Nice jacket, but not for me

By hockeydoc Ranked #1434 - Women's Softshell Jackets March 19, 2007

I wore this jacket once and ended up returning it after skiing at Schweitzer on a spring-like day with dense, misty fog. By noon the jacket was soaking wet. I got it for spring skiing conditions, but realized that I would never use it for Pacific Northwest skiing where the snow is always wet. Otherwise, if I was still living in Utah I would have kept it for those drier conditions. Other than that, the fit was great and I loved the way I could move freely. The helmet-compatible hood, which I didn't initially think was a big deal, I ended up using towards the end of the day when it got a bit chillier. I ended up getting a Gore-Tex shell instead which I used up at Whistler and was perfect. Bottom line is, for wet climates it's probably not as functional, but for drier, colder places it's probably perfect.
