GoLite Sastrugi Hooded Insulated Jacket - Men's - 2007 BCS

I do enjoy this jacket and found it to be more water resistant then i thought. It stays quite breathable and i havent found any problems with the zippers and i find that they make the jacket look more sharp, so i dont know what DA BURG is talking about. The problem that i have found so far is that it isnt as wind resistant as i would like it to be but i cant really complain because thats not what i bought the jacket for.
So all in all its a great spring and fall jacket and can even be worn on the milder winter days and for the price you cant go wrong.

Over all this jacket has held up pretty well. I also have NoT had a problem with the zippers and i think they make the jacket look a little nicer. It is a little bit heavy but really, not that bad at all. Great for spring and fall. Ive worn it out in some rain and it has held up well but i aslo am not sure if i would take it anywhere they might be a down poor, but for a soft shell it hold up to water better then others. My only problem is that i would like it to be a little more wind proof but i dont really mind because thats not what i bought it for. All in all good jacket along with a great price, if you buy this one you really cant go wrong.

I have to say that this jacket is very nice. It was my first go lite purchase. I did not have a problem with my zipper (previous post). The Jacket is tapped on the inside so rain doesn't really get it (outside is what you really want). It will withstand water well but I would not take it on a long trip with me that could potentially have very wet climates. Overall I am happy. Could be used for a good snowboarding jacket.

WHAT HAPPENED? THIS WAS POTENTIALLY A SICK GOLITE SOFTSHELL... WHY AREN'T ALL THE SEAMS TAPED? WHAT UP WITH THE WEAK ZIPPERS? I MEAN, FROM THE TIME I FIRST PUT IT ON I COULD TELL THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE MAIN ZIPPER, AND IT FAILED AFTER ZIPPING IT ON AND OFF ABOUT 15 TIMES. FABRIC IS NICE, AND IT IS A BURLY SOFT SHELL.. THE HOOD IS SWEET. FULLY SEAM TAPE THE JACKET AND ADD A BEAFIER ZIPPER AND IT WOULD BE A WINNER... IT'S NOT A LIGHT WEIGHT SHELL SO THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER.
