Jackson jacket review

By kipoutdoor2106144 Ranked #751 - Men's Softshell Jackets April 8, 2008

I purchased this jacket as an all around water/wind resistant cool weather jacket. The fabric and fit were pleasing and I liked the water resistant zippers. The hood however left a few things to be desired. The drawcords for the hood were set back from the edge of the hood an inch or so making for a bonnet-like apprearance when drawn tight. The rubber drawcord keepers wouldn't keep from loosening when you lifted your head up. I don't downhill ski but wonder if this hood would work better with a helmet. I returned the jacket for the problems with the hood. If you purchase this jacket you might consider your sample of this jacket and the hood issues. Backcountry did make my return easy and for mail order I would definitely shop them again.
