33,000ft Women's Softshell Long Jacket with Hood - Warm (Style 5GL5)

In this review of the 33,000ft Women's Softshell Long Jacket with Hood, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, insulated softshell for women who need weather protection without heavy bulk. The jacket's Polar fleece lining and softshell exterior make it especially useful for cool spring and autumn days or layered use in winter. Reviewers repeatedly praise the combination of warmth, length and water resistance, so anyone seeking a roomy, comfortable outer layer with sensible weatherproofing will find the jacket a strong option.

Key Features

• Fleece lining: The Polar fleece interior provides cozy insulation and makes the jacket comfortable for cool weather wear and layering.
• Flexible shell: A softshell exterior with spandex gives the jacket stretch and freedom of movement for hikes and daily activities.
• Water resistant and windproof: The shell sheds light rain and cuts wind, keeping the wearer drier and warmer in sudden showers or blustery conditions.
• Secure storage: Two hand zippered pockets keep small items safe and warm while on the move.
• Adjustable fit: A fixed hood with adjuster, hideaway drawcord waist and double storm flaps let you tune fit and protection in changing conditions.
• Activity-friendly zipper: A smooth 2-way center front zipper improves ventilation and mobility during active use.

Who It's For

The jacket is best for women who spend time outdoors in mild to cool weather and want a balance of warmth, weather protection and mobility. Hikers, walkers, campers and travelers who prefer a longer coat that covers the rear will appreciate the length and fleece-lined comfort.

It is less suited to those who need fully waterproof, taped-seam protection for heavy rain or technical mountaineering shells for extreme weather; for those needs a dedicated waterproof shell with sealed seams would be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Warm fleece lining that lets you wear a sweater underneath without feeling restricted.
• Good wind resistance and water repellency for light rain and blustery conditions.
• Comfortable fit and stretch from spandex in the shell for active movement.
• Functional details like a 2-way zipper, hood adjuster and zippered pockets.

Cons

• Not a fully waterproof, taped-seam raincoat, so heavy prolonged rain may soak through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this jacket warm enough for cold weather?
The Polar fleece lining provides good insulation for cool to cold conditions and allows layering, but extreme cold without additional layers may require a heavier insulated coat.

The shell is water resistant and handles light rain and showers well, but it is not described as fully waterproof with sealed seams for heavy, prolonged downpours.

Does it allow freedom of movement?
Yes, the softshell contains spandex for stretch and the 2-way zipper and adjustable waist improve mobility and comfort during active use.
