By Ranked #2668 - Men's Softshell Jackets July 10, 2009

I just picked up a new genesis for 180 cad. I had a OR MITHRIL that was a decent Jacket pretty waterproof but was tight under the arms in a medium and a largewas to big. I also have an arcteryx gamma mx hoody that is super comfortable but kind of thin and does not offer the level of protection that my new genisis does this thing feels bombproof definitely a winter weight softshell. I love the attention to detail pitzips work one handed easily drawstrings are excellent hood is excellent the looks of this jacket are as amazing atheletic fit but room one middle layer all I need in Vancouver weather.My few minor complaints are velcro on sleeves and back of hood does not feel to sticky and may move when wet, jacket could be about an inch longer that would be great.but by no means are these minor issues deal breakers as all in all form fit and function as well as looks are great
