Alpine Project WS Soft Shell Jacket - Women's

You may try if you like, but you're unlikely to find a jacket that offers both the wearable comfort, breathability, and mobility of The North Face Women's Alpine Project WS Soft Shell Jacket. This Summit Series softshell features not only a stretchy, abrasion-resistant fabric, but its backed by the GORE WindStopper membrane that also boasts integrated stretch. But while it may be stretchy and breathable, the jacket also completely blocks the wind trying to get to your body (yeah, a 0 CFM rating would qualify as 'completely'). Whether you wear it on its own or as a sleek, warmth-boosting layer under your hard shell, the Alpine Project represents the end of your quest for the ideal high-altitude performance softshell.
