Quality Softshell Jacket

Ranked #280 - Men's Softshell Jackets
January 7, 2009
I've worn this jacket a few times for an early morning snowboard session at my local mountain temps each day were 22-25F. Jacket was warm with a couple of base layers and I love the fact that I didn't need a big bulky coat to get the warmth I needed. One day we experienced a fair amount of wind and the MH Softshell did an awesome job keeping it out. The neck synch is a great feature and easy to use. I'm 5'10" 160 lbs. regular build. I debated between the medium and large so ordered both. The medium was the perfect fit with just one layer but left no additional room to work with. Returned the medium (it's really easy to do with Backcountry) kept the large and I'm very glad I did. Oh yeah, the MH logo looks cool too!
