"great jacket" - Review of Backcountry.com Shift Softshell Jacket - Women's

I don't climb, but thought this type of jacket would be good for walking and gardening in the Northwest rain. The rainy season only just started, so I can't speak to the durability of the waterproofing yet. But as you'd expect when brand new, it kept me dry and comfortable on a wet walk the other day. The stretch in the fabric will be helpful when I'm wearing it in the garden. The pocket configuration is really well thought out - the arm pocket is perfect for lip balm. The rest of my waterproof ensemble includes Go Lite softshell Paradox pants, and a nice wide-brim Tilley hat to keep off the rain. On the feet are boots in the garden, and waterproof Brooks Adrenalines on the rainy walks. I think all that stuff is available here :)
