Stoic Welder Hi Softshell Jacket - Men's
Beat out the competition
By Sonya
Ranked #74 - Men's Softshell Jackets
December 30, 2011
I wanted a winter-weight softshell for rural living and snowboarding. This one gets the prize. The fabric is soft and moves really smoothly, with no pull at all at the armpits or elbows. Even lifting my arms up and waving them about, there's no lift at the waist. I'm 5'7, 140, the M fits me perfectly. The high loft fleece is super-soft, I can barely tell I'm wearing it. Sleeves are a little long, but the velcro at the wrists solves that problem for me (EMS Fader felt almost as nice, AND no wrist velcro).
Haven't tried it in water yet, but outside in this and shorts, with low exertion in 30 degrees, I was comfortable. Not too hot, not even cool. Perfect.
