Rated 5 out of 5 by goose Great Jacket, better with a Hood
This is the best fitting softshell I have ever tried on. Before they made the hooded jacket I bought two of the jackets. I am 6'2" tall and 170 lbs. Most Large Tall LLBean jackets were too big in the stomach (as in a big gut). When I tried the Medium Tall, it was just about perfect. The sleeves are a little bit short, but for the fit of the body, I will put up with it. The fabric is wonderful! Windproof and water resistant. You can wear it with a mild temperature and you can layer it with merino wool (or other) to get by in colder weather. I find myself wearing it on my early morning bike rides and then end up wearing it to work. Now that there is a hood, one that zips up to below the mouth, and adjusts to around my face, I can wear it in more inclement weather.
It washes well, and dries easily. It looks brand new every time you wash it.
The stretchy fleece gaiter in the sleeves eliminates the need for any kind of wool shredding velcro closures. The pockets unzip for ventilation if needed.
Thank you LLBean!

As usual, this LLBean purchase did not disappoint. Warm yet light weight and breathable. Comfortable and flexible to wear while out and about in any sort of activity!

As others stated, it is a PERFECT fall jacket... I am 16 and agree LLBean has generally has "older" clothing, but this is a prefect blend of function/look. My friend actually commented on it yesterday...
The coldest I have been out with it was about 40 degrees and it kept me pretty warm... I would not want to wear it when it gets <25 degrees...(keep in mind it is NOT a dead winter jacket)
It is also GREAT with wind... I especially like that the ends of the sleeves keep the cold air out.
THIS IS A PERFECT FALL JACKET...

I needed a cool to cold weather jacket that also had a some style to it for dressing it up, this works just fine. The hood is a little big for my head though, but will still shed off the light rain and wind. I will use it in 40+ temps. Nice fit.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jamhard Pathfinder soft-shell hooded jacket
I just received this jacked last week and have used it a couple of times already. Living in Fl. you don't need a heavy jacked most of the time. This is what I need for cool temperatures and rain. Light weight, warm, and keeps you dry.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bluemoon2 Does what I want
I was looking for an early fall/late spring jacket and this foots the bill. Well constructed and does what it says it's supposed to do. I especially like the extra fleece barrier inside the end of the sleeves to keep the warmth in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by llamclean Exactly what I was looking for
I have been looking for a nice soft-shell, comfortable jacket. I saw the Pathfinder Soft-Shell Hooded jacket in the Freeport store and thought it was exactly what I was looking for.
In action, it has been perfect. In a light rain the other day, it was great to see the water beading up and rolling off. Awesome for spring and fall, it's lightly lined so you can add or remove what you need as an under layer depending on the temperature extremes associated with the change in seasons.
This jacket is comfortable, light-weight, and completely non-restrictive. I'm very pleased with it.

There are so many hoodies out there but some make you feel like GI Joe and others are little more than windbreakers. This is a great jacket, cut well, with a look that doesn't make you embarassed to wear it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by CardiganLover Love it
For years, I have been trying to find an early spring/late fall jacket with a hood. I just purchased this one and it is perfect. It would be nice to have more of a color selection, but beyond that, it is warm (but not too warm), has pockets in the right places and looks good.
