Backcountry.com Shift Welder Hoody - Men's
Great Shell......just not my style
By Matt Schmid
Ranked #2796 - Men's Softshell Jackets
April 21, 2009
I bought this hoping it would fill a gap in my collection of shells. I needed something that was light, comfortable and blocked wind and water. It fit the bill, but I just didn't like the fit and how much the lining stuck to everything I wore. I found myself always going to my Rime pullover or a rain jacket instead of the Welder. With that being the case I decided to return the Welder instead of decorate my closet with it. Now I can afford a new Gore-Tex rain jacket to replace my aging Precip.
