Description of Backcountry.com Shift Hooded Softshell Jacket - Women's: |
 |
The 4-way stretch, highly-breathable Backcountry.com Women’s Shift Softshell Jacket reads your mind, knows your deepest desires, and fulfills your dreams in the form of a helmet-friendly, weather-shunning hood. At Backcountry.com, we're not about to slap our logo on a glorified piece of polyester and call it a softshell. We wanted a jacket that could see us through countless ski tours, alpine climbs, and hikes into the highlands. The Shift's wind-resistant Polartec Power Shield softshell fabric fends off light moisture and breathes like a champ to keep you cool when the day warms up. A performance cut ensures a streamlined silhouette that minimizes bulk and maximizes mobility. Internal pockets keep tabs on your iPod, phone, and wallet; fleece-lined pockets warm your digits; and a laminated wrist pocket takes care of your small stuff. When comparable jackets go for close to $300, it would be crazy to let this deal slip away.
Bottom Line: Shift into the next gear of outerwear versatility with the Shift Hooded Softshell Jacket.

| Great jacket 02-27-09 |
Anonymous (2):  |
| This jacket is great for nordic skiing, and I am looking forward to using it while skinning up for backcountry skiing. I wear a small in most things I buy (I'm 5'5" and about 120 lbs), but I got a medium in this jacket because the sleeves and length were a bit short on the small. The medium fits great, and I definitely recommend this jacket. |

| good but misrepresented 12-18-08 |

| The fabric is a lighter gray shown in the picture- a tad darker than the picture of the "steam" hoodless shift softshell. The blue (the background of the current backcountry.com header) zippers add really pretty contrast. By helmet compatible, they must mean people with helmet-HAIR or fits under a helmet, I can't imagine fitting even a super-low volume helmet under the hood. Seems very well constructed though, backcountry.com stuff runs slightly on the small/slim side (what, backcountry enthusiasts are thinner than the average American? No way...) |

| too short 03-09-09 |

| I'm 5'6.6" and 120 and got the medium. It fits nicely throughout and the sleeves are plenty long, BUT its TOO SHORT. A good inch or two shorter than the men's version. I suppose this is good for style, but not functionality. I commute on bike through the winter and don't want a cold mid-drift. I will be returning and trying the men's version. |
