Great fit, cut, function, and style

Ranked #1466 - Women's Softshell Jackets
December 7, 2007
I love this jacket! The womens jacket is tapered at the waste for a flattering, feminine look. The material is soft and cozy on the inside against your skin, yet the outside layer is firm and durable, without being abrasive or noisy. This material combination has the added benefit of making it hang off the shoulders the way a custom tailored jacket will. This is not a frumpy jacket. You can wear it hiking as easily as you wear it to a dinner party. If you have the body of a teenage boy (all shoulders and arms, small breasts) you will love how feminine this jacket makes you look. As a final touch, it is very difficult to find womens clothing with arms long enough to fit me. This jacket has ample arm length. All in all, I was extremely pleased when I tried it on for the first time, and knew it was a keeper.
