Millet Super Touring Softshell Jacket - Men's

Item #MIL0006 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Best piece in 40-65 deg weather

By Ranked #722 - Men's Softshell Jackets October 6, 2010

I ended up buying this after posting my question below. It worked great in Alaska, and since. A nice fleece interior, but very thin. This thing is made to block wind and breath, not accentuate warmth. It will do the trick from 45-65 with just a T-shirt on below it, use a thin fleece to take you down a bit lower. Water beads well for now. Only thing it could use is a wire brim hood like the RAB stuff.Power shield is great and I think it's even superior to Polartecs new Powershield Pro. I saw the new Pro stuff at a store and the membrane is too apparent and feels like it would be tacky in the least bit sweat. Not so with old powershield. Take all that part with a grain of salt though, since i didn get to test the new powershield pro.It fits long, which I find nice.I am 5ft11 and the L (XL on the tag) fits well.
