I've had my Soft Shell for 2 years now and I find it to be incredibly useful. The inside is lined with micro-fleece and is comparable to a Northface jacket. The outside is wind and water proof. It features a convenient zippered compartment for the hood which can be drawn closed with pulls. The two large front pockets are big enough to accommodate a glock 17 or 2 M16 mags. The two sleeve pockets are lined and can hold a Black Berry storm or Iphone as well as a tactical Light or other small item. The main advantage of this jacket is the ventilation system in the arms pits and lower back. The vents make it comfortable to wear in 60 degree weather. The jacket itself is the warmest winter jacket I've ever worn. I've worn Spider, Northface and Columbia Sportswear, this easily beats all of them.
