last video and. That’s about it weighs eight and a half. Ounces I’m gonna pause and put it in its. Stuff sack that way you guys have a. Reference for packed size and weight so. Here is the ghost whisperer down hoody. Right next to a 1 liter nalgene just for. Size comparison it does not compact as. Small as its previous iteration which. Was the 850 fill power down that had a. Smaller pocket a big advantage is that. The larger pocket makes it easier to stuff the jacket in there and also you. Just have more space for more things in. Your pockets the jacket weighs in at. Ain’t 8.4 ounces so it’s very light you. Can still compress this smaller. If you are one of those people that. Brings compression sacks but i have no. Problem with the size of this jacket in. Terms of its compressed or packed size usually I’ll actually just roll the. Jacket and stuff it into its own hood and then throw that thing in my backpack so i don’t even use this still pocket. That much anyway I’ll be showing you. Guys to fit up the jacket and then I’ll. Be heading to aragon sports today and. Sort of saying goodbye to this jacket not sure if they’re gonna be shipping. The same jacket back to me or if they’re. Just going to replace it hopefully they. Will be able to repair this jacket i do. Like the color and I’m a big fan of the. Ghost whisperer despite some of the. Damages that this jacket has incurred i. Still, have my old version and that thing. Still going strong just not a big fan of. The color which is yellow so alright. Moving on to the next part of the video. Which is the fit so i just wanted to. Show you guys the fit of mountain harbor. Ghost whisperer without having to refer. To other videos I’m 5 foot 8 currently. Weighing in between 193 195 pounds right. Now i wear size large and pretty much. All outdoor jackets and you know regular. Clothing so the fit of the jacket is. Pretty basic its athletic a little bit. Roomier around the torso then the. Arc’teryx serum lt or cerium sl and. For those who haven’t seen that video you could look at the cerium sl hoody. First impressions review and comparison video now there is no hood adjustment. But the hood it’s pretty well collar. Comes up pretty you know pretty high. Right under the chin but still pretty. Comfortable the sleeves are nice and. Long even though I’m a fairly short guy. I have a 72-inch reach so the arms are. Long enough even though i have to put. Then over my head the one thing that i. Do miss with this jacket is the. Articulation of that sort of that sort. Of a diamond looking piece that arc’teryx has for articulation on their. Pieces which is not present here but the. Jacket is roomy enough and mobile enough. It’s a little shiny a little crinkly. This piece though i found that the seven. Didn’t ear fabric on the ghost whisperer. Is noticeably wind proof or more wind. Proof than the cerium sl hoody which is. Why i would choose this over this area. Msl hoodie $350. Eight and a half ounces and a lifetime. Warranty granted not the most convenient. Lifetime warranty which is all about. Patagonia for all of you people out there who want that best warranty as far. As i know how to go nia has the best warranty there is for outdoor gear really cool feature there just one hand. Drawstring action we release that draw cord as well. And you just pull with one hand to seal. In the air the hand pockets are also set. Above your hips or right by the hips. Technically speaking but it’s very easy. Just to bring that up and have your hip. Belt right under the pocket so you can. Still access items in your pockets. Anyway that’s about this it for this. Jacket and I’ll let you guys know in an. Update video later on once i receive. Either this jacket back repaired or a. New jacket or maybe a gift card however. They deal with it that’s one thing that. I will start reviewing on my channel is also the return process or warranty of. These items and i lost some video on. Some shoes hiking shoes that i returned. From vasc but I’ll be doing a lot more. Shoe and footwear reviews this coming. Year so stay tuned for those thank you. Very much for watching please like share and subscribe and I’ll see you next time. So after seasons used i mean after a. Seasons use here’s the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer just popped it in the. Washing machine I’m about to dry it. It’s interesting how looks almost like a. Windshield and some of the parts where the downs just compressed i kind of wish. That this was the color of the jacket it’s actually the lining or the backing. Just that nice dark loose anyway. Just taking some footage and I’ll show. You guys once the jackets nice and puffy using. Tennis balls to get the down to fluff. Back up just adding some video to the. Long term review of the hooded version of the ghost whisperer this is the 850. 800 fill and the face fabric has been. Really good but some of the stitching. Started to break off on this particular jacket I’m not sure how many reports. They get you know in terms of quality. Control but i see that this particular. Piece some of the stitching was coming. Off so I’ll be bringing this back to the retailer which is paragon sports and. Mounting hardware has a pretty decent. Policy at least it shows you know you can mail it back to them they’re going to take a look at it either repair or replace it just make sure that you don’t have the jacket prepared by yourself or. Somebody else because that does point the lifetime. So anyway I’ll be going to the top of. This little guy very windy 37 degrees. But with the windchill feels like 22. I’ve got a little zip top under this and. It’s holding up pretty well anyway that’s it for now and I’ll be showing. Updates and how do you guys know us well now that warranty is i think that should. Be part of the product reviews from now. On at least on my end it will be how easy is it to contact their customer service and how good they are at you. No basically standing behind their product all right so it’s really windy. Gonna have to set this down for now.
