Mammut clothing and packs are always cut with an economy of materials and parts. They are perfect for the alpinist in that they don't veer into snowboard sizing or all the bunk a lot of pack manufacturers think is useful. This jacket is slightly long in the sleeves (which I love) with the thumb rings to keep them down when you have your arms up doing things that make for drafts around wrists and the small of the back. It is cut low across the back of the hips and the torso is a trim cut, eliminating bulk that hinders movement. Finally the hood is just right with or without a helmet, neither too tall nor too compact and the orb of space for your face is perfect for maximum visibility and the right amount of overhang. I would have given it five stars if it could negotiate time off with my boss.
