Backcountry.com Rime Pullover Jacket - Men's

Item #BCC0166 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Nice for the slenderly built

By Ranked #2420 - Men's Softshell Jackets October 7, 2009

Just got one of these off of steep and cheap. I'm about 5'10.5" (:-p) and this seems pretty short. It's not ridiculous, but short about like the Prime Agnello, and since I plan to layer them together, it's probably not a bad thing. The back seems a tad longer than the front, which I like. At 145 lbs, the fit is otherwise pretty good. Arms are a good length and have room for long underwear and a light (athletically cut) fleece underneath, although sometimes theres a little bunch under the armpits. Thanks to Geartrade.com & Steapandcheap.com, I have a pretty solid set of layers for the fall for less than $100! This will be a great replacement for my 10 year old Moutain Hardwear Windstopper jacket at half the weight! (Although not quite as warm/windproof, there are always trade-offs).
