Ranked #410 - Men's Softshell Jackets

Now this is a soft shell and at a great price. I am 6'2" and about 160lbs and the large fits well. It is a bit bulky in the arms but the chest isn't too large and the sleeves are long but a bit of extra baggage. It would be nice if it had an internal pocket and hook and loop closure around the wrists but not a big deal. The fabric is the thickest for a powershield I have seen, thicker than my Gamma MX Hoody. Fabric is super durable and will last for years. The pockets are glued which is a nice addition. Check the Jacket out, you'll be glad you did!
