snug fit, yet comfortable...great wind resistance and works great as a mid-layer coat. Waterproofing breaks down in the arms and seams first and must be restored often in wet-weather conditions.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Jacket - Men's:

I love this jacket,because I can depend on it to keep me warm and dry when heading up on most Cascade mountains as it will repel water as if it were water proof. The fit for some may feel a little tight, but being a runner I am used to spandex. Works good as an outer jacket if there is no weather and also doubles as a good mid layer if the parka needs to come out.
