Backcountry.com Shift Softshell Jacket - Men's
New Favorite Jacket
By Howie F.
January 9, 2008
This is my newest favorite piece of outerwear. Last Saturday I skied at Mt. Sunapee, NH and a cute "liftie" said "great looking jacket".
It's not too often that an old fart like me gets the attention of a young lady. Not only that, it works for tooling around town or as the layer before my shell. It's not quite warm enough for alpine skiing in the really cold weather, but it will be great on the X-C trails. The only addition I would make is a ring for the lift ticket so that I don't have to put stress on the zipper.
