Hey, all.
I am looking for a soft shell jacket that has specific features for backpacking. There are lots of them that I have found that have a handful of my desired features, but none that I have found that have them all. Any help? A VERY close one is the Tru Spec 24/7 softshell ... but it is missing the windproof feature I need. Condors soft shells are close, but lack the size zips for CCW. Features I desire: Sleeve pockets Front hand warmer pockets Underarm zip vents Side zips for access to concealed carry YKK zippers WINDPROOF and breathable Adjustable arm cuffs Mandarin collar Good down to about 40 degrees (subjective, I know) water resistance is nice but not a deal breaker (I really don't want waterproof as it doesn't breathe as well.. .even Goretex) It doesn't have to be tactical (I realize it might be hard to find CCW size zips on non "tactical" jackets though) Athletic/tapered cut would be nice but not required Vertical chest zip pocket would be not but not a deal breaker Color of gray or something neutral that isn't coyote or camo. Less that $200 (this is negotiable if I get that "wow" factor from it) I'm not very demanding... haha. Thank for any help you can offer! Yirmeyahu |

Vertx Softshell (the regular, not ops version).
Has side zips to access your CCW. Navy color is on sale on their website for $129. Edit: only thing it doesn't have are the shoulder arm pockets Also, softshells by nature will be windproof in some degree, regardless of it being advertised as being windproof or not. |
