Great Soft Shell

This jacket is amazingly windproof. It keeps out water very well also. I just got back from 4 powder days in Jackson Hole, and I was amazed at how well this jacket blocked the wind up top. The water repellent treatment could be a little stronger though. I was never wet inside the jacket - which means the jacket served its purpose - but when it warmed up a little the jacket retained some extra water weight. Overall a great soft shell, perfect for spring skiing... and definitely worth the price. I must add a little to this review... The waterproof treatment on this jacket either wears down rather quickly or just doesn't work as well as I originally thought... it didn't perform as well the second trip I used it on. Downgraded from a 5 to a 3, but steal a wicked jacket for the price.
