The winter weight soft shell in the Wild Things line, the Soft Shell Jacket provides warmth and four-season protection, making it a great all purpose jacket.The body is made of a four-way stretch nylon/spandex blended fabric bonded to hydrophobic polyester grid fleece, maintaining the high stretch and memory characteristics of a soft shell, while adding the warmth and comfort of fleece. A high collar protects the neck from the elements, and a full zip front entry allows this jacket to come on and off easily. Inset sleeve pockets stretch as the wearer moves. Zippered hand pockets are made with mesh pocket bags to give stored objects the chance to breathe and air out. These pockets are finished on the interior so the wearer can stuff whatever extra gear they've got into a safe place. Pit zips provide for ventilation, ensuring the user's comfort, and at 20 inches, they can vent however much they want, where they want. A dropped tail offers additional protection when crouching low.
