benjamingrayGreat softshell

Voted 5/5

I compared quite a few softshells to this one before I made the purchase. I decided to go with this jacket due to it's high comfort level and mobility. The jacket is very breathable and has a nice texture inside and out. It also claims to be more weather-proof than other softshells claim, although if there was a chance that the weather was going to test the jacket that much, I'd be bringing a hardshell. I feel this jacket is slightly oversized which I find perfect for layering. Without layers I would not consider this jacket to have an athletic fit.
