cool weather goodness

By dcgirl Ranked #766 - Women's Softshell Jackets January 7, 2010

Went snowboarding with this jacket in 23*F weather. The short faux-fur lining was perfect along with 1 longjohn top & 1 fleece. It adds just enough fuzzy goodness--not smothering as I found B for Burton's--& underarms have vents if/when found necessary.

No powder skirt, per se, but in the pockets you have toggles to tighten up the hip/waist inside the jacket to help against snow invasion. Not perfect, but if you don't slide on your back a lot, you're all right. :)

Loved the magnetic closures of the zip! Between that & the zip, there's also an easily accessible inner pocket [under the left breast] to store your media in a mini pocket & still enough room for sunglasses & wallet, etc. Leftside pocket has a hook for keys/gloves; i used it for the lift card.

I've got a 36.5 chest, but got Large so I could comfortably wear a sweater if necessary. Maybe a tad squarish like that, but ok due to the "slimmer" cut. Removed the hood so I could fold down the collar. Zipped up all the way, it seemed a bit too stiff & in the way for me. (But I did get large..)

Overall, I'm happy with this jacket. The Platinum, if you're looking for colour specifics, I'd call it more "white stone"
