Mountain Hardwear now has on offer the Stimulus jacket

Which is waterproof, breathable, and has some stretch – but what’s novel is that it’s reflective. 

And is available, therefore, only in a color that Mountain Hardwear calls “Stainless Steel.”

I’ve had a couple of Mountain Hardwear’s pieces – one jacket and a hat. They’re both among the best clothing I’ve ever had. jacket had single defect:  it allowed me to lose it. The hat was, I believe, stolen by one of my children – high praise, indeed.

We’re going to see if we can take a look at one of these – Mountain Hardwear’s website doesn’t provide specs on the reflectivity – but if it meets ANSI Class II or III it might be an  ideal option for clothing emergency responders.
