My New go to Jacket

I really like this jacket! The red is different and keeps me visible and identifiable to my students in snowboard lessons. The jacket keeps wind and rain out althoungh it is not weather proof, but rather Very weather resistant. After teaching in 4 hours of rain the jacket finally let the water through but I could not ask for any thing more from a softshell. I was very impressed! I wish the interior and sleeve pockets were a bit bigger and direct venting through the pockets would be a great upgrade as spring aproaches. I'm not complaining, this is my go to jacket until it rains again. Only then do I grab my Arcteryx Goretex. I would recommend this jacket to anyone looking of a technical softsell with great features, great fit, and great savings over other brand names.
