Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Softshell Jacket - Men's
First Impressions
By Colin Lyman
Ranked #864 - Men's Softshell Jackets
April 3, 2011
Have not had it on the mountain yet but initial impression is that it is better quality than I had expected. I have a small gripe that the cuffs are not adjustible because the wind guard in the inside fits so tightly that I am afraid that it will cut of circulation when my light gloves are layered under it. Godd buy for the money and the DWR sheds rain purty well. I will give a more extensive review when I get back from the Snow Dome of Mt. Olympus WA with it.
