Arc'teryx Venta SV Softshell Jacket - Men's
Highly Waterproof, Nice to wear

Ranked #1284 - Men's Softshell Jackets

As good as is expensive. I took this Jacket for glacier travel and ice climbing in New Zealand. After full day
walking and climbing on the pouring rain I was impressed with this
highly waterproof softshell. The Pitzips and the helmet compatible
hood work seamlessly. This jacket keeps you happy while you swinging your axes and wear your harness. Colours and looks however, differ a lot from the picture - The Arc'teryx guys "retouch" these photos excessively. I have not tested it in cold weather though.
