Softshell Jacket Under $100


It can be hard to find a technical jacket under $100 these days, but Phil and I have both been getting a lot of use from two Mountain Hardwear Softshell Jackets that are priced right under $100. Phil's Offwidth Jacket is an athletic cut jacket with a good amount of stretch. It is not so techy that he can't wear it around town, yet it allows the mobility to climb or hike in it.

Women looking for a hooded jacket will like the Chockstone Jacket. Mine has become a daily staple, and I particularly like the trimmed down features, again making it a very versatile climbing, traveling or pub-touring piece. Both jackets shed water in a light rain, yet have a lot more stretch than your average rain shell, making them nearly as comfortable as a fleece. If the skies really open up, you will need a true rain shell, but both the Offwidth and the Chockstone have proven to be great, streamlined softshells for outdoor fun.
