Description of Backcountry.com Shift Welder Hoody - Men's: |
 |
Less acetylene and oxygen and more non-bulky, lightweight awesomeness, the Backcountry.com Men’s Shift Welder Hoody spends more time on the mountain and less in the garage. Weighing in at only 22-ounces (635g), this hooded softshell trumps your old go-to softy. Power Shield softshell fabric fends off all but the worst of Mother Nature’s nastiness without leaving you all steamy on the uptrack—the Welder breathes better than a Lamaze coach. Fully-welded seams add further weather protection, while eliminating the bulk and rub routine common in other standard seam softshells. Toss your tunes into the internal chest pocket—the sound portal will finally establish peace between you and your headphone cords. The fully-adjustable hood fits over helmets and beanies alike—making the Welder a great partner whether you’re skiing the deeps or stuck on belay. Layer over a t-shirt or a few more layers—the Welder’s athletic, ergo cut adds a fourth dimension to Power Shield softshell fabric’s dynamic fit.
Bottom Line: Fused dynamism—welcome to the future.

| Review Updated- Its blizzard proof! 12-21-08 |
Babak Sakaki (39):  |
| I am writing this from the University of Utah library, to where I have trudged 2 miles uphill in my Shift Welder hoody to complete a paper. I had no intention of writing another review, but its performance today compels me to write this.
Its a complete blizzard right now in Salt lake city, with winds up to 20+ and snow making it a total whiteout. All I wore was my R1 fleece underneath, and I was COMPLETELY warm and dry the entire way. I was so gracious for the fleece lined pockets for I had left my gloves at home (stupid, I know). The cut of this jacket allowed for complete protection from the elements, while the materials allowed for an uncompromising range of motion.
Its seriously the best jacket I own. |

| Super Cool 03-11-09 |
| Tyson Bolduc (26): |
| This is the sweetest jacket/soft shell I have ever worn. Just last week I was in a restaurant and my buddy spilled a full cup of Hawaiian Punch across the table and all over me. I stood up and the juice just beaded off. I was dry and the jacket was not colored or stained at all. Furthermore, in the cold this jacket is wind-proof and worm. Great color options and an all round sweet coat. |

| Best Jacket- Period. Does it all! 12-15-08 |
| Babak Sakaki (39): |
| I have literally waited months for a jacket of this type. Truly, this is your do it all softshell. From skiing, to climbing, to biking and just hanging around, this jacket does it all. Its INCREDIBLY water resistant, almost waterproof even, and has a fit that is honestly second to none. All of the nice little features really round out this jacket: the in pocket hem cinches, the fully adjustable hood, the awesome double zippers and pockets (fleece lined), complete with impeccable articulation on the arms truly make this jacket your go to softshell. This jacket will easily replace three of my current jackets the thing that can do it all.
GET IT this jacket you wont regret it. I have owned a number of different softshell, such as the MHW Dragon, TNF Cipher, Marmot Super Hero and Patagonia Slopestyle and the Welder beats them all in both fit and comfort. A word about the Carbon color, its a bit lighter than the picture tells, more like a grayish than gunmetal. |
