Good Jacket, but not for me.

I have a Norrona GTX shell that I use all the time snowboarding and it's great. When I saw this jacket I was pretty stoked, as I've been looking for a good quality softshell and I really like the fact that you don't see Norrona everywhere. Unfortunately, when I got it the real thing wasn't quite like it looked on my monitor - my two main issues were the color and the length in back. Online I loved the green color, but when I opened the package it was very bright - like neon 80's bright. As for the fit, it drops down a lot lower in the back than it looks online. Great for certain activities, but not for my taste or how I intended to use it. If it had been $100 cheaper, I probably would have just lived with these issues (and probably loved it), but when I'm spending that king of $ on a jacket I've got to really like it. I agree with DeskDiver, though, material-wise and fit-wise I was very impressed. If you're looking for a very bright technical softshell that drops down really low in the back, look no further. If you're not, keep looking (or go with the black).
