my favorite jacket

By dnr Ranked #4907 - Men's Softshell Jackets April 24, 2007

My favorite jacket. I've used it for over a year downhill skiing, spring
hiking, biking, and around town.
Things I like: It's soft and comfortable and breaths well. It's
close-fitting, but not too close that I can't fit a base layer and a
thick fleece under it. The outer fabric is amazing: it never gets dirty
or scratched up. It's completely windproof. It's warm compared to other
soft-shells, but not too warm for heavy activity. And when I put a
fleece under it, the combination is very warm. It keeps some rain out.
The cuffs are nice and tight without elastic. All the pockets are usable
with a pack on. The only thing that might make this jacket better would
be pit zips, but they're only rarely necessary.
I usually wear a small, but got a medium, which turned out to be the
right choice.
