From Backcountry.com:
"We pushed Backcountry.com's exclusive Men's Shift Softshell Jacket through near-endless iterations of development and testing, refusing to apply the Goat logo until it was something we'd depend on for our own backcountry adventures. Whether you love to ski tour, alpine climb, or hike, this lightweight softshell will quickly become one of the most versatile and favored pieces in your outerwear arsenal. The Shift's Polartec Power Shield softshell fabric blocks 98% of the wind, wraps you in hyper-breathable warmth that never approaches too hot, and features a water-repellent surface that blocks everything short of a downpour. The performance cut creates an unrestrictive, form-fitting jacket that stretches with your movements - ideal for highly aerobic activities. Tote your tunes in the Shift's interior MP3 pocket, stash your small stuff in the laminated left wrist pocket, and reserve the interior security pocket for keys and phone. At a price that's 50-80% less than comparable jackets, honestly, we'll question your sanity if you don't snag this thing."

"I really didn't need another jacket, but have wanted a softshell for a while. I'm partial to Mountain Hardwear stuff, but when the Backcountry Shift came up on their outlet site for just under $50, I couldn't pass it up.

The Shift has gotten great reviews on their site with many users comparing it favorably to some Arc'teryx softshells for way less cash."
