Thank you Mammut and Expertvoice, they gave me this free product to try. I test and review many products and I love doing it. I’m an avid hiker and I’m out in the Sierra as much as I can. I have the perfect area to test products and see how well it will hold up. I’ve been hiking in the W’s Broad Peak In Hooded Jacket for almost a month. I did get a large so I may layer under it with ease. Here are Andrea D. · mammut.com
