That is not the only reason why you should try out these jackets.  Both my husband and I have never found more versatile and durable coats.  I tried the Monkey Woman Jacket and Erik has the Compressor PL Jacket which is insulated with Primaloft.  Our friends always laugh at us for wearing our bulky down jackets in sunny Colorado, but everything changed with these jackets.  They are sleek/slender, warm, and slightly water resistant and everyone tells us how great we look. As for their performance, they have done very well on wet spring day hikes, windy days  camping in the desert and on the slopes of Colorado.  On top of it all, Mountain Hardware has a lifetime warranty on all of its products.  Return the defective item to them and they will either fix or replace it.  Maybe I will send some stuff back to them when I am 95.

I really hope Mountain Hardware will start making their clothing for babies and toddlers.

You can see the Leahy family modeling these coats.  They are perfect for that outdoorsy family picture.  The children are wearing the kid’s version of the adult coats: Boys Hooded Compressor Jacket and the Girls Monkey Jacket
