The GoLite designed the Men's Xirtam Softshell Jacket for people who get out and move—regardless of the weather. Made with a combination of highly water-resistant Fusion material and Alchemy 3 Stretch, the Xirtam Softshell Jacket provides a close fit and excellent weather protection in light rain or snow. Warm enough to wear as a shell while you're cross country skiing or running in the winter, this softshell also has two rear mesh core vents to increase airflow and prevent overheating. On top of its excellent performance, this GoLite jacket weighs only 15 ounces.

Bottom Line: The GoLite Xirtam Jacket—for winter enthusiasts on the run (or ski, or snowshoe).

You have to evaluate this jacket purely for its versatility and functionality for backpacking use; it can serve as an insulating softshell and a rain shell, basically a do-anything technical backcountry jacket, for a pound of weight. On that basis it's quite unique. If you're hoping to get some around-town wear out of it, however, think again. The hood stowing system isn't particularly functional and looks sloppy, best to just leave the hood out all the time. Also, the collar is very high and squared off at the zipper, so it tends to poke you in the chin and neck constantly unless you unzip the jacket most of the way (which looks sloppy) or zip it all the way up (in which case half your face is covered). Hard to wear comfortably and fashionably around town, but for a technical piece of gear to shave weight from your load it's an absolutely unique, supremely versatile jacket.
