Ibex Alyx Jacket - Women's

If you like the temperature-regulating, odor-blocking benefits of soft wool and the idea of a stretchy, breathable, weather-resistant softshell, may we suggest the Alyx Jacket? Before you think a wool lining would make a softshell look like a tent, you should know that this jacket has a flattering, semi-fitted cut. Thirteen-inch, double-slider pitzips make it easy to cool off during backcountry hikes and spring ski days, while internal pockets hold your music player and lip balm.

Bottom Line: Soft wool meets softshell.

scratchy

By:

The sleeves are long enough for me (I'm 5'11") but overall I was not impressed. The shell is wool and the inside is not soft (it is mildly scratchy - which would only be a problem with short sleeves). It is not insulated, basically is just a shell. I almost kept it, but it just wasn't what I wanted.

Not a puffy softshell

By:

Some softshells are the equivalent of lofty fleece with a "bombproof" outer side. The fabric on this jacket is more like that bombproof outer side on top of a fuzzy fleece knit. Don't buy it for it's insulatory powers- buy it for it's non-stinky flexible breathable softshell value. It's great though, and there's a cinch on the bottom edge to combat any hula-hoop issues.
