Best backcountry jacket
By Dave Peck
Ranked #4542 - Men's Softshell Jackets
February 13, 2004
The Alpha Comp Hoody has turned out to be the perfect jacket for touring and sunny days in the resort. Plenty dry and windproof enough, but so much lighter and more breathable than my Marmot Goretex. Gets lots of style comments too. Good suggestion by BackcountryStore.com!
