Backcountry.com Shift Softshell Jacket - Men's
A true multitasker

Ranked #3901 - Men's Softshell Jackets
May 6, 2008
I wore this jacket all through the Great Basin winter. It is a very flexible shell, at home whether downhill skiing, riding the scooter to work, or just doing errands around town. It has that special ability to seem toasty in a wide variety of conditions. I layer a minimalist down sweater under this jacket on the nastiest days. I like the fit, build quality, and color (I would call it "paprika"). I have not climbed in it, body- surfed concrete, or hunted with the Vice President, so I cannot speak for its performance in those extreme conditions. If you are shopping for a soft shell, this bad boy should be on your short list.
