Ranked #2466 - Men's Softshell Jackets
October 13, 2009
This has been my main winter jacket for several years now, and it has held up well. While not waterproof, it has held up well in all conditions. One downside is that because of it's seams, its not as windproof as some other softshells with taped seams. To be honest though, I've used it well beyond its intended range and have not been disappointed.
