Ranked #783 - Men's Softshell Jackets

My first soft-shell and possibly still my favorite. Before you consider this jacket, read many of the reviews and make an informed decision on how you will use this jacket. This one really is a purpose piece. Consider a different soft-shell if you are loooking for a casual jacket. High alpine pockets, very short front torso.. might as welll have a sign on it that says "use with harness". The cut and climbing specific features dont bode well for the casual consumer looking for a jacket. Read on for further details..
