Backcountry.com Shift Softshell Jacket - Women's

Item #BCC0057 | 13 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Excellent design - very functional!

By Ranked #59 - Women's Softshell Jackets December 27, 2007

I purchased this jacket in Oct 07 and it has performed wonderfully, even at 60+ mph on a motorcycle in 35-40 deg F temps. Very windproof, excellent water resistance, comfortable albeit at times a bit warm for coastal hiking in N. California (that's my fault, I'm just learning how to best use the jacket in the climate here). The cut is excellent, I love the drawstring at the hem (a must), and the pockets are perfect - interior and exterior. People often ask me what the goat is all about, so it is good advertising. All in all - great features, and excellent construction/materials/design.
I guessed at my size and ordered a Med - it works (I'm 5'7" and tend to be a size 6/8) - just long enough in the arms and jacket hem comes over the hips to keep out the drafts, with room for layering underneath.
