Outdoor Research Alibi Softshell Jacket - Men's - 2009 BCS

This thing is super versatile. It's not listed as water proof, but water resistant. I've worn this in dumping rain and didn't get wet. The cinch cords for the hood do a good job of keeping it from being big and flappy when you don't have a helmet on. I've used this for backpacking, ice climbing and around the town. I may have to buy another one because my wife loves it and keeps stealing it.

OR went all out on this jacket, the attention to detail is incredible.

The back and underarms vent really well. The top of the jacket and hood is very tough and weather resistant.

The thumb loops in the sleeves are tough to get used to but once you do they are awesome. They keep your sleeves where they belong. Even without them the sleeves do better than most jackets staying in place.

The inner hood is a little odd and I don't really use it much, but it does not get in the way and stays comfortable inside its little pocket.

The jacket overall is not particularly warm but as a climbing jacket it is awesome. You may need to dial in your layers a little differently. The cut is long and stays under your harness really well, and keeps the pockets accessible.
