Industry Reviews

Gear Institute - Full Review, Side by Side Comparison

'Best Hard Shell Jackets of 2017' pick by Gear Institute
'Best hard shell jacket for Hot Weather Hiking' - The Mishmi Takin Virunga won this category thanks to its highly breathable eVent membrane combined with copious mechanical venting options.
'The Mishmi Takin Virunga jacket dumps heat and sweat vapor more effectively than just about any other shell we’ve tested.'
'On a sweaty multi-day bike ride in the rain, it kept a tester from overheating, while everyone else was wet from the inside.'
'Heavy bushwhacking had no impact on the lightweight rip stop shell.'

Tami Mittan, Colorado Mountain Mom - Full Review

'The Mishmi Takin Virunga is a year-round, high quality and highly versatile piece.'
'I’ve worn it over a warmth layer while family skiing in Colorado ... I am thrilled with this jacket'
'I have a very expensive Gortex hard shell made by a reputable, well known outdoor brand. I’m happy to report that the Gortex jacket will now be replaced by the Mishmi Takin, due to the Virunga’s superior fit, feel, and features.'

'Both times the rain was an actual deluge. Neither time did ANY moisture get inside this hard shell. That’s maximum performance.'
'a great jacket for ice climbing'

Alicyn Lane, Modern Hiker - Full Review

'First I tried it out in the snow. The jacket was extremely windproof and did a solid job of keeping my insulated jacket and underlayers dry.'
'I went storm chasing and set out in the cold rain and “semi-snow” — and the jacket performed great. I was dry and breathing with the jacket. The hood had excellent coverage and kept my head dry.'

Kurt Repenshak, National Parks Traveler - Full Review

'On several snowshoe outings that featured a variety of exertion, this jacket did an excellent job of breathing to keep me dry on the inside.'

'It is rugged too. It got caught on a nail and tugged. I was so sure I would find a hole ripped through my beautiful pink jacket, but upon inspection there was no tear anywhere. Not even a pull in the material.
