BEST SOFT SHELL EVER!!!! (CREME DE LA CREME!)
By Stan
Ranked #3940 - Men's Softshell Jackets
January 2, 2008
I have spent the last few years in search of the "perfect" soft shell jacket to accompany me backcountry skiing. While I have always had my eye on this jacket, the cost was always a huge deterrent for me. Three soft shells later, I finally sprung for this jacket and couldn't have been happier. The larger collar allows me to keep my neck/chin warm on those chilly early mornings. The hood is perfect for keeping my head warm when the wind picks up, and even fits alpine helmets. The zippers (pit zips, and pockets) work very smoothly and open/close without much effort. The chest pockets are placed perfectly to allow operation while wearing a pack. The windstopper fabric that this shell is constructed from is perfect for me as I find myself a "cold" person while outdoors.
In summary, I wished I had just spent the money and not wasted my time with other jackets.
