Gear Review | Mammut Haldigrat HS Hooded Jacket Women

High-end freeride and touring jacket by Mammut

by Pamela Wehinger 03/10/2022
According to the manufacturer, the Haldigrat HS Hooded Jacket is designed for ski touring and freeriding. This slightly tailored hardshell jacket is not only attractive, but also offers optimum weather protection thanks to the 3-layer Mammut DRYtechnology™ Pro material. Wind, rain or wet snowfall are definitely no match for this garment.

Tester and test conditions

I am 1.63 m tall and weigh 52 kg. My activities are mainly freeriding, ski touring, but also piste skiing. I tested the Mammut Haldigrat HS Hooded Jacket Women in size S in the colour navy-white. The jacket has been in use in various conditions from the Christmas holidays until now.

Test report

I had the jacket with me for a wide range of activities. Whether on tour, powder skiing or on the piste, the jacket is the perfect garment for me. It is both breathable and windproof, as well as being very light. The fit gave me optimum freedom of movement on all activities. Even in hours of wet snowfall and later rain, the material let the water roll off perfectly and kept me dry.

The large hood can be pulled over the helmet or pulled close to the head using a simple elasticated drawstring. Long underarm ventilation zips allow heat to escape quickly and prevent cold and moisture from entering when closed. The sewn-in hand gaiters are very comfortable and the arm cuffs are easily adjustable with Velcro, which I also use to regulate the warmth in different temperatures. Several pockets on the outside and inside offer plenty of storage space for quick access. The only thing I don't do is put my skins in the outer pockets to keep warm or for a short descent (although the manufacturer doesn't advertise this).

By the way, the jacket is PFC-free. According to Mammut, it is endeavouring to phase out all PFC-containing product treatments and replace them with high-performance alternatives.

Conclusion

The Mammut Haldigrat HS Hooded Jacket Women has become my new favourite piece due to its features and attractive style. It is lightweight and very soft for a hardshell jacket. I can imagine using the jacket for other activities too.
