Ranked #866 - Women's Softshell Jackets
January 9, 2009
My husband just got me this jacket for my birthday, and I'm already loving it. I wore it in 25 degree WINDY weather, and it did a terrific job of blocking the wind. It is more lightweight than some softshells, but the material is more flexible and softer than many others. It does run a little on the small size with a trim, athletic look - definitely fits like a jacket and not a coat, so I don't think you could layer too much underneath unless you went up a size. All in all, backcountry made a super comfortable, soft, attractive, and technical jacket with this one!
