Customer Reviews Mountain Hardwear Acadia Jacket

This is a really great jacket in terms of fabric and features. The underarm zippers, great feature! I ordered the color "Daze" and I loved it, very pale lavender. The fit is where I had issues because this jacket is cut narrow through the hips and just was not comfortable or attractive for my pear shape. I considered sending it back and ordering a larger size but I think the top part of the jacket would have been too big. I sadly had to return it.

It's unbelievably light jacket. Great in drizzling rain, it doesn't survive downpour. Runs large so buy a size smaller.

LOVE the color of this jacket. What a steal! If they had it in other colors/sizes, I would've ordered two. Runs a little big. For reference, I'm 5'5"~130lbs/ athletic body. I normally order XS in all tops, most jackets, sometimes small. I ordered the XS and S. The Small fit like a M; VERY long sleeves (and I have long arms/ legs). The XS was perfect for lightweight layers underneath, but a little tight if you want a bulkier hoodie or fleece. I workout outside year round, so I wanted waterproof/ windproof shell to wear over multiple layers. The hood is great--keeps the rain out with the "strucured" brim. Pockets nice size and well-positioned for phone access. Long enough to cover your rear (important if you bike!). Breaks down/ packs very small. Lightweight. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT IT IS REALLY HARD TO ZIP UP ONE HANDED! You need to hold the "lip" of the upper jacket flat in order to get the zipper up. Only reason it isn't 5 star.

Great rain jacket! Not bulky! Perfect fit. Wind proof

This jacket kept me warm and dry during a down poor while camping! It was truly waterproof which makes all difference in the great outdoors! Could not recommend it enough!

Great rain jacket! Lightweight. Has all the necessary basics. Pit zips. Roomy hood with stiff bill. Front zipper protected with fabric. Sleeves with Velcro wristbands. Has a snap tab attached to label area for easy packing. Perfect length. Has also served as a windbreaker. I ordered a medium to throw over other jackets. Works great with Ghost Whisperer! For reference I'm a slender 5'8".

Perfect rain jacket. The style is simple and clean looking. More sporty for hikes and walks in the park. Fit was true to size.

The fit and size are perfect. Love this rain jacket. Keeps me completely dry no matter how strong the rain storm. Highly recommend this jacket!

It's nice. Excellent price to function ratio. Not the best rain jacket in the world, but not the most expensive either. Pocket zippers tend to get stuck. It's not super light. But it's significantly cheaper than a lot of other rain jackets out there.

I use it for bike commuting every day. Armpit vents are key. Zipper catches on the flap at the top so you need two hands sometimes. Hood doesn't stay forward enough for walks in wind. Would rate 5 if it were gortex. This will last maybe 2 seasons. Great selection of colors too!

I'm 5'2", 114 pounds and a bit...er...full in the chest. I ordered the small which fit perfectly across my hips and the sleeve length was spot on. Unfortunately, it was too snug across the chest; there wasn't enough room to wear more than a tee-shirt. Back it goes. Bummer.

SMALLER THAN EXPECTED. NICE MATERIAL. I WOULD SIZE UP.

Have owned this jacket for ~2.5 years and it has never held up under heavy rain, and now after much use, no longer protects against light showers even though I have re-waterproofed it several times. For waterproof jackets, I'd go with a 3L (this one is only 2.5L). Fits well, wind protection and very light/packable for mountaineering, climbing and ski tours.

I received a very used and stained jacket. If I was buying used gear I would have been fine but if I am paying full price for a new jacket I would expect it to not have stains and markings everywhere. The I dude of the jacket was stained with brown stains (rust or coffee?). The outside had whit substance on the hood and back of the jacket. There was also brown stains and what looked like food/oil stains on the sleeve. Disappointed with the quality returned the jacket.
