Ranked #2542 - Men's Softshell Jackets
March 12, 2007
I love this jacket for wearing around town, at work, etc. It has a great form-fitting look, provides some warmth and general protection from the elements, and is durable. HOWEVER, it is NOT wind-resistant enough for skiing, at least in weather below around 25 degrees. The wind cuts through it pretty easily.
