Replacing a lost North Face Apex Bionic

Marmot Ultima Softshell Jacket - Men's

Marmot Ultima Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 November 14, 2009

I really liked my Bionic, but I accidentally left it in a cab. One thing I didn't like about it was it's breathability.

After extensive research, I settled on the Ultima Softshell because of other reviews and it was on sale ($120). I also loved the color (Tempest, which isn't available anymore?). I'm 5'11, 170 and the large fits perfectly (i.e. room underneath for a sweater/sweatshirt)

The construction is excellent. The places where water would hit have a more resistant fabric. The remaining fabric (under arms and the back) seems more breathable. I use this as part of a layering system, so breathability is very important.

I'd have preferred the whole jacket to be totally water resistant and have pit zips instead, but pit zips are almost non-existent in softshells.

The arm pocket is nice, but would benefit from having a headphone cable opening.
