“Ordered a Medium 96cm Regular length. I am 177cm, 92 cm chest and it is a perfect fit. Managed to order it when the sale was on and got it for $75. It looks like it was never used. I have had some decent mountaineering gear in the past and currently have a Gore-tex jacket, but this MVP jacket puts it to shame. To buy similar quality/functionality from Mont/North Face/Rab etc it would cost at least $600.”
“Quality of the item is awesome. Zipper is good quality, and the material is surprisingly lightweight but seems to be quite durable. Hood stows away nicely and when matched with a brimmed cap, will keep me dry. Reckon this will serve me well hunting and hiking for many years to come. Delivery was quick too!”
“The good:
Jacket in excellent condition; outer fabric excellent, no de-lamination, seam-seals in excellent condition, external DWR present.
The bad:
A pocket, a pocket, my kingdom for a pocket. No pockets - not one, even the one that was there was cut away (goodness knows why...)
The Ugly
OMG - what is that smell??? The jacket as arrived was unwearable due to the smell. Professional laundering managed to reduce the smell by half, the rest tackled with some febreeze. Now somewhat wearable, maybe prolonged airing will help.”
