A great jacket for high 50's, windy weather. Very comfortable, not stuffy, good sleeve length (for my long arms) - perfect!

tnf zot softshell   11-06-08
noah.pendl2260493 (4): rating
pretty good bang for the buck, snagged it on bco for ~65$. gore windstopper is great, does just that, apex is pretty good too. seems a little fragile, not strictly a soft "shell" in my opinion, more like a stretchy windbreaker. low bulk, layers well. has two inside pockets (not mentioned in the desc.). hand pockets are very small, so be aware. not bad for the price, pretty standard tnf quality (i.e. not perfect). i'd recommend shelling out the extra cash for the OR tremor though, much better featured (of course much more pricey) for only a few more ounces. been in some light rain with the zot, and it's held up ok, my guess is dwr on the apex stuff at least. i'm 5'11" 145, small fits very nicely (i always have to size down on tnf). on the plus side, breathes great.

Great lightweight jacket   10-10-08
byugrad2280156 (6): rating
I was surprised to find that most of the back panel (everything below shoulder level) is Apex Aerobic (the gray stuff). Having said that, the design is actually better for my uses. The Apex stuff is still quite wind resistant but it wicks and breathes a lot better so if you break a little sweat (especially with a pack on) it will let the moisture out a lot easier. The wind stopping abilities don't take that much of a hit either. I took it out on my motorcycle on a chilly morning and at 45mph with the jacket zipped up and the cuffs and hem cinched it cut right through the wind with no problems. Pair this up with a light fleece and I've got my layering combo for cool weather hiking!

pretty nice jacket   09-11-08
hikingPA (5): rating
the windstopper material is only in the colored part of the jacket. the gray under the arms and down the sides is the apex stuff - so don't expect wind to not blow through it. it does allow for adequate breathing and find pitzips unnecessary. the texture of the jacket (both inside and out) feels really nice against bare skin and the zipper has a guard on the back of it to block wind and keep the metal off your skin. the top of the zipper has a little flap that tucks the zipper in so it doesn't scratch your chin. it's a pretty thin jacket so it's best to have some insulation handy if you expect cold temps. the velcro handcuffs are nice and work well, as do 2 locking cords around the waist. the neck is on the larger size. overall i'm pretty pleased w/ this jacket and the price i got it for (<$80 at steepandcheap.com which is a subsidary of backcountry) i can't give this 5 stars b/c it doesn't have a hood

pretty nice jacket   09-11-08
hikingPA (5): rating
the windstopper is in the colored part of the jacket only. the gray under the arms and down the sides is the apex strech material. some wind gets through the apex stuff so don't expect this jacket to block all the wind. the velcro hand cuffs and a 2 cord locks around the waist seal this jacket up pretty nice. it's a bit big in the neck for me and some air gets in there - however i went for a little bigger size than normal so i can layer underneath. have yet to test this in rain/snow. the material is very soft and pliable. it feels good against bare skin. the zipper has a shield behind it to keep the wind out and the metal of the zipper off your skin. it also has a little flap at the top to keep the zipper from scratching your chin. i picked it up on steepandcheap for 80 bucks and am pleased w/ my purchase at that price.

Great Jacket and well worth the $$   09-08-08
stp1_201738218 (1): rating
This jacket fits great and lives up to all my expectations. Big fan of the windstopper by Gore-Tex. Perfect addition for the autumn season coming up soon. Blocks the wind and also has velcro cuffs to adjust if the wind picks up.

Very comfortable. Good fit all around (6'1" 190lb - XL). Great in cool and windy weather. I tried wearing it into early Summer but just had to put it away.
