My God its Good
By Nicholas Skog Ranked #990 – Men’s Softshell Jackets 2 days ago
Been wearing it for a few days now and I don’t think I want to ever wear another jacket again. This jacket just arrived in time for a cold windy set of days and am I glad. Standing in this jacket in the wind is pretty much the same as standing in it when it is still. The wind is completely blocked!
Its weight and thickness are deceiving. Despite it having the feel and weight of something much less bomber (you could compare it to a track warm-up), this jacket is warmer than pretty much any other single item that I have worn. Although all I have said about it makes it seem like you would only wear this jacket on harsher days, that is not the case at all. I just wore it for a 2 hour car ride in which time I would normally find just a plain hoody too hot. This jacket was perfectly comfortably thanks to the core venting/breathability.
As a last comment about the jacket, its design is very well thought out. The material is solid, the seams are reinforced in places of common wear and the pockets are placed in a way that increases convenience to the wearer.
As the Angus said in his review god bless you Bill from backcountry. You have made my dream of the perfect soft shell jacket a reality.
FYI I am 5′7″ ~150lbs with an athletic build and a medium is the perfect size for me (also allows for layering if desired).
