## Description

There's nothing more necessary than a wind and water resistant layer in a men's outdoor winter wardrobe—that's why the Ascender Softshell Jacket exists. Columbia's lightweight, winter-ready jacket is the ultimate warmth provider and an everyday style piece. Crafted of our durable 100% polyester shell, this Ascender Softshell Jacket is the perfect layering piece and first line of defense to combat the cold. It contains a modern classic fit with adjustable features that allow for comfortable movement and zippered side pockets to keep your small items (including your hands) secure. An added bonus is the warm collar that's flexible so you can choose whether you want to wear it up or down, depending on your desired level of toastiness. Our lightweight, softshell jacket is available in many accommodating sizes and colors as well. To ensure the size you choose is right, utilize our sizing chart and the following measurement instructions: For the sleeves, start at the center back of your neck and measure across the shoulder and down to the sleeve. If you come up with a partial number, round up to the next even number. For the chest, measure at the fullest part of the chest, under the armpits and over the shoulder blades, keeping the tape measure firm and level.

Review: Best jacket - Unbelievable Very nice quality Well outfitted.
Review: Good deal - The item is superb, though the arms are a tad long. But that maybe due to body shape and height. But excellent material, easy to handle, wash and sturdy pockets. A great deal from desertcart warehouse at an unbelievable price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this good for mountain hiking? How is it when comparing with Cascades Explorer jacket?**
A: Hi Huy, Both jackets are nice and each has their uses.  The Ascender jacket has a tightly woven shell exterior which is nice against the wind, but doesn't have much fleece on the inside for insulation.  The Cascades jacket is all fleece, so is able to insulate against the cold.  But if there is any wind , it will go straight through.  The best of both worlds would be to have a fleece jacket on with some sort of wind shell over the top of the fleece.  When it gets too warm, start shedding layers.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Does this keep out wind?**
A: I'd say it does. The wind can blow up from the bottom, but the jacket has elastic around the bottom so if you tighten it, it'll block out the wind.

**Q: Is it breathable?**
A: I am able to take breaths in it. I love that jacket!

**Q: Can this jacket be embrodered with a logo?**
A: Yes, a logo could be embroidered on this jacket.
