Today it was rainy and in the mid-70’s in the Los Angeles area. Weather like that is very unfriendly to anyone wearing GoreTex to stay dry. The sweat and steam that builds up under a hardshell seems almost as bad as just getting rained on. That’s where softshells step in. As long as you’re not out in the rain for a long time a softshell will keep you mostly dry and much cooler and more comfortable. Plus, they’re WAY more flexible and comfortable when skiing or hiking in the winter.
Here’s a great deal on the Mountain Hardware Womanticore soft shell. Just $108 for a hybrid softshell with waterproof shoulders and chest, but windproof, ultra-breathable underarms, back, and waist (exactly the areas that get sweaty when backpacking). It’s 60% off and available in sizes 6 - 10 at Sierra Trading Post.
