Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Jacket - Women's:

This is a great coat, but like others have mentioned, the sleeves are a little short. I was debating between 2 sizes and am very glad I chose the larger, but sleeves are still JUST right.

Feels too small

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Jacket - Women's:

Seems like a great jacket I haven't worn it much as I had to return it for a larger size. It rund really small. If you want to put anything under it go a size OR 2 BIGGER I normally wear a 6 bought an 8 and returned it for a 10 and I'm not even sure that will fit. Looked great though and seems to be a great jacket!

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Jacket - Women's:

I purchased an older model at closeout pricing....cheap. It was a great deal. I do think the newer models have a shorter torso. This one is quite long.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Jacket - Women's:

This jacket rocks!! I have worn this jacket and just a dri-fit multiple times running in below zero weather. I was toasty warm on all occasions. The jacket did a really good job blocking the wind. My only "small" issue are the sleeves are just a little off, but my gloves cover the area.

Order a Size Up and You're Golden
By Out and About from Minnesota on 2/13/2006
Pros:
Compact, Lightweight, Tough
Cons:
no hood
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Day trip, Hiking

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Jacket - Women's:

I recommend ordering a size up on this jacket. I had other Mountain Hardwear products in size 8, but had to order a 10 for this jacket. This jacket is fantastic for running in the cold thanks to its stretching ability. And it is absolutely windproof. I also appreciate all of the pockets.
