Along with sunrise over the Wasatch or powder exploding like freshly opened bubbly, softshell materials can be savored as one of nature's true miracles. The Wildcard III jacket combines the warmth and weather resistance of hard shell with the lightweight coziness and comfort of your favorite fleece or hoody. Omni-Shield advanced water repellency protects you from the driving snow, while this versatile softshell's stretch properties and low-loft insulation facilitate quick movements; from pole planting to post-run high fives. Activate the removable storm hood to trap your body heat during the deep freeze, removing it when the thaw hits if you so desire. When all the fresh lines get tracked out, snap the protective powder skirt to the jacket lining to keep it out of your way; or remove it completely for running errands around town. Aptly placed media and goggle pockets keep your essentials easily accessible and totally secure.
Great and comfortable
hey! this jacket is just the perfect combination between warm & soft. I've always used jackets too heavy for skiing. With this jacket I got the perfect combination to feel comfortable as well. By the way... perfect packaging ! Congratulations.
Great Color- Happy Warm Teen
Funny I took the same steps as the last reviewer. I am an REI fan but Altrec had a better price. My son says the jacket is warm and comfortable and it looks great on him. Great for snow days and school days. My younger son is eying it with envy.
got one last year, came back for 2 more this year
I bought one last year and I found it so comfortable, lightweight yet very warm; I especially liked the protectiveness of the high neck and the very adjustable hood. Lots of very useful pockets: 2 net ones and 2 regular one on the inside and 3 on the outside. Very sturdy and smooth zipper. I bought 2 more this year, same color (for the years to come) and the only slight downside is that the outer shell seems not as thick and possibly as strong as last year's: very suitable if the jacket is used for winter sports. Still a great jacket for everyday use, I strongly recommend it, excellent value for money.
Very Happy
I shopped at REI to find the product and fit that I liked so that I knew what I was getting and then bought it online at Altrec to save on price, tax and shipping. It's a great jacket for winter sports.
