Mountain Hardwear Torch Jacket - Women's
Brand : Mountain HardwearItem : MHW0205
The Mountain Hardwear Women's Torch Jacket represents the evolution of softshells. The hooded jacket weighs under a pound making it an obvious choice for backcountry skiers and ice climbers on sunny days. Mountain Hardwear built the Torch Jacket with a Gore WindStopper laminate and underarm zippers; this way the fabric can be extremely thin but still offer the breathability and wind protection you've come to expect from softshells. Mountain Hardwear welded all the Torch Jacket's seams instead of stitching them. Welding the seams makes the jacket more compressible when it's packed, easier to move in, and more wind-resistant. Articulated sleeves allow you to naturally swing an ice axe without pulling up your coat, and the soft flannel-knit lining means you'll be at least a little comfy hanging onto those axes stuck into vertical ice.

Mountain Hardwear Torch Jacket - Women's
Good
This jacket is great. Very light, keeps me dry and warm. Very comfortable compared to other rain jackets. Mountain Hardwear doesn't claim that it's waterproof, but Backpacker Magazine did and I agree. Wind doesn't get through either, even though it is very thin. It's much thinner than the Arc'teryx Gamma SV for instance, and in my opinion, more comfortable and practical. It also packs to a small size. I'll mostly be using this in the summer, so I'm expecting that this will be the only jacket I'll need to bring anymore. It does run small though. Bought a 10, which fits more like an 8. Make sure you size up if you want to layer underneath it.
compliments up the wazoo!!!!
This is a very versatile jacket that has not let me down yet, and don't really see how it can. The only thing to note is the women's model does not have a detachable hood, or a chest pocket. Both two things that I personally am glad are not on the jacket. Extremely comfortable and layerable and super light weight. One descriptive word: perfect.
