Dare to say better than Arc'teryx

By Ranked #3036 - Men's Softshell Jackets October 27, 2008

Don't get me wrong, Arc'teryx Venta is a GREAT softshell, but the Synchro is just awesome overall. Really durable, really breathable, WATERPROOF, windproof, and comfy. When I took my trip to Moab, my climbing partner and I got stuck in a downpour. His Apex Softshell kept the water out for maybe a good 10 to 20 minutes. Me...BONE DRY except down my sternum where the water was rolling down my chin and down my jacket. I was cold though, but I did not think I would need to layer in a desert...I was wrong.

Could use a little warmer fleece, but I do get cold easy.
