The Mountain Hardwear Men’s Offwidth Softshell Jacket includes underarm gussets and stretch panels to ensure total freedom of movement for your day in the hills. A blend of nylon, polyester, and elastane gives the entire Offwidth Jacket mechanical stretch as well. Getting the idea yet? Mountain Hardwear also added drawstrings at the hem and collar as well as closable cuffs to seal out all the wind and snow.
I don't believe this has a liner like the apex. This is more for warmer weather, a much more breathable jacket. Ideal for high activity. Hope this helps.
my needs were to fill the gap between full on storm days, and warm sun days, and this does it well. fully enclosed waist, wrist, and neck make this the perfect tool on powder days in the backcountry when i am working hard, and the temp is ~25+ degrees. it breathes well, and holds off the wind pretty well. i guess less than perfect wind blocking is the trade off for excellent breathability. as to rain it's good for 2 to 3 hours before it saturates. the other 2 drawbacks are the collar which is a little on the limp side, and being such a flexible, stretchy fabric it has a tendancy to hike up my back when i have my ski pack on. with a stiffer collar, and some way to keep it from hiking up my back i would give it 5 stars. it does the job well for a budget piece. you won't be disappointed.
The Offwidth Jacket is an air-permeable softshell meaning air travels through the fabric both in and out pretty easily. So, I would call it wind resistant and not windproof. This jacket is often used during high output activities because of this fact! Hope this helps.
It's a good jacket for anything active so it's not very windproof. It's water resistant so it can hold up in anything, but downpour. It is for an extremely athletic fit so keep that in mind. It's also great for casual wear. We have a strict dress code at the hospital/office, but this keeps it classy.
Same fabric, same jacket, same cut... different color. The sale jackets are two-toned with black on the sleeves. The new Offwidth is one color. Hope this helps!
I have both - the MH is for warmer weather where you don't need so much warmth; NF better in colder weather. I'm 5'11', 170, large in MH is good. Medium in NF isn't enough for much layering, but on really cold days, you're going to need more than a softshell anyway. BTW - I love both jackets and would buy them again.
These two softshells are going to be similar. They are both general-use jackets, either for layer in colder weather or just wearing it alone in mild temperatures. They both are water resistant with a DWR coating and they are both stretchy materials. Either one is a good softshell to go with.
