Backcountry.com marketing not so good...the softshell, however...

By woof07 Ranked #82 - Men's Softshell Jackets February 24, 2009

There are a fricking ton of softshells out there...most of them itchy, cut weirdly, or with Elvis-esque collars that those toolsheds who wear popped-collar polo shirts probably drool over. Why I never heard of this one outside of some late-night searching on Backcountry.com, I have no idea. It absolutely destroys everything else out there. Fits perfectly across the chest and shoulders (hello outdoor companies, are you listening?...they're jackets, not leotards) Perfect length...I want a jacket, not a butt-warmer. Warm as can be with an ultra killer softy fleecy lining, but not too much as to make you sweat.

So...Backcountry marketing department, you are of the suck. You should have a spread of this thing on every mag and gear website. Because your little in-house creation embarrassed the Marmots and North Faces and Arcteryxes in my eyes. Outstanding jacket folks, grab it with no worries and full confidence.
