The best damn jacket

Ranked #4542 - Men's Softshell Jackets

The Arcteryx, while a bitch to spell and pronounce, is the single best piece of clothing I've ever owned, period (well, except for that codpiece my wife bought for our anniversary...). Seriously, in the first two weeks I owned it I went running in driving rain, hiked Fjords in snowstorms in Norway, and wore it for a frigid sunrise atop Haleakala in Maui, and wore it home from the hospital on a Utah winter morning after major surgery. Warm, dry, and comfy in all situations. Not to mention getting several compliments from striking Viking women, both home and abroad. What more could you want from a jacket?
