Fill: Gore-tex lined
Price Paid: $120

I bought this jacket off the closeout rack of a neighborhood camping/outdoor store. My wife actually spotted it and insisted I try it on. Because we do a lot of outdoor sports and walking we are always on the lookout for decently made gear.

The jacket fits very well and feels light. After using it for awhile now, it is durable, and cleans well. It is also very warm. The outer layer is not the typical outer layer you find on many Gore-tex jackets. Whatever nylon is used, I like it. It has held up much better than the three Gore-tex parka jackets the Army has issued me.

The jacket can be divided into just an outside wind breaker, or just a soft shell jacket or both adapting to all seasons and environments. The back bottom of the jacket extends down further to keep your butt warm and out of the inclement weather. It has pockets galore. This is a very versatile and tuff jacket for a wide varety of weather.
