Mountain Hardwear Ampato Jacket

The Ampato Jacket is a versatile hardshell using Mountain Hardwear's Dry.Q Elite technology. It's waterproof and durable and holds up well climbing and backpacking.

• Fabric: The Ampato jacket is a 2-layer shell using Mountain Hardwear's high end Dry.Q Elite technology. The fabric is waterproof and breathable and also durable. I've worn this pack while climbing a dihedral and there was no wear from putting my shoulder and back against the rock as I shimmied my way up the climb. One thing to note, a 3-layer fabric is more durable and more breathable than a 2-layer fabric, but this jacket still performs very well. 
• True hardshell: This is not just a rain jacket. The Ampato Jacket is very durable and i have no concerns of ripping the fabric when climbing or hiking. Also, note that this jacket is not an ultra light-jacket weighing in at 1 lb 2 oz vs under a pound for an ultra-light. 
• Fit: This jacket has a standard fit. I normally like slimmer fitting apparel but for a shell, I like having room to fit a fleece or down jacket underneath 
• Pockets: Hand pockets, chest pocket and interior zip security pocket 
• Hood: Large helmet compatible adjustable hood
  
• Pit zips
• Velcro cuff and two bottom-hem adjusters

• Price: The Ampato Jacket is reasonably priced at $250. For those not looking to shell out (heh heh) 400 dollars for a 3-layer jacket, this is a good option. 

Very light, breathable, good for not so severe use.

Good for ordinary outdoor using, net inside is like common sports suit.

The total weigh is very small.
