What is the best softshell going round? 22-Mar-2011 At 9:24:48 PM dave h.

I have a Space Junky and am a big fan. It was too cold for resort skiing in NZ (duh, not designed for those conditions...). Worked better for Australian B/C skiing, where I wore it over a lightweight baselayer. I still got steamy skinning up hills but I think that'd happen with any softy, and the best solution is to unzip a bit. If we stopped for lunch etc I put on a thin synthetic jacket. I don't think it's as windproof as a GTX Windstopper jacket but it almost certainly breathes better. I have some pilling on the face fabric but it's pretty minor. If you want something warmer consider the Space Junk''s fleece-lined cousin the Meteor.

Hope that's of some use...
