Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Softshell Jacket - Men's
Perfect Winter Activities Jacket!
By Cody Rayl
Ranked #2955 - Men's Softshell Jackets
November 7, 2008
This is one of my main go to jackets for winter activities. It is perfect for snowshoeing, hiking, climbing when the weather is in the 30-40's. On colder days (and for skiing) I use my Mountain Hardware shell over the Alchemy for a nice warm combo. The wind protection is great, and it even does a very good job at keeping water/moisture out. The cuff design is great and very comfortable with light gloves. Fit is a bit snug, so go a size larger if you are in between sizes.
