2009 Mammut Ultimate Hoody Mens Jacket scores 94 out of 100 points
By: Team Billy Flanagan
A perfect layering piece. now I can wear a wool base layer, a wool mid layer and this jacket. That’s all I need. High winds are NO problem. Best of all, I can wear this for year round activities. Massive side zips for venting and a two way front zipper are nice features to have.
The hood is a bit funky when you cinch it down. The hood’s brim gets out of shape and blocks my field of vision. Snagging it on a tree limb is a possibility, but normal wear and tear should pose no durability problem.
The only problem thus far is the bottom of the zippers remaining “seated”. They tend to crawl up while skiing and I’ve found myself needing to pull them back down more often than I’d like.
Overall, a great value.
