Great all-weather jacket, great value. Warm, water repellent, very wind resistant, and stylish. Pack this one jacket for almost any trip(maybe a light waterproof shell too, for total downpours). I've only had it for summer so far, but it's done well on cool breezy nights along the CA coast & wet mountain mornings in the San Juans near Durango. The Polartec is easily warm enough for spring, fall, & winter temps down to ~40F. I'm 5'7"/160 lbs but sometimes find small sizes tight due to my chest size. The small Shift fits me perfectly. Cut is trim and athletic, but chest and shoulders stretch well to accommodate movement. $30 less than REI One, the closest priced comparable softshell I found.
