“Sweet shell”

“The schoeller fabrics (WB 400) and treatment (nanosphere) help to set this apart from a crowded softshell market. This is a minimalist jacket, just two hand pockets, no pit zips, no storm flap behind the zipper and a huge helmet compatible hood that is rather floppy without a helmet and does not roll or stow away. The sleeves should be adequately long for most unless you have really long limbs, which I do (36-36" sleeve @ 6'2"), So the thumb loops are hit and miss. But the fabric does have a bit of stretch, which helps a little. The reinforced fabric at the shoulder and hips is a nice touch but tends to pool water in the heavy fabric weave. The material and fabric treatment will handle light rains and snow well. Just keep in mind that it is not seam taped. And the lightly fleeced interior makes this more of a cool weather jacket. Definitely burly with a minimal feature set. If you are the type that needs napolean pockets, interior pockets, neck draw cords, wrist adjustment tabs, snow skirts and a hood for non helmeted head then this, more than likely, is not the jacket for you. For gear nuts it is a functional and well made jacket to include your gear quiver.”
