TrailVerse GORE-TEX Jacket - Men's

Solid

Overall this is a great rain shell. I think the one flaw is that for whatever reason, the interior of the pockets tends to get wet--this might be because of the design of the pocket openings, I'm not sure. But the other parts stay dry. It looks good, I've gotten compliments from strangers on it. The color is a lot more on the orange side than the photos online, which look more red, but it's a good and unusual color. Most important from my perspective, the sleeves are nice and long--it's a good fit for a tall person.

rainbow delight

These colors have to go, really! and while your at it, add exterior zip pocket for my glasses. Why don't you do one better and bring back the old version it worked for me.

Great jacket if you have extendo stretch arms

I really like it other than the fact that the sleeves are quite a bit longer than I had anticipated. I had to roll the sleeves up but other than that, I really love it.

Good but a few misses

I bought this to replace the same jacket that was at least 10 years old. The jacket runs big, so once I exchanged for a medium (5’10” 185lbs) the fit was great. It seems well made but is definitely missing some features my old one had. My biggest complaint is the lack of pockets. It has one small inside zippered pocket that won’t even hold a cell phone (old version had an outside chest pocket and two large inside pockets. Also side vents have replaced pit zips so it remains to be seen how well those vent. You can do better MHW!

Dark Copper isn't Red - Very orange color.

The "dark copper" color isn't red at all, it's actually very orange. Sadly it's not even close to the images so I have to return it. Solid made jacket otherwise. Really disappointed to have to send it back.

goretex is still the best

I know goretex leaves forever chemicals and i’m not sure I would have only one made custom for me, but let’s face it - the jacket has been made. I am also sick of buying rain coats that are more water resistant than water proof. if you are running between your car and a building, everything works. it’s when you are stuck I. the rain for an hour or more that you start learning the meaning of water proof and water anything else. I have bought the products to rewatwrproof my jackets and nothing works. in winter I have a blaklader water proof jacket that is rubberized or something. It’s a beast - but wear one in anything but sub 40 temperatures and wearing plastic sweats to make weight for high school wrestling is what comes to mind. this jacket simply works, you can position the hood so it doesn’t block your vision, I am tall and this is still a really good length.

Great fit, Favourite jacket i own!

I had this jacket bookmarked for over 6 months before I finally bought it. Very happy with it, fit is roomy and quality is great. I bought the slate blue colour which looks more navy in the photos but is a bit lighter and true slate blue in person. Windproof, waterproof, comfortable, longer in the back fit like other Mountain Hardwear jackets i've purchased. Love it.

I love it.

I love this jacket. And I don’t write usually care to write these. I purchased this for a versatile, durable, waterproof shell that I can get dirty while working outside and then wash off and wear to the office in shoulder season weather (or winter with enough under it). It was meant to be a replacement to my last bad$&@ shell from Mountain Hardwear, the Sharkstooth something or other, and so far it is doing just that! My only hope is that Mountain Hardwear will be able to move away from Goretex soon so we can all stay dry without worrying about the environmental impact of it.

Quality Gore-Tex Jacket

Disclaimer: I haven’t used this in the rain yet. Just wanted to give initial impressions, sizing, etc. High quality piece of gear. Seams, stitching, zippers, pulls are all good quality. I like the hood being separate from the collar, despite the additional fabric adding weight. I am 5’9” and about 165 lbs and wear a small.
