Anyone have experience with Mammut Nordwand HS?

I’m looking for a good hard shell and don’t want to go dead bird. Specifically looking at the Nordwand Light HS jacket by Mammut but can’t find any reviews. Thanks.

是的,我也很难找到相关信息。

Even the official website cannot find the denier number of the fabric it uses.

I had the Kento Hardshell Hooded Jacket and found it to be extremely small (for a small), WAY thinner than other hardshells, and just a very awkward fit. Not to mention the main zipper is opposite which was always making me fumble a bit. But the Nordwand may be a bit thicker. I’d suggest trying another Mammut jacket in your size before pulling the trigger. Ended up with Arcteryx.

There’s a review on Backcountry now, at 10oz it sounds like a backpacking shell or similar if that’s what you’re looking for. Personally I just got a 13oz Patagonia Ascentionist with Gore Active that I’m really liking so far but still gotta fully test it this winter.

I have the nordwand hs pants and they great. I imagine the jacket would be similarly high quality and high function.  Mammut (generally) makes really good stuff.

Just double-checking - did you get a women's jacket?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
