Fabulous year-around jacket.
This jacket feels great as a stand-alone during late spring, summer, early fall; or can be worn by layering with winter clothing. Either way, it looks and feels great year-around.

I had to replace a worn out rain jacket. The Epic is lightweight. The fit is good. Very satisfied - as usual - with Mountain Hardware products.

good jacket for the price.
I had this jacket for about two years and kept me dry during the raining season of northern Cal. After the two years the Conduit coasting start to peel off. Send it back to MH for warranty. Good customer service so far. MH said will replace it with a Cohesion jacket.

True Mountain Hardwear Quality
Purchased the Epic due to excessive business travel around the globe and the ability to "pack" an easy, lightweight, and waterproof jacket into my backpack or suitcase. Bottom line, it's exceeded my expectations in both heavy rain and cool weather. For the price, you can't go wrong. FYI, size is true to fit.

Great Performance while drinking beer at the big game
I love this jacket! I am a Big fan of tailgating at the Ol' Alma Mater and this jacket has served me very well. If you are like me and not planning on hiking the Appalachian Trail or going biking in this jacket (BTW, go buy a jacket designed for that use, Genius) you will be greatly pleased- It is light weight, breathes, and offers great protection in the elements. Follow the intructions and treat it as directed. If you're planning on being caught in a downpour spend the $$$ ond get the Gore-tex or buy the PVC raincat and sweat it out. Pounds vs. Performance this is the best deal going.

Excellent 4 Season Jacket!
This jacket is perfect for all seasons. All the details of this jacket are perfect. The pocket is perfectly attatched and very useful, the hood fits well w/ a helmet on. The zippers and seams are very well constructed. You can roll around in the dirt with this with like 10 mountain lions on you, it just wears that well. I use this for all sports incuding biking, kayaking, tennis, and hiking. This is also good for out and about

One thing people haven't mentioned is that this jacket is also phenomenal for technical mountain pursuits...climbing, alpine, etc. Only 11 oz, self-stowable, relatively breathable, athletic cut/fit. This is my second Epic jacket.

stylish, waterproof and cool
After losing my TNF mountainlight jacket I was in search of a new rain jacket. I like the inside lining (hated the coolmax mesh). The jacket is stylish and kept me dry on raining days. I got a good deal at Adventure's Edge in Arcata, CA. The forks there are great.

A well fitting functional jacket.
I ordered the jacket to replace my military gore-tex when working away from bases. I was really pleased with the fit, I am 5 ft 6 inches and weigh 170lb so I needed a large. At first I thought it would be really long in length, but all was well, fit was perfect. A must have for anyone needing a good water-proof shell.

After having two Marmot Precip wear out within a year I switched to the Epic Jacket. The Epic has great design details and more importantly keeps you dry. It is also light and packable and definately kept the wind off in a recent trip to Patagonia.

Perfect Light Shell
I got this jacket for 80 and it has performed magnificently. Got it for backpacking and mainly mountain biking. Had it on a 3-day in Colorado, on the second day it started hailing, then just rained all night. Sucked. But I popped out my epic jacket, stayed more or less dry (not even gore-tex XCR will keep you dry from sweat while biking), biked back to camp, and wandered around there for about 4 hours in pouring rain. Totally dry. I was indubitably impressed. The breathability is surprisingly good-I'd say the best I've ever tried. Packed size and weight are awesome. As far as downsides, I dunno...my forearms tend to stick to the coating when it's really humid out, but that's in like 90% humidity, 80 degrees in Missouri miserableness...never move here. But the Epic jacket is well worth twice the price. P.S. The pit zips are the best feature.

Fantastic
Breathes incredibly well. I tested inside with a down jacket underneath, barely sweated. With a gore tex jacket you'd be drenched indoors with that set up. Then absolute comfort on a cold, rainy day in the Gunks' in October. The pit zips are a fantastic feature at such a low price. Totally incredible value for a waterproof jacket. The front "GPS" pocket is a little small, but a minor detail.

Lightweight Rain Jacket
When talking about rain jackets, they say that soft shell is supposed to replace the rain jacket. But in the Northwest, I don't think you want to completely give up your rain jacket. Breathable is good for while you are moving, but if you are hiking or backpacking you have to stop eventually and you don't want something that is sorta rain proof. You want waterproof. Having a breathable layer for when you are moving, and then a really waterproof layer for when you stop is what's necessary to stay warm.

This jacket is not only great looking but it's highly functional. When it's chilly & pouring down rain this jacket is the one I reach for, because there is no way I'll get wet while wearing the Epic from Mountain Hardwear. It's so very light that when it's packed you don't even realize it's there. You can't go wrong with this outstanding jacket.

BUY THIS COAT, IT WORKS
This jacket is the new direction of rain protection. Gore-tex is an amazing product, but lightweight minimalist outerwear is the way to go. I wear this jacket in any weather, and the vents keep me cool when its humid. I wore the Epic for a month in Alaska and it performed as well if not better than the 300-500 dollar parkas others in my company wore. Another benefit is that my Epic jacket and Epic pants (also great) together compressed to smaller than their parkas alone. You wont be dissapointed with this product

THis jacket is the summation of perfect rainwear. I wore it for a week straight in Colorado in heavy rain, and I stayed dry and actually not too hot. It DOES breathe, and huge pit zips and chest vents work flawlessly. It is actually quite durable, and is utterly waterproof. It is far and away the best jacket ever used for rain. I cannot imagine a better jacket for summer downpours and all-round packable, LIGHT but functional raingear.

epic in shedding rain
As I wander through the canyon of Stough I cannot help but smile with my Epic Jacket. I am please to announce that this jacket has proven itself on my jaunts along the Pacific Crest Trail. With the extremely lenghty pit zips i am able to reach true hiking homeostatis. In light rain this jacket proved itself in shedding and beading the droplets of consistent percipitation. This jacket has a solid sewn construction. With strategic pocket placements and a rollup hood velcro enclosure this jacket is my new choice in light breathable raingear.

Very good jacket for price
Works great, waterproof and really breathable. I tend to accumulate moisture under waterproof jackets when wearing during exertion. No problem with this jacket. As other reviewers noted, fit is a bit loose for size, while I got an XL, and usually need one, I probably could have gone with an L. Not too happy with the way the hood stows, creates a weird shape against your neck, so I just leave it unstowed. Wish the sleeves had an elastic gathering in addition to the velcro snugger. Love the light weight and stuffability.

Good gear
This is a good jacket. I have used this for about 6 months. It keeps the water out and provides great protection from the elements. It does not feel sticky or clamy. My one complain is the loose fit, would like to see a more athletic fit.

Was this Mountain Hardwear Epic Jacket Review Helpful? - Yes - No

The best $99 rain jacket available
The epic has a great fit and the features you need (pit zips, venting pockets, adequate hood) when it's pouring. You could pay twice as much for a Gore-Tex jacket (Mountain Hardwear has one) but I'm not sure you get a much better jacket than the Epic.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

Great jacket
Lighter than I thought it was going to be but it does a great job keeping you nice and dry. Zipper isn't always smooth but otherwise well worth the price specially since it was on sale

Is this Useful? - Yes - No
