Perfect!
For running, hiking, hanging out- anything. Looks great and well made just like much of MH products. I'm amazed at how I can run 10 miles in this vest and stay warm and still have the vest breathe.
cannot live without
this vest is absolutely PERFECT. it's not to bulky and it is extremely warm. it's nice to be able to throw this on without worrying about a jacket. very fashionable as i can dress it up or dress it down. i ordered a small and it was a little shorter than i expected but it is not tight fitting in the least. i will highly recommend this vest to anyone. it's worth every single penny!!! a must have!!!
Great layering piece
The windstopper vest has a nice athletic fit. Not in the warmth range of a down vest, but incredible insulation for its light weight and low bulk. The only con I find to MH Windstopper items is that the texture is a lint/pet hair magnet. serves well for ski days, camping and general cool day wear around town. All in all a great piece.
I love it!
Light weight, great color, very versatile vest!
Essential piece of all activity kit.
Well what can I say, this is the most used piece of my kit that I have ever bought. So much so in fact that I am about to get myself 2 more and kit out all my staff at our mountain lodge in the Cordillera Blanca with them. It is so versatile that I use it for canoeing, trekking, MTB, Mountaineering, rock climbing, paragliding, skiing... I tried it swimming but it didn't work so well.:-) Just be careful with the sizing , especially if you a are a daft Brit like myself my original was XL(british) so reorder my new one through Altrec XL (american) it was like a tent, but Altrec were great on exchanging it, even when I finally got it back to the USA from Peru. Go for a relatively tight fit, with just enough space for a microfleece and icebreaker micro base layer underneath. it gives plenty of arm movement and is awesome as part of my mountaineering layering system, whether on super fast rescue sorties or guiding those super slow pesky clients. If you absolutely, positively, want the must have piece of clothing then accept no substitute.... Oh and the jacket version doesn't work out so well, get's too clammy, not so breathable as I would like.
