Ranked #1296 - Men's Softshell Jackets
January 20, 2009
Just got this a few days ago, sizing is typical. I'm 5'7" 175 with broad shoulders. I got the large and the athletic cut fits well. I still have room for a couple of layers. Sleeves are long enough that when I reach up, they don't pull. The microfleece liner is perfect so that the jacket feels substantial instead of a thin shell. The length is a little longer than a ARC Gamma sv. I got the Jacket in Raven, its BROWN. I really like the fact that this jacket has windbloc. CONS- THE ONLY thing I don't like about this jacket is the zipper and the ridge/tube right next to the zipper. The zipper construction makes the front of the jacket (ZIPPER) really stiff. If you look at the close up picture of the jacket (front zipper) you'll see the big tubes that run along next to the zipper on both sides of the zipper. This construction makes the jacket really stiff in the zipper only.
