TNF Cipher Windstopper Jacket

By BW Ranked #783 - Men's Softshell Jackets March 24, 2010

This is a very versitile jacket. The updated model (09/10) is lighter than previous years and contains less windstopper throughout the jacket. If you look at the color panels, thats where the windstopper is. everywhere else is a lightweight softshell material that will allow heat to escape but also blocks wind slightly. This jacket performs best in high output activities. If you are standing still, it wont keep you very warm as it is thin and has no lining or insulation.. but than again, they didnt make this one for standing still. The arms are great lenght for dynamic movements and climbing (maybe an inch longer than normal sleeve length). Will also work well for cold weather running. Im 5'10'' 190 and the large fits good with room underneath for a couple of shirts (without being overly baggy). The front torso is a little short, but not a problem in my book. Wrist closures, waist drawcord and hood work well to keep heat in when you need to. High pockets serve their purpose of staying out of the way. Beads water well (not waterproof, but very resistant). Cool style, looks great.
