A superb softshell

Fantastic jacket that is a great combo of softshell and light insulation. The very thin lining does indeed allow you to ditch even your middle-layer on relatively cold days. Used it last week in the PNW in 15degree temps and only had a medium thickness first layer on underneath it. Huge pit zips too. A real all-season and into the spring jacket. The other great feature is that there is nothing to catch any of the zippers, ever. no more fumbling with stuck zippers with easy one hand action. no not that type of one hand action. the reflective seams and logo keep you illuminated while you stumble out of the snorting elk bar all f'd up on tequila and into the busy parking lot. why pay for arcteryx. save a few hundie and get in my opinion a better jacket. do it.
