A subsidiary of Columbia Sportswear Company, Mountain Hardwear also plans to add snow-sports apparel to the new AR app, in partnership with GORE-TEX, with a special application for its retail locations. As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. The Mountain Hardwear Scrambler 35 performs well as a versatile, fast-and-light mountain pack. It suffers from somewhat poor durability and has some minor faults, but is overall an enjoyable pack to use. If you can manage a comfortable fit with the suspension, you’ll have a pack that can carry a wide variety of gear and move with you in all but the most dynamic activities. The multiple attachment points for ice axes work well, but if you like to carry hiking poles, consider a more day hiking oriented pack that has pole-specific carrying options.
All orders qualify for 365-day returns and exchanges, so shopping is worry-free. Zappos offers free shipping on women’s shorts and other performance apparel, so you’ll want to stock up for your next outdoor adventure. Casual days call for women’s rompers, and they’re not all made the same.
Most of the time I wore the jacket together with the WoolPro Agena base layer and I was very satisfied with the performance. Both garments transported the moisture from the skin to the outside and kept me comfortable in cold weather. However, I have noticed that these two garments create static electricity when used together; when I was putting the fleece jacket off after the hikes there was always a lot of static cling. The same was the case with my former fleece jacket, but it didn’t create as much static electricity with Merino wool base layers as the Monkey Man jacket does.
Perhaps the most noticeable issue with breathability is the prolonged scent from our fire smoke test. The stench of fire smoke isn’t an easy thing to eradicate , but it lingered on the Canyon even after a wash and air dry — which is noteworthy. Outside of this pretty tough test, the Canyon remains an otherwise light and comfortable option in most scenarios. Stench the next day from a hard hike was also noticeable, as there is no antimicrobial treatment of the fabric itself. Mountain Hardwear exists to make gear that works because, out here, it matters.
If you are looking for a durable button-up sun shirt, and don’t prefer looking like you just stepped off of the set of a Bass Pro Shop commercial, the Mountain Hardwear Canyon is the sun shirt for you. It’s versatile, performs admirably, prevents needing to lather yourself in SPF 50, and is plenty packable to be taken on the road. This is a shirt we highly recommend and was the clear pick for our Editors’ Choice Award.

Mountain Hardwear was founded in 1993 in Richmond, California by a small group of former employees of Sierra Designs. Soon after, Mountain Hardwear’s first sponsored athlete, Ed Viesturs, the first American to climb all fourteen 8,000 meter peaks , helped develop several of the company’s products. Today, Mountain Hardwear continues to associate with elite Alpine athletes.
I reached out to MH and was told to wait a few more days before they initiated a missing package investigation with UPS. In the following weeks, I reached out to MH multiple times to request an update and determine if they planned to send a replacement for the missing item with zero response. I finally asked for a refund and now MH has informed me that I’m not eligible to receive one, despite the fact that they never actually shipped the merchandise from their warehouse. The top lid is big enough to carry plenty of clothing accessories, snacks, and small electronics.
When our founders set roots down in the Bay back in 1993, Mountain Hardwear was destined for a life of play. They wanted to make equipment and apparel that climbers and mountaineers could depend on—but they wanted to have fun doing it, too. We bring the same stoke we have in the mountains to the drawing board. We express our brand through climbing, but more importantly, through the culture that we as climbers—riders—artists—innovators—movers—shakers— create. A leader in innovative outdoor apparel and accessories, Mountain Hardwear empowers you to explore the natural world. They work closely with athletes and explorers to develop lightweight, stylish and incredibly well-crafted essentials.
