Great fit, impeccable windstopping

By Babak Sakaki Ranked #224 - Men's Softshell Jackets September 26, 2008

SO I just got this jacket earlier today, and I must say its quite an impressive piece. I have tried on the MHW Synchro, Marmot Super Hero and TNF Cipher and must say this jacket has its ups an downs.

Pros:

The length of the arms are great, I got this in an XL but the Cipher in Large.
The availability of pockets is also killer, as are the thumbloops. I have yet to try it in rain, but the windstopping ability of this jacket is incredible. It truly is 100% windproof. The Watertight pit zips on this jacket are also a plus

Cons:

The fabric feels odd against my skin. Its easily the least comfortable Next to skin as compared to the Syncrho or Cipher. The pit zips are what really get me. They are watertight on the outside, but the zipper can rub against your skin. WTF, why isn't there some sort of covering around it? The Super hero felt way better against your skin.