Somewhere between pleasure, pain, aching feet, and mile 99.2, there exists a hidden space of contentment. Some folks find it nicely tucked away in the back of their mind while you happened to discover under the protection of the Montane Men’s Minimus 777 Jacket, all the while scurrying through a scree-field in a torrential downpour with screaming legs. Whatever the conditions are and wherever you unearth your inner serenity, trust yourself and the Minimus 777 to weather the storm when you fear your feet (or mind, for that matter) won’t.
Built specifically for scenarios in which maintaining a light load is of the utmost concern, the Minimus 777 is a revolutionary jacket with its uniquely waterproof Pertex Shield + 3-layer construction and mere 4.9oz weight. In order to achieve this lightweight constitution, the Minimus 777 optimizes its 3-layer construction by utilizing a 7-denier nylon face fabric, 7-micron laminate film, and 7-denier tricot backing paired with micro-taped seams which in turn make this piece fantastically waterproof yet breathable and ideal for alpine pursuits. Not to mention, the Minimus 777 is equipped with an under-the-helmet hood, waterproof zippers, GPS-friendly chest pocket (that also doubles as a stuff sack), and pliable elastic cuffs, while the articulated arms ensure ample mobility and discourage hem lift as you reach and move.
I told me from the altar on the store. This week we’re going to look up the monte minimus smoke comes in two colors. Comes in the black and also comes in the electric blue with the orange video comes with elastic here that cups also. Come with an elastic atheist which is better on this jacket the natural draw. Cord i thought it might be sitting a little bit differently factions works really well and it also comes with an elastic it hood she can see there and. Also made elastic here too on the back. That just helps the hood sit moving nice. It’s also made from the fur techshield. So you’ve got the wind and waterproof it’s a really really late look like we jacket this one i am put it in 43 grams. I think it weird enough for the medium size this is the small you can see that. 36 36 in chess but it’s a 36 inch chest. Ballet on the jacket fits really nicely. It still got that extra for the space for moving around if you want to put extra meals on as well it has a really. Nice idea with the chest pocket so if you want to put maps in extra nutrition gloves stop there me picturing this so. It’s a really decent sized pocket i so you can get quite a lot of lot of stuff in there as well and it also comes with. The traditional stuff sack so this jacket in the palm of your hand and as i mentioned before it’s the blue jacket as. Well as the black with the with the orange g here so again in a really nice jacket from one to build quality is always absolutely fantastic and they are. Online at the moment i feel to run a store at www.engvid.com. Wait you give us a call on always four five six eight nine four six three.

You never want rain and wind to sweep through while you’re climbing, but what you really don’t want is to be unprepared for it. Providing reliable waterproof protection while maintaining easy mobility to help you climb any pitch, the Mammut Nordwand Light HS Hooded Jacket is an easy choice for your next excursion to high heights in unpredictable alpine environments. It’s made with a tough and rugged waterproof fabric that both shields you from the storm and resists abrasion on rough rock walls, and features a climb-friendly design that’s made to comfortably enhance your mobility. Two pieces of design ingenuity, Mammut’s High Reach and Vertical Motion Construction technologies work together to help you reach high overhead holds without the jacket riding up. You’ll have both enhanced freedom of movement and greater overall comfort, all while staying dry and protected from whatever weather comes your way.
Big mountain trips to Alaska mean you’re going to want something more than your usual shell. Winter expeditions to the far north could do with some extra padding, so bring the Men’s Mammut Nordwand HS Thermo Hooded Jacket. This jacket adopts the same revolutionary cut and Vertical Motion Construction as the Nordwand Pro HS but adds on a dollop of hot sauce. This softshell keeps up with the performance of a hardshell—it’s waterproof and breathable with all the mobility a harness-bearing mountaineer would require—but does so with frigid days in mind.
