Mountain Hardwear Compressor PL Jacket - Women's

 Brand : Mountain Hardwear
Item : MHW0449
One of Mountain Hardwear's proudest offerings, the Women's Compressor PL Jacket can keep you warmer and drier than down and most other synthetics. Insulated with Primaloft One, the Compresser PL owes its name to the fact that it holds its loft even after being compressed for hours. Stuff it into your pack and skin up, and then layer it beneath your waterproof shell before dropping into the chutes. When worn without a shell, the Compressor insulates even when wet and maintains high thermal value at an incredibly light weight. Fleece-lined hand pockets give your cold hands a soft, warm haven when you're caught without gloves. Stash your car keys in the inner zip pocket to guarantee you'll have a way home when you're wiped out from raiding hidden pow stashes all day long.

Mountain Hardwear Compressor PL Jacket - Women's



my favorite coat!
Bought this just to wear around town, but it works for all my activities. I have it in the black/shark and it fits in well in an urban environment. It’s also my favorite backcountry coat. It’s warmer and more compressible than fleece, lighter than a down coat, water resistant, soft against the skin. It takes up no room in a pack when backcountry skiing or backpacking, and I wear it under my shell when lift skiing. It’s also the perfect travel coat. The pockets zip shut, it works for city or play, and makes a great pillow for the plane.


Surprise Hit!
I bought this jacket in bright pink (cuz it was on sale) and in what I thought would be a large size for me, to fit over everything. When I first saw the bright color I thought I would have to return it, but once I wore it I fell in love with it despite its hue. FYI: Mountain Hardwear seems to NOT supersize their clothes, and for me a 6 is perfect (usually i wear XS to S). I would have guessed a 4 would be the right size, but I would have been wrong. Anyway, I love this jacket. I wear it all the time - around town in the winter on cold days, in the office when the heat is down low, and recently up on a El Pico de Orizaba in Mexico at 18000+ feet. It is super comfy and ultra lightweight, and is a great insulating layer, or perfect for around town on its own.


my new favorite
Love this jacket. It will be a perfect 3 season warm layer. Packs small and is light. The fit is great, no motion restrictions, and yea on the arm length!


Mountain Hardwear Women's Compressor Jacket
This jacket is very light, very comfortable, and provides just the right amount of warmth either alone or under a shell. I was extremely happy that the length of the sleeves was just right, and the zippers don't catch the fabric exterior. I wish the jacket had "pit zips", but other than that, it is a wonderful addition to my winter wardrobe. Pockets are convenient and large enough to be useful.


can't go wrong with this jacket!
Super versatile and one of the nicest synthetic jackets you can find. Offers great warmth for how light and packable it is -- way superior to a fleece. Great on its own in cool weather (surprisingly warm and windproof) or layered under a shell or heavy jacket on cold days. Great for layering because warm without the bulk. The nylon is super thin but has proved very durable after 2 years of wear. Great jacket for traveling (incl use as a pillow). Use the sizing chart and you should find a good fit. One of the best investments I've ever made.
