Given its price, it’s hard to find anything better in terms of quality. That said, a few comments are necessary. The Quechua MH900 waterproof jacket runs small, especially around the shoulders. You’ll need to size up if you want to wear base layers underneath, particularly a fleece jacket.
The second point concerns the waterproof zips: the plastic stiffens quickly and can deform if the sliders remain in the same position for a long time, as is often the case with the underarm vents. As a result, the jacket’s waterproofing can be slightly affected.
Aside from that, the overall performance is good. The cut is well designed, the Quechua MH900 provides good coverage in the lower back, and the asymmetric sleeve ends are very effective. The high collar offers solid neck protection. The hood fits the head well. It is, of course, not designed to be worn with a helmet. The edges of the semi-rigid visor slightly obstruct the field of vision. The solution? Adjust the back-of-the-head tightening system to properly tension the hood.
The Quechua MH900 features no fewer than six pockets, including one mesh pocket inside the jacket that is not zippered. The weight is impressively low—under 450 grams in size M.
Waterproofing is solid for a three-layer jacket that is robust and offers a high number of pockets. Some stitching and seam assembly points lack precision, but again, the price-to-quality ratio clearly works in its favor.
A protective jacket at a very competitive price. Its performance is more than satisfactory for a waterproof, well-cut product. Perfect for hiking efficiently without breaking the bank.
