Quiksilver Mamatus 3L Gore-Tex Jacket

Austen Sweetin’s Thoughts: 
“The Quiksilver Mamatus Jacket is a light and super-durable 3-Layer Gore-Tex jacket. Three things are most important to me in a jacket: staying dry, mobility, and function. Because it’s just a shell jacket, you can wear it with a puffy or fleece, or you can layer down. In the spring, I’ll just wear my Ninja Suit base layer with the jacket over it. I’ve been wearing that jacket for almost four years now. It’s got big pit zips, so when you’re skinnin’ or just hikin' around you can get good ventilation. And since it’s so flexible and lightweight, when you wear a fleece and a puffy underneath you don’t feel bulky at all. You have room to breathe and move. It’s a functional and technical jacket. Less is more.”

Active Junky’s Take: 
We’ve had the pleasure of testing the Mamatus jacket for a year now, and it ticks all of the boxes that Austen mentioned. The 3-layer fabric is incredibly thin and lightweight, and despite a baggy, looser fit, the Mamatus still packs up well for touring missions. As versatile and stylish as any shell, the Mamatus is perfect for use in and out of the resort.
