I had to sell it to a friend

Ranked #870 - Men's Softshell Jackets
December 7, 2010
who's taller than me. I was disappointed by how long and baggy around the waist this jacket is. I'm 1.79 cm tall (5.87 ft) and got an M size. I was looking for a softshell with an athletic fit for trail running mostly. This isn't what I was looking for fit-wise at least, I didn't have a chance to try it under rain/ windy conditions so I can't say much else about it.

Try the Mountain Hardwear Transition jacket. It has an athletic fit, and has an unbelievably great combination of windproofness, water resistance, and breathability. I wear mine literally every day for trail running in the winter.
