Heavenly fit and comfort!

By treklite Ranked #279 - Men's Softshell Jackets October 31, 2008

I have tried on MANY different soft shells from the North Face, Mammut, Outdoor Research, and Marmot, all claiming to be athletic/performance fitted, but NONE of the them fit me like the Mountain Hardewear Icestone! I have a medium-slender athletic frame, 5'11'' 155lbs, and the Icestone so far has been the ONLY jacket that is both long enough for my arms and still slim enough through the arms and torso! What is more, the Icestone feels like a t-shirt against you bare skin--very comfortable. The neck opening is the perfect size as well, it is slimmed down and not bulky like so many soft shell necks seem to be. The cuffs at the hands are nice and narrow, and the thumb loops also provide a nice warm seal against the elements. At exactly 1lb, this soft shell also qualifies for an excellent ultralight piece. This is the understated softshell of the year, in my opinion!
