Gear: Mountain Hardwear Thermostatic Jacket

April 14th, 2014 • BY

Meet your new spring jacket. Weighing in at a trim 10 ounces, Mountain Hardwear’s Thermostatic Jacket ($200) delivers true warmth in an ultra lightweight—and attractive—package.

This jacket has become a trusty sidekick: I’ve tested it solo while skiing on a sunny day in Telluride in February, hiking in drizzle on a cold morning here near our offices in Durango, Colo. (it also features water resistance), and I even toted it with me on a two-week trip to Australia (where it was the perfect plane companion).

The Thermotastic is lightly filled with 60 grams of Thermal.Q™ Elite, Mountain Hardwear’s lightweight, synthetic insulation, which offered solid, cozy warmth on the slopes, the trails, and my lengthy Trans-Atlantic flight. This jacket is noticeably lightweight and it packs up like a dream—I worked it into a little, unoffensive ball that fit perfectly in a corner of my suitcase in Australia, where the weather was too warm for a jacket.

The Thermostatic Jacket also cleans up well—I’ve tossed it in the washer numerous times (followed by a low-heat spin in the dryer) and it came out as good as new. In eco-savvy Australia, where electric dryers are a rarity and many folks hang their laundry to dry on clotheslines, I washed the jacket and then hung it to dry: to my surprise, the Thermostatic’s filling puffed right back up without a spin dry.

Designed for slipping under a shell or for wearing as a stand-alone jacket, the Mountain Hardwear Thermostatic Jacket is spot on for spring—and beyond.

Other key features:

  • Two front handwarmer pockets
  • Dual hem drawcords for quick fit adjustments
  • Low profile elastic cuffs for easy layering
  • Jacket stows in pocket
  • Feminine quilting and body-hugging cut
