THE ski/snowboard jacket for most people
By PAJL
Ranked #181 - Men's Softshell Jackets
February 1, 2008
This jacket is windproof and water-repellent enough for 95% of situations, and has all the essential features without adding weight or bulk. Unlike most true softshells, however, this jacket is not lined and does not insulate. It is cut roomy enough to allow for layering underneath, like you would with a traditional hard shell. Unlike a hardshell though, this jacket is very breathable and stretchy, meaning you can wear it in thick of winter with a fleece underneath or alone over a baselayer in the spring.
