Built tough and proven by ski patrol use--this waterproof and breathable parka won't break down.
Ski patrol proven, the Exposure Parka is built to withstand the rigors of daily alpine use. Made with a dual layer of waterproof and breathable fabric, it features a UV resistant outer layer designed to help the parka maintain its performance even after long-term exposure to intense high altitude sun. Despite the polyester reinforcements to resist abrasion from rock and ice, this shell is remarkably supple and exceptionally comfortable. The Simplex pit zips allow ventilation around the mesh-lined CoolMax torso liner and a powder skirt with gripper elastic keeps snow outside the parka. A specially designed Ergo Hood moves with your head to keep your peripheral vision unimpaired. A buckled webbing strap on back of the hood adjusts with a quick tug from one hand. The Napoleon pocket gives you complete access to the inside of the parka without unzipping the front zipper. There's even a inner pocket that's big enough to hold a quart-sized bottle of your favorite beverage.

Great Shell
Great quality for a good price, what more can you ask for? MH is a great brand and I love this sell. I'm 6'1 and 175lbs and a medium fit me perfectly, the sleeves are super long as well. I'm mainly going to use this shell for skiing in VT next winter.

I ordered this in spring so I have yet to try it in any cold weather, yet it is well made and stops a little breeze and a dash of rain easily. I am 5' 8" and there is plenty of room to layer. In fact enough that for me it may be too much to wear it just a shirt underneath(which is typically how I hike--light clothes, light pack and a jacket). I will see if I can update about winter later.

Always able to count on MH
I have owned previous jackets, parkas, fleeces from MH and they have all held up exceptionally. A quick treatment with ReviveX makes the waterproofing as good as new. The materials are sturdy and durable wether scrambling up a rock face or glissading down a snow covered slope it has held up over the test of time. The fit of this parka seems to run a bit bigger than what I'm usually in. Lots of storage options an the powder skirts stays where it is supposed to be. I just wish the hood was a little deeper to more easily accommodate a helmet better. But otherwise for the price, the exposure parka is a steal and I would certainly buy another in 7 years when this one is blown out!

Very nice shell
Finally got away from 3 in 1 jackets and bought this as my first shell for a layering system. Has exceeded my expectation in the first few trips out on the mountain. Keeps the cold and wet out and allows me to keep under layers to a minimum. Great jacket!
