You don't need to be a Dr. to afford this one.

Ranked #405 - Men's Softshell Jackets
September 19, 2009
I bought the Rime during the labor day sale for $45, and I couldn't be much happier. The prices outdoor garments are going for now-a-days is way overboard! So this buy seemed like a no-brainer at that price. Here's what I like about it: 1) Looks great 2) The fit is slim and the fleece liner feels great on the skin 3) Performs great in windy conditions 4) Repels light rain well 5) Movement is easy, non resrtricting, due of the elasticity and the perfect sleeve length 6)Breathability is great (from my experience) Here's what I didn't like: 1) Length is a little short for guys like me with long torso's, but everyone has their own preference, right? To each his own. 2) The color options are a lacking, I'm not much for bright colors. I like simple ole' black, blue, grey, red, green.
Anyway the complaints are minimal, and do not effect the performance or overall quality of this jacket. Summary; finally you don't have to make a Doctor's salary to afford great outdoor gear!
