Description of DC Spectrum Soft Shell Jacket - Men's:
The DC Spectrum Soft Shell Jacket brings hoody style to the snowy slopes. DC doused this fire with tons of waterproofing so you stay dry. A fleece lining keeps your flames hot and hand gaiters with thumb holes pull the sleeves down while keeping the white out.

I love this shell. It fits about like a hoodie and has front pockets, arm pocket, tune pocket... The bonded fleece liner is really nice, and the 10k exotex is supple and smooth. I expected to use it more as a spring jacket, but it'll go nicely with a bit of layering on the cold days.
I was looking for a softshell that fell more under the hoodie category than the jacket category and I also wanted it to have at least 10k waterproofing. Fortunately, I found the Spectrum and it was exactly what I was looking for. The Spectrum looks and feels just like a hoodie but has all the tech features of a regular jacket. From pit zips to snow skirt, media pocket to pass pocket, this softshell has it all. I bought it primarily for spring riding but I'm sure it can be used by itself on some of the warmer days and even on colder days if you add some layering. I'm 5'9", 150 lbs, and originally I ordered a large, which wound up being a little baggier than I like, so I reordered a medium off of Brociety at a great price. It does fit true to size though, DC's sizing chart is pretty accurate, I had just ordered it too big in the first place. Lastly, the colorways on this jacket are sick, I've had tons of people compliment me on the black stripe pattern.
I bought this jacket in June for some summer snowboarding. My wife and I spent a weekend at timberline, and this jacket was great day and night. Also the powder skirt keeps slush out on those warm days. I would definetly recomend this jacket. I'm very excited to use this jacket this fall and winter.
