Ranked #229 - Women's Softshell Jackets
January 30, 2010
got this as a heavier softshell for snowboarding. so far i love it. i wore it on a 5 degree powder day with thin wool layers and stayed warm and dry. in dry mountain west conditions this jacket seems very versatile. not sure about rain or super wet snow but i have worn my arcteryx epsilon in heavy rain and it keeps me dry for a reasonable amount of time. it's very breathable. the fit is trim as described, but well tailored and allows great range of movement. im 5'1" 115lbs and got the xs. the drop tail is a little longer than i would design but im very short so most avg/tall gals probably wont notice. if you are a fan of arcteryx softshell fit and features this won't disappoint. i anticipate getting a lot of wear out of this jacket. if it has a major fault i guess its the price...but i bought on sac!
