Customer Reviews Mountain Hardwear Kor Preshell™ Pullover

I love this pullover shell! Excellent fabriclightweight, strong, windproof, keeps a light mist off. Superb tailoring, fitting my slim runner's physique just right so I can move and it doesn't billow. Only the essential extras: one zip pocket, one interior pocket (for cramming the shell into a ball, but useful for my running iPod).

I usually don't review things but this thing is so amazing that it's become my go to jacket. Yes this is thin (really why are people complaining about it? That is the reason you bought it unless you don't know what you're doing). This is literally like wearing an extremely strong fancy plastic bag. Meaning you feel nothing and it's super easy to put it on and take it off. Because how lightweight it is. You can't go lighter than this unless we come up with a new material or a weaker material or less pockets. I love everything about this jacket. It's to the point and simple. No unnecessary bells and whistles that would weigh you down. It's about 1/4 the size (packed) when compared to my polyester windbreaker. I can't believe how small and lightweight this is. Now one guy complained about how it doesn't replace any of his jackets. Ok no one cares and that shouldn't dock the rating because we wouldn't want your other jackets (? Lol?) People have the weirdest complaints. It ruins it for people who actually want a good product. Here is my advice. You don't buy this to layer. I'm a hiker myself (Texas) and I usually don't layer. I kinda don't need to. Unless it's winter. You just wear what's good for that weather. This thing is perfect for cool Texas nights when you don't need anything bulky but still need full coverage. I could wear a long sleeve t-shirt but this is super light, I can pack it and it has pockets. Very important feature is the raised neck to keep the wind off your neck where it hits you the worst. It does have the zipper tip guard or whatever it's called which is nice to have so you don't get your neck stuck in the zipper. There are technically two pockets. On the outside is the zippered pocket. I would suggest it's better for light stuff like earbuds but my large 5" phone fit in just fine with enough room that it wasn't uncomfortable or unpractical. But I wouldn't do it because it feels weighty because of the thin material. But I could see it working for a little while if you don't have pockets. The other pocket is mesh based on the inside (same side as the other pocket). This pocket is there to pack the jacket as well. It's an interesting pocket as it has a top part and a bottom part and the top part of the mesh overlaps the bottom so it's secure without adding another zipper. It makes total sense. This is extremely ingenious imo as it doesn't introduce extra unnecessary zippers or weight or anything that might graze against your chest as it's such a thin jacket. There is no cinch around the waist and I wouldn't want one. I have other jackets for that. This jacket does fit nearly form fitting but not quite. The only odd thing about it is that the wrists are a bit long but weirdly they do work out because they easily go over my watch so maybe they had that in mind. This jacket is also a bit long. Not long enough to look bad but longer than usual and I actually prefer it because so many form fitting jackets are short and thus difficult to wear. This is a super easy jacket to get into. Honestly I don't know what it is but I love this jacket so much. I've tried a lot of other jackets and brands and all the jackets I've had were uncomfortable to wear all the time. If you want something that's sort of go to then this will do. I'm guessing this jacket will do well in 50-60 degrees. Although if overcast then I'd guess 60-70.

Packs up small and very lightweight. Use as a top layer for cross country skiing.

This is so comfortable that I kind of wish they made a shirt out of this material. I'm 6 foot, 155lbs and the medium fits me near perfectly. If anything it's ever so slightly large. I ended up buying two of these in different colors because it's so versatile.

Perfect light weight wind-repelling garment that looks great and doesn't snag on anything

Excellent fabric quality and design but it runs a bit too large for my dimensions.

Protective and lightweight! A bit snug of a fit, but this is great for running or hiking!
