Marmot La Grave Softshell Jacket - Men's
Excellent shell if the price is right

I recently purchased this jacket off SAC for $200, so right off the bat, it's getting five stars (more if I could). But I've been pleasantly surprised so far by the performance and quality of the La Grave softshell (it's more of a hybrid if you ask me). While the fit is snug, the XL is a perfect fit for me at 5'10", 215lbs. And there's enough room for a midweight baselayer and 100wt fleece underneath. A couple of weeks ago, I was wearing this jacket up to Berthoud Pass and I barely felt the 40+ mph sustained winds along the 12,000-foot ridge.
