Ranked #272 - Men's Softshell Jackets
September 8, 2008
This softshell is more fashion than purposeful. No doubt it is nice looking but is a very thin fabric and not that warm. It has perhaps too many pockets and lacks things like a cinch cord on the collar, pit zips and cuff adjustment tabs that competitor softshells have. Now that is made in China and not Canada it is in my opinion very overpriced at over $300. It is very much riding on the Arcteryx brand name.
