Gear Review
My first softshell
By Steph Parke

and I can't complain. The Windstopper fabric is excellent. I rode the Xtreme Zip Line at the Utah Olympic Park when it was 16 degrees F in full sun (zip line/lift up are in the shade) and I wore the Meta layered with a Backcountry.com brand fleece pullover (sold out) and a couple of t-shirts and even when flying down the mountain at 50mph on the zip line, this jacket kept me nice and warm. I wished I were wearing jeans of the same material. The Meta has huge front pockets, sleeves that are the perfect length, and a cozy warm fleece liner. The back is a little short, but I don't mind. Great jacket overall.
