686 Plexus Axis Softshell Jacket - Men's
Good, not great.

Eh, this shell is all right. Decent pockets, warm micro-fleece lining. I wish it had more features for the money, like seam-taping or a zip-out powder skirt. It does seem to change color when you walk outside... in bright sunlight it changes from mocha to an olive/puke green hue. I also didn't like how small the waist hem is... it hooks under my butt and limits movement if I crouch or sit down. So a decent shell for mellow days but not a lot of upgrades for when it's time to layer up and hunker down. And unless you're a super skinny dude you might want to size up. I switched it for an Analog Wire jacket, now THAT is a sick shell.

Also the Infi-Dry shell is strange feeling... a little bit like a neoprene wetsuit (thin foam, kinda) which makes it crinkle funny in places.
