Description of Backcountry.com Shift Composite Softshell Jacket - Women's: |
We don't use the Goat logo lightly. And we didn't put the Goat logo on the Backcountry.com Women's Shift Composite Softshell Jacket until we absolutely knew we'd rely on it for our own backcountry journeys. The Shift Composite uses Polartec Power Shield fabric to block 98 percent of the wind yet breathes enough that you don't die of heat during your spring ski tour. With four-way stretch and an athletic cut, this water-repellent softshell won't restrict your motions, and it doesn't crinkle and shuffle like hardshells do. An MP3 pocket brings your tunes along on your mountain adventure. At half the cost of a comparable branded jacket, we question your sanity if you don't grab this softshell.
Bottom Line: The versatile Shift Composite covers you in all but the nastiest weather and costs a lot less than those other softshells.

| My husband just got me this jacket for my birthday, and I'm already loving it. I wore it in 25 degree WINDY weather, and it did a terrific job of blocking the wind. It is more lightweight than some softshells, but the material is more flexible and softer than many others. It does run a little on the small size with a trim, athletic look - definitely fits like a jacket and not a coat, so I don't think you could layer too much underneath unless you went up a size. All in all, backcountry made a super comfortable, soft, attractive, and technical jacket with this one! |

| This softshell is short in the waist. The back is extended but it's as long as the front should be. I'm 5'8'' and pretty fit so I got the small so it wouldn't be too boxy. The color is nice and this jacket looks pretty slick otherwise. |

| Ordered this for my wife in a Small, and had to exchange it for a Med. The fit was a little too "athletic" for her. Fit was true to size in the chest, with a bit too much taper into the belly. Very nice softshell jacket! |
