Any reviews on the TAD gear Robin Hoodie? I am looking for a softshell jacket to keep me warm down to ~0 degrees (doesn't get too cold in NC). Any comments on TAD gear or another softshell jacket are welcome

I can't really help you, but I'm interested. I was eyeballing the Marmot(SP), Mountain Hardwear, Arc'teryx and The North Face soft shells. The North Face I kinda don't like because a lot of bratty spoiled kids wear them. But, I found one of there soft shells at a nice price online. I will provide link a bit later. I know you want one with a hood, but check it out anyway. I tried it on at REI and it was very comfy and well built.
TNF Apex Bionic I just ordered one. They are out of black, so I picked the blue. REI had them for $129.99. |
| Not sure if it's quite what you're looking for, but I'm sitting in a Mountain Hardware Paldor right now. It's deffinitly a lightweight softshell, but I've taken it down to 13 degrees with just a baselayer underneath it, and it kept me plenty warm. It is definitly a softshell though. |
| When on the farm, I wear a hooded zip-up Carhartt. It's OK, but the other day I ran out without it, and when I got to the farm, I realized I needed it since I would be outside for a little while. I grabbed my brother's Wall's jacket. It is the same styling, but it felt thicker and heavier. That jacket was warm! I will be getting one next. |
