Reviews & Ratings for Mountain Hardwear Quasar II Jacket - Mens — 1 review — Page 1

This shell is really waterproof and windproof and breathes like it's advertised. The two way zipper has a problem: The lower of the two zipper pulls gets hung up every single time I attempt to pull the lower zipper up, or down. The main zipper consistently works very well. I purchased a large size and the sleeves are about two inches too long but if a puffy down midlayer is worn beneath the shell, the sleeves "shrink" about an inch so sleeve length is no longer a problem, except when the shell is worn without an underlayer. The wire in the hood is useful and works very well when a midlayer with a hood is worn. The shell is indeed light and readily packable but a bit stiff primarily because the main zipper and the two long zippers on the chest are pretty inflexible. All in all, it's a great shell typifying the quality one's is used to expect from Mountain Hardware.
