Great jacket - Mountain Hardwear Plasmic Ion Jacket - Women's

I purchased a Mountain Hardware plasmic ion jacket just last week and was happy that it arrived in time for my weekend hike in the rain. I normally wear a medium, but chose to buy a large so that I could theoretically wear a sweater under it if needed. That was a good choice. The jacket is slightly fitted, so the extra room will be great for layering. The jacket performed very well in the rain - I stayed completely dry. The seamstress who made this jacket apparently had a bad day. The hood has a cord running through it so that it can be cinched down depending on conditions. The cord locks were sewn into the channel and are inaccessible. Thankfully, I have a sewing machine and will be able to modify it so that I can use the cord locks. Otherwise, it seems to be a well-made jacket and I look forward to many years of use.
