Ranked #293 - Women's Softshell Jackets
December 17, 2009
OH my gosh I am in love. This jacket is so cozy and it kept me warm hiking in the Sierra Nevadas of Spain in snow. Good for layering in super cold, and good with just a sports bra under on a crisp fall hike. I wear it around town with a t-shirt under in FL winter/Fall or when it rains(40-60 degrees). I was a bit concerned about the lack of pit zips, and it can get toasty if the weather warms up, but that's why you layer! 100% worth it, and you can't beat the sale for the Scarlet one! I am 5'6", 120lbs, and DD and fit in a small, but I do have small shoulders/arms. (I wear small/xsmall shirts) I returned a Marmot because I looked like a Marshmallow stuffed in a plastic bag it was so tight in the chest and too short in the waist. This one has a nice lean cut but enough room to breathe in the chest. It's also a a little longer in the back (barely noticeable) to keep the wind out of your pants. Oh I am just in love :) I even wear it around the house sometimes. It's like the comfort of your bed anywhere you go.
