I now have four of these jackets all in different colors and it's s the only jacket I wear now.  I liked it so much I bought them for all of my employees and had our company logo put on them. We live in the intermountain Rockies where it starts out very cold each day and then warms up rapidly.  Everyone agrees they are very warm, yet lightweight and comfortable, making them perfect for our use.  You will never run out of pockets with this jacket and probably never be cold.  Having now purchased dozens of the Summit Soft Shell jackets, I have yet to have any problems with them as they are well made.  They can be machine washed and look as good as new afterwards.  They are ofcourse tatical in design, but in the darker colors offered they look good in any setting.  For the money, it's a hard jacket to beat!
