Columbia Wildcard III Softshell Jacket - Men's
Good, not great

I have a previous version of this jacket - It had a different name then but it's the same jacket other than for details. I picked it up in Park City, at the Columbia Outlet store for $88. I'm 182cm tall and of heavy-ish build. The XL size is quite big and loose on me.
The jacket is quite well featured, apart from ventilation, which quite lets it down. Even so, for $200 this jacket is at the cheaper end of the market and, as such, is a bargain. The Columbia brand puts a lot of people off. If you are a brand-snob then you'll probably not be reading this review anyway though. Bottom line: If you are after a fairly cheap, well featured softshell then this is a very good option.
