Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Softshell Jacket - Men's
5 Years and Going Strong
By Kevin Curry
Ranked #1885 - Men's Softshell Jackets
May 4, 2009
I've had this jacket for five years and it looks and functions just as well as day 1. I even crashed on my bike a few times and the jacket only has a few minor scrapes. I almost never pull out my shell because this thing repels all but heavy rain and wind doesn't stand a chance. I'm a jacket whore and I have jackets hanging all around my room, but I always grab for the alchemy. It's an athletic cut so big guys might have trouble getting a good fit.
