Description of Cloudveil Serendipity Jacket - Women's:
The Serendipity Jacket marks Cloudveil's flagship piece in their soft shell line because of their superior fit and breathability. The Serendipity's face is made from Schoeller Dryskin Extreme fabric, a blend of materials including lycra, that has a stretchy quality to it for unparalleled freedom of movement while also including extreme breathability. Other qualities like the Polartec lining on the Serendipity's collar help create a great wear for winter sports where you're moving and breaking a sweat. Other distinguishing features include a pack friendly streamlined waist, low bulk storm cuffs that are just plain slick, and two ever handy Napoleon pockets.
Bottom Line: If you're going to go with a soft shell, go with one made by winter enthusiasts for winter enthusiasts.
I love the material of this jacket - way more stretchy and softer than any other brand of softshell I've found. Unfortunately, the cut did not work for me. It has much more of an hour glass shape than it seems to in the photo. So it looked silly on me as I'm kinda tall and skinny. I had to return it.
I wear this jacket in all weather, either by itself or under my hardshell. It's super comfy, yet light weight. Tons of good pocket room for extra gloves, ipod, whatever. Plus it has a nice look.
