Good solid jacket

By jinkside Ranked #2102 - Men's Softshell Jackets January 23, 2010

I've been wearing this jacket for over a year now, and I can say very few bad things about it. It's warm without being too warm, and is suitable for weather from just above freezing to about 70F. I use it in Portland on my bike, and its warmth and water resistance have yet to fail me. If you're in a downpour, I imagine water would eventually start to soak through in the shoulders, but not for a good 15-20 minutes, and it would need to be some pretty serious rain.
At least on my 200-pound frame, it's far too warm to jog in. Also, I'd like one or two more buttons on all the adjustable areas. The ones that are there are not quite enough, and an intermediate step would be really nice.
On top of that, I damaged one of the buttons on mine and Lacrosse customer service is awesome enough that - even a year and a half after buying it - they're taking care of that for me, free of charge. I don't know if that's their policy or I just got lucky, but they're certainly won me over.
