By Heather McAndrews Ranked #78 - Women's Softshell Jackets August 28, 2008

What I use it for: riding the motorcycle, backcountry hiking, and skiing. I'm testing this thing for sure. I live the in NC mountains.
Plus side: exterior is aesthetically perfect. Zippers are still in tact. Wind resistance has not reduced AT ALL, despite about 5-8 washes.
Negative side: The interior is not good. I have a dog (a pit with short hair) and the hairs are embedded in the lining. It has pilled a lot, which is almost good for wind resistance but no longer soft sans base layer. And the pit zips are annoying. I am small framed and I can never seem to get them in a position that they don't rub. And, really given the wind resistant nature of this jacket, I wonder why they're present in the first place - it's not a summertime item.
I'd like to add that I am a 34DD and the small fits like a glove. Every one's bodies are different and I advise looking hard at the size chart. But for sure, it's cut for a little person.
