Millet Super Touring Softshell Jacket - Men's

Item #MIL0006 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Epic.

By Ranked #1 - Men's Softshell Jackets November 26, 2010

This jacket is perfect. It fits like no other garment I've ever worn. You can layer a fleece comfortably underneath it, and yet it has no extra material getting in the way when you're wearing it by itself. It's athletically fitted, and falls just below the waist. The hood is also fitted, so it can go under a hood without any problem, and is comfortable without a helmet. PowerShield is almost windproof and highly water resistant, but don't expect it to block heavy rain for more than about ten minutes. It will start wetting out, but resists water enough that you can create a stable temperature inside the jacket by heating the water inside, making you able to excercise comfortably in the rain, something you won't get with any kind of hardshell. Bottom line: buy it. The jacket isn't cheap, but is so worth the price it's unbelievable. Check out the Kishtwar if you're looking for the same type of jacket. A bit more expensive, but made with Powershield Pro which blocks rain better.
