Mammut Men's Extreme Jannu Jacket

highly recommended
Tailored for trim, fit people. Stretchy fabric is very durable. Have telemarked 108 days through stupid tight woods and rocks and big crashes. This jacket is tough and durable. No complaints, check it out, buy it on sale. Heavy fabric is a bit much for summer; mostly a winter shell. Very attractive, though the yellow shows dirt.

Holy crap.
this is an awesome jacket!!! the black looks great and i don't think that the other reviewer would be disappointed if he saw the mustard in person, it's loud, really loud, and i LIKE yellow! it's definitely a european jacket, slim cut, tight in the waist and shoulders, I'm 5'10 and 155lbs and the medium fits really well. A couple things about the jacket's specs: it does have a zip in powder skirt, all of the seems are fully taped, and it DOES NOT have hand warmer pockets as the description says; just the sleeve and two chest pockets, and if you figure out a way to comfortably warm your hands in them, please, let me know. I plan to use it as a shell for skiing and as a general purpose rain jacket, and have no doubts it will be plenty warm with minimal layering. I wore it in a pretty steady rain the other day and the water just rolled right off. the C-Change fabric is amazing. It looks fantastic and has a very durable feeling. the texture of it is kind of ruff, like a really fine sand paper. the fit and stitching of the jacket are excellent, but watch the back seam on the shoulders where 3 pieces come together as one of the jackets i saw in the store had a loose stitch showing there. The main zipper is a little difficult and stiff at first but that's what you get with the waterproof zipper; it really just takes some getting used to. The zipper offsets at the top as well so it's not rubbing against your mouth, which is a nice feature, but when you don't have it zipped all the way up you get a much larger flap hanging out on the left which can be annoying but is mostly remedied buy stopping the zipper even with the bottom of your neck. i really wish it were december again because i cannot wait to wear this to the mountain. it is truly a superb jacket.

One Awesome Piece of Work
To be certain, I'm somewhat of an advocate for Mammut. As I've recently come into the market for a new, impenetrable jacket, the Jannu seemed too good to pass on. Though I really, really wanted the Mustard colored jacket, I settled for the Ink color as it was the best deal I could find. Boy am I glad I did. Fits perfectly - almost a little TOO perfectly, and has all the right features in all the right places. It is versatile, and can be used equally well as a ski/snowboard jacket as it can a mountaineering jacket. Haven't yet had a chance to test its weather-worthiness, but that shall shortly change as I embark on trips to northwestern Scotland (mountaineering & ice climbing) and the Italian Alps (snowboarding in the Dolomites). Based on my local wear here in the south of England, I have a feeling it won't disappoint...
