Nice soft shell jacket

By Diesel Ranked #802 - Men's Softshell Jackets December 11, 2008

Nice soft shell jacket that I use as my everyday jacket in and around NYC. I usually wear a short sleeve polo shirt, a thin fleece, and this jacket and am fine in temperatures down to 30 degrees or less. This is a soft shell jacket with minimal insulation so others who have complained about requiring layers with this jacket, keep in mind, that is the point of this jacket. it's a soft "shell". The windproof works great, I don't feel any wind flowing through the jacket and it can get quite windy where i live. Also, i'm 6 ft 185 lbs with a muscular build and the large fits me perfectly. The cut of the jacket is a little boxier and not as "athletic" as other acteryx jackets (i also have the Alpha SV), however, the additional room is nice to be able to throw additional layers underneath including a thick fleece. All in all, the fit is still nice. Once last thing is that this particular jacket is made in China and not Canada, however the craftsmanship still looks top notch but only time will tell.......
