High quality jacket for reasonable price - Condor Outdoor Summit Softshell Jacket

I got this item about 2 weeks ago and have worn it daily in nasty Pacific Northwest winter weather: chilly temps, drizzle, frequent wind. I am very impressed at this very light-weight jacket's ability to keep out the wind and, with just a light wool or down layer underneath, keep me plenty warm. The overall quality is high, with good zippers, multiple deep pockets inside and out, and an oversized hood that rolls nicely into the collar (providing additional insulation for the back of the neck). It's a "tactical" jacket so be aware of the one peculiar design feature if you're just getting for everyday use: the front pockets are chest high, not at the waist/stomach area, so it's a little odd if you're used to sticking your hands in your coat pockets when outside. (The design lets the user access the front pockets while wearing a tactical vest with mag pouches and other gear)

Quick note on size, which some people say runs small. Not in my experience. I'm 6', 200 pounds, and pretty long arms (34-35" shirt sleeves). The Large fits me perfectly. I tried an XL but returned it. It was too big... kind of floppy and the sleeves drooped down to the knuckles on my hands.

If this had another brand name on it, like North Face or Eddie Bauer, you'd easily pay 2-3 times as much. If you're on the fence, just get it.
