winter biking?? December 23, 2009
elkutsch (minneapolis, mn)
i bought this jacket for winter bike riding in minneapolis. once you get going this lightweight jacket does the trick. on cold days its worth wearing a decent wicking shirt, but this jacket is totally worth the money. on a windy day in seattle this year i was wearing a heavy duty carhartt hoodie and switched between that and the windstopper, and the difference was night and day. good for pretty much any condition.
Excellent for Running December 12, 2009

I got this jacket for early morning runs in below-freezing New York City weather. It's perfect. I pretty much never get cold wearing it. But it's also not overly warm. I sweat a bit, but for the most part, this jacket keeps me dry.
Gore Windstopper November 21, 2009
Mike (Rockford, IL)
This is by far the best fleece that I have ever owned. It lives up to its name, it does stop the wind and is much warmer than I expected. Besides the great looks the jacket has pit zips which come in handy when you start your hike in the cold and then it warms up or your body temperature increases due to activity you can open them up and cool you off.
Quality construction from a well known outdoor clothing company.
Don't compare to winter jackets. Very nice light windbreaker. April 26, 2009

There are lots of reviews on the Internet for the Mountain Hardwear Windstopper jacket. Hundreds of reviews. After reading many, I thought this must be the greatest jacket ever! After all, owners say it is very light, completely windproof and very warm. Who wants a heavy jacket if an extremely light jacket does it all?
Well... I'd say this is an amazing piece of clothing when compared against a flannel shirt or sweatshirt. It is vastly superior to these tops if you are hiking and need to worry about pack weight. It is quite lightweight and if any wind can penetrate it, I haven't been able to notice. But... It really isn't a "warm jacket". It will take the edge off of temperatures that are a little too cool. It does not compare well to warm jackets when warmth matters. It is not more windproof than other jackets. And given its cost, I probably would question a recommendation for layering. A Lands End Marinac will do the same as a layer for less than half of the price.
The jacket is stylish, holds up well and I don't feel a need to take special care to protect it. The fit is a little different. Have you ever pushed up sweatshirt sleeves to your elbows and then pulled them back to your wrists? The Windstopper sleeves are similar to this. I had to get used to this. Also, the size that fits from a sleeve length perspective is a little big around the waist--a good place for wind to enter; although there are adjustments for this, you end up with elastic drawstrings hanging down from your waist.
Overall, I would say this is a fantastic fleece windbreaker for those who need something light and compact, say for hiking or other athletic activities. No more peeling off a sweaty top when the temperature is too chilly to go without, as it breathes amazingly well. I love mine for this purpose. With new fee structures from the airlines, travelers who have restricted room in their luggage have an excellent choice with this compact jacket. But it is not a light replacement for a cold weather jacket. The thought just makes me shiver.
Awesome Jacket April 3, 2009

This is a great all around jacket. It is lightweight, functional, and stylish for a night on the town. It's great for outdoor activities, the pit zips enable you vent the heat and the generous pockets are handy. This has quickly become my favorite jacket you won't be disappointed!
