Jake Olson's Review of Western Mountaineering Hooded Flash XR Jacket - Men's

Like killing a hummingbird or intentionally telling your grandma the wrong directions, rating this jacket a 1 star is a sure way to H E double hockey sticks. Unreal jacket!!! A MUST for those 11,000 foot mornings or any winter weather outside of Minnesota and North Dakota (which should both be avoided during the winter anyway). This jacket will go wherever I go, and I won’t even notice it’s with me until I need it...or my wife needs it more. Thank you WM for sticking to practical functionality and not trying to get all cutesy when it comes to lightweight warmth (like seemingly every other brand). I’m 5’9” now that I’ve lost most my hair and 185 pounds of strength; medium fits like the gloves I no longer need when dawning my Hooded Flash XR.
Pros:
  • Days of being chilled while in the mountains or on the ladder hanging Christmas lights are over
  • only a few more dollars than all the other junk out there
Cons:
  • No more campfires needed.
  • Wont get to buy a new jacket for a very long time
  • Too light. I might forget I have it with me a lose it.
Best Used for:
  • Backpacking, hunting, skiing, mountaineering...and hanging Christmas lights you really dont want to hang
Would Recommend: Yes
