VerticalMythic MP+ jkt

We tested the Vertical Mythic MP + full outfit, jacket and pants. First remark, the jacket is more free hiking or even downhill skiing design than the pants, which are clearly hiking oriented due to their very fitted design. We even find on the Vertical MP + jacket the traditional forearm pocket for the ski pass and the internal mesh for goggles. For us, this is a product that is well placed for downhill skiing and ski touring.

 

We immediately take note of how tough this three-layer Vertical MP + jacket is. We also noticed how heavy it was: more than 1kg in size M. A weight that limits it for ski touring use where you want something as light as possible. It also doesn’t pack down very small.

 

Once you’re wearing it you don’t have to worry about it ripping, in forests, etc. Beyond the feeling of toughness and protection, the Vertical MP + jacket provides good stretch and therefore comfort. It sizes quite small, be careful if you want to add insulation layers underneath.

 

Regarding aaccessories and features, you have everything; Velcro cuff adjustments to go over gloves, excellent neck protection (no friction), non-removable snow skirt (it does lack a system to hook its ends if not in use), many very practical pockets. We liked the double inverted chest pockets, a very clever design (do not fill them too much otherwise it gets a bit bulky in this area) to store your items well. We liked the very soft inner cuffs, which protect the top of the hand with a thumb hole.

 

 

The assemblies are beautifully done, as well as the (thermo?) collages. The zips slide well and are easily grabbed with gloves on, thanks to the well-designed tips. The question: why didn’t they choose a waterproof central zip when all the others are?

 

The very wide hood can be adjusted with too many points. The two lateral settings need care to adjust. Designed to go over a helmet, it provides good lateral protection and the visor won’t collapse in front of your eyes.

 

Its waterproofness is efficient, and it has good breathability.

 

The Vertical MP + jacket is a three-layer jacket that exudes toughness. Very protective, it is fairly heavy for pure hiking, but remains useful for ski touring or even downhill skiing.
