How does this jacket compare to the Columbia Ascender? I want a softshell that holds up to the wind but can also zip into my columbia shell when snowboarding. Anyone tried out both of these?

The Crag is a a closer fit and the Ascender is more generous, as another bit of differentiation

Hey Eman. I've tried out both the Crag Mountain II and the Ascender. In my opinion the Crag Mountain is far and beyond a better jacket. It cuts wind, sheds water, and fits much better than the Ascender jacket. I would whole heartedly recommend the Crag Mountain over the Ascender. If you're looking for something even beefier, check out the Columbia Ice Ax II Softshell.
