Mt. Rainier is the tallest Mountain in Washington State and when you are bivying at the base of Interglaicer, in order to make your moonlit summit bid, warmth and protection from the weather is priority #1. Those who know and understand this pick the Mountain Hardwear Compressor PL Jacket for Men as their synthetic insulation piece because it has a great warmth-to-weight ratio and continues to insulate even when wet.
Perfect for cold weather
Nice jacket on its own or as a liner. I returned it because of the shiny
coating and color (08 model). Nothing wrong with it by any means and the
quality is quite good, as is the sizing which seems pretty true. Can't beat
the folks at Altrec either. Very good people to work with too.
I love this jacket
My Dad bought last years model and told me to hold it. I was hooked. It was so light I couldn't believe it. I had to have one so I did some investigating and found it on here for a great price. I recieved mine today. I was worried because I read they run small. I wear XXL and it fits right for an athletic cut. I love it and can't wait to hit the town in it. Also shipping was super fast!!!
Warm, lightweight jacket
This is a very warm but lightweight jacket. It is "fitted" to eliminate excess space around your body that you would have to heat. When it gets really cold I put a Gortex over it and stay toasty warm. Down would be a little warmer but it requires some care to keep it clean and DRY. Plus if a down jacket gets a snag the down pours out. I highly recommend this jacket.

Comfortable wear
Very warm and very comfortable to wear. Although the jacket is thin, it keeps the cold out very well.
Great fitting in the MH tradition.
Love this jacket, great by itself on hikes or snowshoeing. Great layered under a shell for really cold days snowboarding. Just a great overall jacket.
Great all-around winter jacket
I bought these to use as insulating layer for outdoors, and ended up using them almost everyday. Light and warm and pretty stylish too, not puffy at all. The chin guard on the collar is really nice. They don't really breathe so I had to take them off when snowshoeing to prevent overheating. But that's not a fault for this type of garment. My only concern is with the fabric, its so thin I'm afraid to rip it on something I bump into, like doorways, but so far it stood up well.
Awesome jacket. Very high warmth to weight ratio!
I was looking for an insulated jacket that wouldn't be puffy but would still be warm. After receiving it and seeing how thin it actually was, I was a little skeptical. As soon as you put it on and zip it up, though, you can feel your body heat getting trapped and you begin to feel the warmth right away. I tested this over a t-shirt in 15-20 degree weather as soon as I got it and was not cold at all. Amazing warmth to weight ratio! Thought it would be just a good base layer but now I know it can easily stand alone in very cold weather. Primaloft One is one of the best synthetics I've ever seen.
Wonderful
It's absolutely true-this jacket is excellent. It's extremely warm: to try this out when it first arrived, I went for a 30 minute walk in 5 degree, low winds weather with just a long sleeve t-shirt underneath, and was very comfortable. Also used it with a shell on a 30 degree snowy day snowshoeing and again felt great.
I've pretty much worn it every day since it arrived, in a variety of conditions and in a variety of temperatures and have been completely comfortable. While I love my down jacket, this is so much less cumbersome yet equally as warm.
Lastly, Altrec's pre-holiday sale gave a great great price on the jacket, and the shipping was free and pretty fast.
Great jacket
Lightwieght and very warm. Easy to travel with.
Nice Thin
I bought it for my 21 year old son.
It is a very nice jacket to own. But he said, "too shinny" The quality is quite good, as is the sizing which seems pretty true. So, he kept it since it was a gift. He would prefer "North Face"
