Is this prettymuch a BC pullover version of REI's Mistral jacket?
I think they're both polartech powershield softshells, and I'm just wondering if getting this one is worth it, or would just be redundant.

the rei mistral is a jacket - full zip, and more generous 'corporate cut'.. not powershield and 18 oz. the RIME is powershield material, athletic cut. 10 oz. I use this rime in many conditions - spring summer fall. it breathes great, and protects well. but what i like most is that its everything you need. the rest is left off for a reason. less is more.
