Premium wp jacket at a entry price point - Mammut Kento Jacket - Mens

I was actually looking for an emergency WP shell when I come across this. Very light weight and very waterproof at 20k mm. Decent breath-ability rating at 15-20k, it obviously doesn't breath as well as my Schoeller jacket, but the Schoeller also isn't waterproof. Mammut sizing also run small, so a guy like me, who is in between a small and a medium can find an excellent fit in a Mammut medium. Fabric is stretchy as well, which is usually only available in a premium WP membrane. A full set of features such as ample pockets, pit zip, hem cord, and a helmet compatible hood (note: if you have a big helmet, you should size up).

There is one weird things that I notice with this jacket. When you put first put it on against your bare skin, it send a cold chill down your spin. It like the jacket is coated with a thin layer of metal or something.

It's in my backpack during day hike, climbing and camping trips. Really happy with this purchase. Excellent value.
