Backcountry.com Shift Softshell Jacket - Men's

Item #BCC0164 | 90 in Stock

Is this the new Shift that is replacing the one that came in...

By Ranked #230 - Men's Softshell Jackets December 15, 2008

Is this the new Shift that is replacing the one that came in Sangria Red? Please say No.Otherwise Backcountry has ruined the look of a very good looking jacket by using that dumb looking welded chest pocket. Also, I no longer see a wrist stash pocket and a pic of the interior security pocket would have been helpful. I was going to buy one of these and was waiting for replacement stock for Sangria Red in XL or XXL (or maybe midnight/indigo blue if it came out) but if this is it then - no way would I buy something this ugly. BC's purchasing agents must be color blind (carrot and carbon?!) Also, what are the neck sizes for backcountry sizing - this was important info and now it's gone from the sizing charts.

Mr. Critical Eh? I have something in the Carrot color and it looks much better on cloth than on the web.--Word Kisow. I have the carbon and it's neutral so it flies with anything. Even pink. Even though I have no pink. This jacket is great. The wrist pocket was useless. The chest pocket is much more useful.