Don’t start assuming this extra insulation adds too much bulk. Mammut mobility technology allows you to wrangle your way up technical features and 4-way stretch incorporated into the Primaloft provides an additional agility boost. Plenty of other details lend a helping hand to your busy ones. If you get hungry on the route up you can still reach the snacks in your pockets, and the hood and hem cinch up to block out cold wind and snow.
If you really wanted 100% windproofing, then your best option would be a trash bag. Although fully windproof, the Houdini Men’s Air 2 Air Wind Jacket lets a little bit of air in to stay breathable enough for active endeavors on the mountain. Its fabric is so light and packable that you can stow the jacket in its own chest pocket for compact storage in full backpacks. Houdini treated the jacket’s fabric with DWR to shed light moisture, because with wind in the alpine usually comes a bit of rain.
The Haglöfs Men’s L.I.M. Comp Jacket combines Gore-Tex waterproofing with a rando-friendly weight so you can tour the backcountry with a lighter weight while staying dry in deep snow. The L.I.M. Comp features Gore-Tex Active for reliable waterproofing and amplified breathability for a performance specific to touring and rando racing. To maintain minimalism, the L.I.M. Comp has elastic bindings around the hem, hood, and cuffs to keep a secure fit in the simplest style. The hand pockets have mesh bag linings to double as ventilators when you’re sweating and setting the skin track.
So this is the new haggle of the comp. Jacket which is in new gore-tex active. Shell and then it’s em their new. Gore-tex active shell is a fabric is. Designed to be worn up against the skin and so it’s got a really comfortable backer in it and it’s also designed to be really nice light and very. Breathable so it’s got re t over 3 so. That means you can use it for high. Aerobic activities and for situations. When you do offer a lot of temperature alert burn it temperature differential between the inside and outside the jacket so it still breathes really well and this jacket with a face fabric of. This jacket is really light so it’s a small packing lightweight jacket okay all the features that are designed for. Fast light activities through their pockets are also bent and then the wrist. Wrist band is just an elasticated response it goes on and off really well and doesn’t slip up any moisture and. Then there is it there’s just a. Water-resistant is it but it’s still got a backer on it to stop it leaking and really bad conditions and then the hood. Is designed so it just pulls up over the head and you’ve got this extra little flap here which just makes it in really. Well and you can move around and you can. Still see things when you’re and in high wind situations it doesn’t need a wired peak because it’s got the same solid a solid two pair feet in it and. Then when you hover the jacket where likelihood and pull it up really tight it’s got this mastication around the neck which means it comes up really tight onto the chin so even without the. Beauty keeps it tight on both the back of your neck onto your chin so you end up with a almost perfect seal really. Well very good to see you around piece of neck this jacket is ideal for and lightweight. Fast and light activities in the summer for mountain biking running hill walking. Fast light situations and it’s a very. Comfortable fit with long reach arms so it’s said you can adapt it to use for. Just about any situation in the fast light situations.

This is from the octave ox fleece light range and is the zip neck it has. Tasmanian merino on the inside and it’s. In a waffle construction which kind of helps keep the moisture away it feels. Really nice really soft it’s as well. Got a double layer at the top to help with the wind although it’s advertised as a fleece i think this would be really nice as a base layer as well it’s a really cool color. And it comes in blue and gray as well it. Has obviously this zipper on the front which makes it quite easy to get on and. Off it’s a bit of a lower zip than you would usually see and it’s just it’s just a really nice feel looks like it’d. Just be really nice on whether it was winter or going for a walk in the summer actually this is priced at 120 pounds. Which considering the versatility of the product i think is pretty good i can. Definitely see me using that ski touring and like i said perfect in the summer as. A mid layer as well.
Every little bit of warmth is precious when you’re in the alpine. Black Diamond designed the Forge Hoodie to retain warmth on ice-cold alpine walls, wind-blasted ridges, and frigid transitions. While incredibly warm, down can be tricky to wear in a storm because it loses its insulating properties once it gets wet. Black Diamond put a DWR treatment on the 700-fill down and the Pertex Microlight fabric for some protection from light precipitation. Underarm gussets give you a wide range of motion on the ascent, and the whole jacket stows in its chest pocket with a carabiner loop so you can easily clip it to your harness or stuff it in your pack when the sun pokes out.
