Great waterproof softshell

By Icerider Ranked #2950 - Men's Softshell Jackets March 17, 2009

The Mithril is just an awesome softshell jacket. I've worn it in snow storms on Mt Baker to pouring rain in San Francisco and it's provided great wind and wetness protection every time. The material does soak up h2o a bit when things get really wet, but it stays dry and toasty on the inside. The sleeves are a bit shorter than you might see on many hardshells but that's probably b/c it would suck to have the thick (as compared to a hardshell) material bunching up too much. Hood could be made a little larger - although it will squeeze over a skihelmet. OR could consider adding pitzips (which would add weight) but it vents through the chest pockets if open. Must be one of the best deals out there...
