Ranked #1198 - Men's Softshell Jackets
July 17, 2009
pretty rock solid for transition month casual wear, winter activities, or layering whenever. low profile amazingness.
I was lucky enough to pick one up pre-china manufacturing switch + from my experience the first china run seems to be lacking in fit consistency. I tried them (canada vs china) on side by side + the china one seems to be much more baggy around the ribs + pits, which is not a good thing as far as I am concerned. Hopefully they will work thru this hiccup.
Performance-wise, it will stand up to wind + water with the best of the softshells, but I can't recommend it for a deluge (which is not what its for anyway).
The chest pockets are less cumbersome/awkward than I anticipated even without a pack on.
