Awesomesweetassgreatspectacularbulletproof Jacket

By Ranked #151 - Men's Softshell Jackets November 6, 2008

I'm 5' 6", 150, and I've got a shorter upper torso and I got a medium . When I first got it I thought it was really short. After wearing it around, however, I've come to see it's cut perfectly, at least for me. As far as performance, the G50 is awing. It's cuts wind like a freakin' ax when I ride around on my bike. The G50 is also CRAZY water-resistant. My only gripes are 1) the lack of elastic/velcro wrist cuffs, 2) the thin fleece lining (admittedly, though, I get cold really easily). This jacket will keep you warm as nonesense if you're moving around, but if not, you better layer up.

The sweetest part of the jacket is it's price. For the performance and quality of a significantly more expensive softshell, but at a significantly LOWER price you'd better holler at the G50 (better yet, look at steep and cheap or bc outlet). The jacket has sent me to the temples of Mountain Hardwearism.

Lastly, backcountry.com is ridiculously sweet ass sweet. If you were a real person, I'd try to marry you.
