Ranked #2340 - Men's Softshell Jackets

Fit was good. Quality of construction was excellent. Blocks the wind as stated. Valve... hmmm, In my opinion (and that's all I have) it's way WAY over-priced for what you get. What do you get? (You ask) You get a jacket that is suitable to wear in a very narrow range of temperatures. I was either too cold in it or too warm(depending on the exertion level). It's a very nice looking jacket, though... and you'd look awfully good hanging around the lodge in it, but don't stray too far from the fire if you're idle.
