Sierra Says: Cuddle-up with the fleece-lined Zenith Softshell Jacket! Rock it on and off the mountain for every-day comfort! Softshell jackets are great because they are lighter and slimmer than a traditional jacket.

Mike.M Size Profile:

I am 5 Feet 8 Inches and 160lbs. I wear this jacket in a Medium for a normal fit and Large for Baggy Fit.

"Warm and nice fit" 4/15/2010

Helpful Review? (2) Yes

(0) No

Name: 686 Plexus Zenith Softshell Jacket Men's
Pros: Warm, Nice fit, Comfy
Jacket Fit: Just right
My Size: M
Fits Like: S
Description: It fits like a medium

Experience: Am normally a medium but decided to go small and it is perfect fit, good looking jacket with pit zips and an external zip to get inside without opening the main zip. Removable waist gator, the only thing missing is the gator sleeves. It has several pockets to store you goodies and has 3 vents for cooling, 2arm pit and 1 right chest vents. i thought that the vent system would not work great but after wearing and testing it i have fallen in love with it. the only problem that i have had is that it cant take rain well. haha i know its not ment too. Im yet to actually test this bad boy in the snow, but ill re-update once i have.

"Great Jacket" 1/7/2012

Helpful Review? (0) Yes

(0) No

Name: 686 Plexus Zenith Softshell Jacket Men's
Pros: Warm, Comfy, fits my long arms without being too baggy on me
Cons: none,
Jacket Fit: Just right
My Size: XL
Fits Like: XL
Description: I'm tall so I love the length and I have room to layer underneath.

Experience: My only complaint about it was I didn't think there were enough pockets but once my friend started checking it out he pointed out 4 pockets I wasn't aware of. I didn't look it over that thorough before i used it. I'm not a huge guy but am tall and like my gear to fit me baggy and this jacket does just that. The past couple of years when I rode in Breck the weather was in the upper 30s and lower 40s maybe dipping a little lower than 30 in the early morning or late evening and this jacket kept me cool and warm throughout the day. Great buy.

Name: 686 Plexus Zenith Softshell Jacket Men's
Pros: fits well, plenty of pockets, looks good
Cons: waterproofing,
Jacket Fit: Just right
My Size: M
Fits Like: M
Description: Perfect

Experience: I borrowed this jacket from a friend. it fits great, looks great, is warm, and has plenty of pockets. my only complaint (and it's to be expected from a softshell) is that it doesn't handle rain / snow well. if you take a big spill or it's a snowy / rainy day, wear your other jacket

"Very warm jacket with good fit" 10/31/2010

Helpful Review? (0) Yes

(0) No

Name: 686 Plexus Zenith Softshell Jacket Men's
Pros: great value, warm, good fit
Cons: none,
Jacket Fit: Just right
My Size: L
Fits Like: L
Description: Just a bit bigger, so you can layer it underneath.

Experience: I usually wear jackets in L but ordered M as I was expecting it to be a bit bigger, and it was. It's a great jacket with slightly bigger than its size. I can wear my fleece underneath comfortably.

Pros: Stylish, warm, numerous pockets
Cons: swimming in the jacket, very long sleeves and body, HATE THIS WEBSITE proboardshop is way better
Jacket Fit: Too big
My Size: M
Fits Like: XL
Description: went down to my knees and 2 1/2 inches past my hands for the sleeves way to big

"great" 9/3/2010

Helpful Review? (0) Yes

Name: 686 Plexus Zenith Softshell Jacket Men's
Pros: Thick outer shell,
Cons: Hard material - comfort,
Jacket Fit: Just right
My Size: M
Fits Like: M
Description: This jacket is baggier and longer in the arms than expected, but great everywhere else.

Experience: Love this jacket; the shell provides some protection when you hit the deck hard, because it's so thick, and it's an attractive piece. Warm with the lining and skirt as well.

"Good quality jacket" 8/25/2010

Helpful Review? (0) Yes

(0) No

Name: 686 Plexus Zenith Softshell Jacket Men's
Pros: Great quality, Good features, Unique Colour
Cons: Too damn big in all areas, Hood looks silly, Colour is different to photos
Jacket Fit: Too big
My Size: M
Fits Like: XL
Description: Comical... its too big

Experience: I ordered 2 of these and was really disappointed in the size. I'd love to use the jacket, the features are what I was after - but they will likely never be worn now. So, reproduced below are some of the suggestions and feedback I gave Sierra after receiving this product: ---paste--- Size decision made based on info on product published on site: (a) the description in the product which reads - Mike.M Size Profile: I am 5 Feet 8 Inches and 160lbs. I wear this jacket in a Medium for a normal fit and Large for Baggy Fit. (b) Size chart - e.g. Medium: Chest 38-39 and other measurements and lastly, (c) the pictures of the guy-model wearing the jacket. I am 5'10 and weigh 165lbs... The jacket is MASSIVE on me - comically so... it comes down almost to my knees, and I am quite literarily swimming in it. There is no way that Mike.M's words in the product description can fit the medium size jacket I have been shipped ... Returning them will now cost more than the product which is rather irritating... (Im in Australia) and the products will likely never be used. Suggestions for better site/service: 1. If Mike.M or someone like Mike.M is publishing size comments in the actual product description itself - have photos of Mike.M wearing the product!!! The model in that photo is likely not Mike/M and certainly not Mike.M's dimensions.. confusing! 2. Perhaps allow users to upload photos of products and the fit on them as part of reviews [maybe for bonus points?] so that we can make more informed choices? That would be great! 3. I guess the size chart came form the manufacturer - but its plain wrong for this product. (e.g. my chest is 41-42 and I there is about 3 spare in this jacket - which is listed as chest: 38-39, similar applies to sleeve length, jacket length etc.) ... This doesn't help anyone :( 4. Extend free return shipping to your international customers - especially those that buy products sized incorrectly based on the descriptions posted on the site!

"Great $value$ & good looking shell jacket" 8/23/2010

Helpful Review? (0) Yes

(0) No

Name: 686 Plexus Zenith Softshell Jacket Men's
Pros: Removable powder skirt, Front vent system, Long sleeves and hangs low
Cons: Weighty and stiff for a shell, Waterproof but material like it will soak up water, Hood collar area is a little annoyingly stiff
Jacket Fit: Too big
My Size: M
Fits Like: L
Description: Solid warm feeling jacket with a stiff feel.

Experience: I'm 177cm medium build 75kg and thought I'd get a large based on the spec, but found that the jacket was a bit bigger than I expected. Still looks good with a my boofy snow pants, but I would have liked to have worn it with my jeans for cold a night out and not look too goofy. I should have grabbed the medium which would have been perfect for both enviroments. Love the jacket but might try to off load it to a bigger sized friend and get a medium.

Decided to return for a medium. Looking forward to getting a more fitted size.
