Review 1 for Men's Mountain Tech™ Jacket
Who doesn't like a fleece jacket?
This one beats the competition easily. You can't find another fleece with the same features as the Mountain Tech.
You can even wear it in light rain without getting soaked.

Review 2 for Men's Mountain Tech™ Jacket
Finally had some nice chilly weather to test this jacket. Very warm for a lightweight jacket, but best of all it completely stops the wind (unlike my Denali fleece). Love the fit, and the easy stretch material does not constrict when reaching or climbing. Watched the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain in late October and was perfectly warm despite some very high winds and cool temps.

Perfect jacket for the south. Very lightweight, but does an excellent job of breaking the wind. Is my go to jacket on windy days. It is also a plus that the jacket is water resistant enough for wear on wet rainy days with a light rain or drizzle. The pockets are located a little to high for me.
I would recommend this product.

I have had this jacket since it was first put on the market several years ago. It is just now starting to fall apart after almost continuous use for about 5 years. It's been one of the greatest investments I have ever made in my life. I am short and stocky and wear an XL. I still have enough room for mid-weight thermals and a Pendleton wool shirt or a thin fleece. It is not a stand alone. When I lived in a rural cold mountainous area it wasn't warm enough Dec. to Feb. I wear a Mountain Hardware shell over the top when it rains as I live in the Pacific Northwest now. I love it so much I am still wearing it raggedy and all. I haven't decided if I'm going to upgrade or buy the same one again since my hard shell still has a lot of life left in it.
I would recommend this product.

This jacket is a classic that should be part of any outdoor enthusiast's gear. From casual to extreme hiker, or from someone who makes a living working out in mother nature to life on the town. This jacket looks good, has as solid of materials as they come, blocks the wind, fits well, and allows great range of motion. While working on wind gust mountains to chilling and damp offshore islands I basically lived in this jacket. Wouldn't trade it for anything!
I would recommend this product.

Great fit, good cut, the material is better than any regular fleece, it's somewhere between a fleece and a jacket. Some might not realize, but the lighter segments of cloth are just fleece with a cloth backing. The fleece itself is a very dense high quality, and the segments of darker fabric (is this nylon?) are very wind resistant - I was surprised at how little air gets through. The jacket will get you through light showers, and the underarm vents are great for keeping cool without having to take the top off.
I would recommend this product.

Excellent jacket! This is my second purchase of the same item. My first generation Mountain Tech Jacket was a bit too short, I appreciate the extra length in this new generation. My only complaint is that I miss the internal pocket.
I would recommend this product.

This is my second one of these jackets. The other one finally started falling apart after 6 years of hard use in the forests. The newer models (I purchased my new one in 2012) seems to have longer arms than the old one which is a great improvement to an already excellent jacket. It's a little heavy for spring and fall in the Southeast US but perfect as a winter coat down here. I'd recommend that you pick one up.
I would recommend this product.

This is the second MH Mountain Tech jacket I've owned - the previous one used the Goretex WindStopper coating as opposed to the new AirShield windproof fleece.
This new model jacket fits me perfectly, with room for a midlayer underneath if warranted, but I use it with just a long sleeve wool baselayer if active. I am 6'1, 165lb.
This jacket performs great for hiking and mountaineering down to about ~30/35F. I've always used mine like a pure soft shell, even for climbing - particularly because the arms and articulation points use soft-shell material that prevent me ripping the jacket to shreds on the rock. Windproof with minimal insulation means I'm not cold due to wind but not overheating either during an ascent with much more freedom of movement and comfort in the body due to the fleece.
My only qualm (reason for lack of five stars) is that for low activity or casual wear the new "AirShield Windproof fleece" breathes too well. The Polartec WindStopper in the previous model kept me warm whether in the city or mountaineering but required venting with the pitzips under any active use.
The "AirShield" definitely moves the jacket into a better performing category for active use, but lessens casual use down to temps ~50/60F with high wind.
I would recommend this product.

Very nice, high quality fleece jacket. Fits nicely without any bulk. This is the second one of these that I own. The original one was the older style which was nice in itself. The new model is nicely improved. It will be a casual-wear jacket. I wear the original one as a interior layer underneath my wool hunting clothes and it is perfect for that because of the lack of bulk. Highly recommend this item.
I would recommend this product.

I love this jacket. I was a little indecisive about the size though. I am 6'0" and about 170 lbs. I got a large and felt that the extra large would be too big. My arms are long so I was trying to decide if the large would have enough coverage on my arms or not. It does. I would not recommend wearing a large sweater or sweatshirt underneath though. I think the garment is made to wear with lighter clothing to make the jacket functionable. Blocks the wind wonderfully.
I would recommend this product.

My son wanted/received this jacket for Christmas and he wears it EVERY day! Great all weather jacket! He even put the sleeve under the faucet and could not believe how the water rolled off the sleeve and did not penetrate! The best jacket ever!

Looks great but fron zippered pockets are a little high and difficult to get into. Desing could be better. I would recommend but at a lower price

This is a great jacket. I love that it is windproof...which makes it much warmer than a standard fleece jacket. The softshell panels make it extremely durable. The fit is great too. I'm 5'8", 190 lbs with a 42" chest, and I got a size large.
I would recommend this product.

This is far and away the best jacket I own. I've had this jacket for over two years now after trying similar products from different brands and the difference is night and day. This jacket actually does stop wind, does stop water and is very tough and durable while being pretty warm too. It is the first jacket I grab when heading outside for any reason. I've taken this backpacking in Norway, use it when I ride my bike in the cold weather in Chicago and just for everyday use too. Truly a great jacket, you won't regret buying it.
I would recommend this product.

Soft and comfortable to wear. Fabric moves well. Was worried about fit, being an older guy, but fits great with just enough room to fit another later underneath when cold.
I would recommend this product.

I have had this jacket for about a year now and love it. Didn't think that I would like the high side pockets but they work great. The jacket is warm fits good and looks great! This is my go to jacket for day hikes or just around town!
I would recommend this product.
