Ranked #1411 - Men's Softshell Jackets
January 20, 2010
First my measurements. 45inch chest, 34 inch arm, 17inch neck, 36 inch waist. The XL fit me perfectly, not to snug not too baggy. My lady even said that it was good looking enough to wear around town.
I bought this jacket in the orange color. i got it for two reasons. one for running in the cold weather and two, for snowboarding.
I live in Chicago and during the winter i run outside, as long as it is above 0. I have taken this jacket out in the cold, 20's (not including wind chill) and have loved it. It stops the wind and keeps out the wet weather. Tonight there was freezing rain that were no chalenge.
The breathability is great on this jacket, I have yet to overheat. (even in slightly warmer weather 40s)
All around it is a great jacket for me needs, the fit is good, it serves its purpose and it doesnt bind up on me when wearing for a run or around town.
