Great Softshell Jacket for the money

I bought the Wildcard as an "around town" jacket for the harsh winters in Iowa and have been more than pleased with it's warmth and versatility. I've logged a few 25,000 vertical feet days in it as well and it has held up great. Plenty of pockets, a helmet compatible hood and other than the lack of pit zips, this jacket is as good and as warm as anything on the market. If you are looking for a functional, warm and great looking jacket, the Wildcard Softshell is it. It's tough to really categorize this as a softshell due to it's weight and warmth. It is as much coat as I ever need. The colors are a little generic and it runs roomy as I am 6' 252 lbs and an XL fits perfect with just enough room for a midlayer. Bottom line, for the $$ you wont find a better softshell.
