Mountain Hardwear WindStopper Tech Jacket - Men's
The Mountain Hardwear WindStopper Tech Jacket, by now a classic, is the windproof piece you need for touring, track skiing, mountaineering, or whatever high-output sport you do in winter. Its totally windproof Gore WindStopper membrane keeps you warm with little weight relative to other fleece jackets, and has a huge comfort range due to its excellent breathability. As you make your final push for the peak, breaking a sweat, a moisture-managing mesh lining helps to keep you dry on the inside. With other features like extra-long pit zips for extra venting, zippered hand and security pockets, and reinforcements in high-abrasion areas, the WindStopper Tech will quickly become one of your indispensable jackets. When the snow comes, use it as a midlayer and throw a shell on over it.

Mountain Hardware rules!
What an awesome jacket! Significantly warmer then my North Face Denali jacket in all conditions - wind or no wind - rain or shine - with far less weight and bulk. Tons of great features like sewn (not tied) zipper pulls. Kudos to Mountain Hardware!
Actually worth the price
I searched on the internet to find one on sale for over 2 months. Daily. Obsessively. Couldn't do it. There's a good reason they never go on sale. This product actually works as advertised-not of it's hype. I stay comfortably warm in class, then do a freezing blitz on my bike and I'm warm. It is a lot less bulky, too. I couldn't be happer with it. Kritios Boy is warm now. P.S. It looks really, really cool.
Awesome Jacket
I can not say enough about this jacket. It fits perfectly, it is light yet warm. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing this jacket. A++
Windstopper Tech Jacket
While on a winter backpacking trip in the Smoky Mountains, I became frustrated at how poorly my generic fleece jacket performed under the various temperatures and precipitation changes that are typical for backpacking. After hours of being either too hot or too cold, I realized the functional beauty of the wind resistant fleece jacket. The Windstopper Tech Jacket is great because it is so versatile. Whatever the weather, you can use layers with the jacket to fit your activity. If you get too hot, you can unzip the front. If you get really hot, you can unzip two more slots under the arms. If you are still hot, you can take the jacket off! With reinforced shoulders and forearms, this jacket was designed with active people in mind. One of my favorite features is the number of zippered pockets. With all the stuff you have to keep handy while outdoors, it is so nice to be able to zip up your car keys or compass and not worry about it losing it. The zippers have long pulls so that zipping and unzipping is super-easy. My only complaint is that the logo is huge. Bottom-line: If you want a versatile and function-oriented jacket, the Windstopper Tech Jacket is worth the money.
This jacket hasn't disappointed!
Great jacket! I have been wearing it up here in Cleveland this winter, and even on our coldest day (around 0 degrees) I was warm, with just a light layer underneath... It lives up the windstopper part of it's name too - it has been way too windy this year, but I have stayed warm...

Training Tips
Did you know that to lose approximately one pound of fat, an average adult would have to walk 30 miles? You don't have to walk those 30 miles all at once.
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