Well hey everybody i just stopped for lunch so I’m gonna get some water on the. Boil and then we’re gonna talk about the black diamond hot forge jacket I’ve just. Got a bunch of small twigs I’m gonna put. In there and on my way in i collected a. Bunch of this cedar bark just gonna use about half of it there. Rough it up a little bit things like a. Jet engine. Already boiling in about four minutes with just that much wood just a couple. Chunks and you’re good. So whenever i wear a new coat in one of. My videos you guys always ask what code is that so today we’re gonna look at this one this is the black diamond hot forged jacket now i believe they make this jacket for 2016 in four different versions you can get it in a non hooded version like I’m wearing a hooded version you can also get it in a down blend or in all down i went for the down. Blend because it is lighter weight and more pack able now with a jacket that’s. This pack able something that i can shed as an actual layer i didn’t go with the hood i like to sometimes throw a jacket on over it if it’s really cold i can wear this jacket down to about maybe 20 25 degrees with something as small as just a t-shirt or in this case just a long-sleeve shirt underneath and I’m quite warm today the temperatures right around 30 degrees if it got any warmer i could just shed this layer off throw it in my pack very easily and continue on. Generally the coat that i would throw over this would have a hood so it doesn’t bother me not to have a hood in this style jacket the black diamond hot forged jacket comes at a bare minimum weight it only weighs 13 ounces and you. Get maximum insulation value it’s got a pertex quantum shell with a dwr coating I’ve worn this in the heavy wet snow. I’ve worn it in the rain and it does shed the water quite well and does dry. Relatively fast the jackets got to fleece lined pockets on the side very. Large for things like keys phone they do zip which is nice you can zipper in your. Contents to keep them from falling out when you’re hiking for example is this. Jacket also has a nice pocket here something that you could throw maybe a compass a snack bar in or your keys your phone something like that what i really like about that pocket up front is that. It rides below the sternum strap so when you’re wearing a backpack your sternum strap goes right about here and you could still access that pocket that’s a problem on some other jackets that I’ve tried where it’s up a little bit higher and the sternum strap gets in the way you have to unstrap and access the pocket that was another thing i really like about this jacket is that the collar area is a felt line so that when. You zip it up it doesn’t scratch your. Face or anything like that it’s very comfortable to wear even when you have it zipped all the way up it’s got very nice cuffs on it they are elastic, so they fit right down around your hands if you wear a glove you can simply just stretch that over the glove and you don’t get the gloves overlapping with the coat it’s very comfortable right down into the sleeves inside each pocket. There’s a little tab that you can pull and you can shorten the short cord with. This cord lock here and what that does is it basically just draws in the bottom. Of the coat i leave it wide open and i find that it’s got a great form-fitting shape without having to mess with it on. The inside on both sides you do have a large dump style pocket there for stashing more things and then you have a single ykk zip very easy to zip and it. Is seam sealing here so that it does come together when you zip up the jacket absolutely no wind gets through this coat and it maintains its warmth when it’s hugged right against your body the best feature of this coat is that it’s really lightweight and really small. But still packs a lot of warmth as you. Can see you can take it off and you can stuff this thing right down too almost. Nothing take up takes up no room in your pack if. You put it in a dry bag you can even get it a lot smaller but that’s great it’s. Ash edible layer that’s actually quiet. Warm and can actually be worn on its own now this jacket is a down blend so it. Has 70% goose down in it and then 30% primal opt fibers which gives you good. Durability it maintains its warmth when. Wet and it also gives you that super light capability of being able to pack it down and be very minimal and when. You’re wearing it this is a great jacket for hikers backpackers even camping or. Even people like me that just go out in the woods everyday on a day hike i can wear it even when the temperatures are very cold and don’t have to worry about getting it wet and i stay warm all day. With just a t-shirt on the inside now. Of course, you could layer up on the inside and take this coat even warmer again in the really cold i throw a jacket on over it works great for when your hammock camping you can take this off you can maybe wrap it around your head you can wrap it around your feet and give those areas where it’s needed a little bit extra warmth they also sent along one of their balaclavas this thing is awesome it’s very lightweight it’s made out of a very comfortable material i use something like this when i am at camp give my head and face a little bit extra warmth need it the balaclava can also be worn several ways including just like this as a neck gaiter so it’s very versatile with this stretchy material alright guys so hope you’ve enjoyed taking a look at the black diamond hat for jacket awesome jacket from black diamond I’m gonna leave a link below to their website where you can check out this jacket and other items that they.
