Great wintersports shell - Mammut Nordwand Pro Hard Shell Hooded Jacket - Men's

I have primarily used this jacket for snowshoeing and ski/snowboarding. I also own the ArcTeryx Theta AR. I bought this one to have a trimmer fitting alternative potentially for climbing. It definitely is a slimmer fit compared to the Theta AR but I was able to wear a light insulated layer and a mid-weight base-layer underneath without feeling uncomfortably restricted. In length it comes down to about 2 cm below my iliac crests. I have not had any problems with the fit and finish of this jacket and honestly harbor no gripes there. The hood/collar is a little awkward as it is best either completely unzipped and splayed out (and catching snow) or zipped up with hood up (which is excellent but I don't always want the hood up). The pockets sit high which is fine except I did find myself pining for an external chest pocket or sleeve pocket. There is an interior zip pocket on the left which was nice for stashing an RFID card. It has a removable powder skirt as well but I haven't tried to remove it.
