almost perfect- with a few shortcomings

By dmp Ranked #2399 - Men's Softshell Jackets October 25, 2009

This is a great jacket- I have had mine for about 2 years (the Canadian made version). It's warm when it is cold outside, comfortable when it's not so cold, highly abrasion resistant, sheds snow without ever wetting out. I have only 3 minor complaints: The collar is not high enough and lacks an adjustment to cinch it up when the wind is blowing. The design of the MH Alchemy's collar is far better. The jacket is just a bit short, even when considering that it is fit to wear with a climbing harness- it tends to ride up a bit. An inch or 2 more would make all the difference. And it needs one more pocket, a small one either on the left chest or on the left sleeve. I need a place to stash a pair of glasses, chapsitck or a compass without it getting lost in the large Napoleon pockets.
