Patagonia Ascensionist Softshell Jacket - Men's
Pretty nice

Got this on sale and because I wanted a softshell with a hood. I got a large and also have a large-size Arcteryx Gamma MX. This one fits looser and is longer in the body and in the sleeves than the Gamma MX. It also doesn't have any fleece on the inside like the Arcteryx (but I knew this and actually this was a desired quality). So anyway, this is nice, stripped down softshell. It's pretty water-resistant but extremely breathable because it doesn't have any sort of fleece lining or a ton of pockets taking up space on the inside. The length is great for wearing a pack and my only minor complaint is that the collar is cut pretty high and sort of rubs against my chin in an awkward way. Pretty good jacket!
