Description of Backcountry.com Shift Composite Jacket - Men's: |
We didn't put the Goat logo on the Backcountry.com Men's Shift Composite Softshell Jacket until we'd tested the hell out of it and knew we'd rely on it for our own backcountry adventures. We at Backcountry.com used Polartec Power Shield fabric, which blocks 98 percent of the wind yet lets enough air circulate that you don't swelter during your spring mountaineering journey. With four-way stretch fabric and an athletic cut, this water-repellent softshell moves with you and doesn't make crinkly, shuffly noises like hardshells do. An MP3 pocket and a hidden security pocket that holds your keys and cell make the Shift Composite practical off the mountain, too. Oh, and did we mention this jacket costs half what a comparable branded jacket does?
Bottom Line: Whether you love to ski, alpine climb, or hike, the versatile, affordable Shift Composite Softshell will quickly become your favorite jacket.

| Recieved my jacket, seems to be very well built and much warmer than I antisapated even though it's so thin. I wear mine with 2 thermal layers underneath and large fits me perfect, I'm 5'10 200lbs.
Works perfect for me under my ground technical shell. |

| Got this jacket and the regular shift, which doesn't have the thinner polartech stretch panels. I'm keeping this one because of the color (black/gray instead of my red shift), and am overall happy with it for climbing / walking around town. It's stretchy enough for climbing easy long routes. I took it to Red Rocks in December, and found it to be adequate with two thin base layers and a wool mid-layer underneath, in 35-42 degree weather on a multipitch climb.
pros:
- really excellent athletic fit. looks great. if you're in shape, you won't find this jacket too baggy like a lot of other softshells.
- nice and stretchy and waterproof
- extra pocket inside the main right-hand pocket, good for keys or ipod
- goat logo
cons:
- forearm pocket isn't in a great place, and is unfunctionally small
- the power stretch panels ARE colder than the rest of the jacket |
