I love this jacket! Ordered a pair of black diamond windstopper gloves but I'll be returning them soon. They don't repel water, are fuzzy and less than windproof the seams are single stitched. The air goes right through. I'd like a pair that have the same exterior as the jacket. Something that matches.

What are the differences (besides the pockets and the hood)? Which one is warmer, more durable, breathes better and more water resistant? Basically, which is a better jacket. Don't care that the Super Power has no hood, I'd rather have 2 side pockets (I can wear a cap)? I'm debating between the two, which is a better running jacket for the cold. question_136051 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:33:23 GMT What's the difference between the Transition and the Super http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Mountain-Hardwear-Transition-Softshell-Jacket-Mens/MHW0723M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_136043#question_136043 Mountain Hardwear Transition Softshell Jacket - Men's What's the difference between the Transition and the Super Power besides the pockets and the hood? Is the Super Power an inferior or a less technical jacket (a tailored down Transition).

I have been looking at three different jackets and I can't make up my mind. I am 5'10" a trim 165 lbs, 40" chest. I am considering TNF Apex Bionic, Marmot Ultima or the MHW Alchemy. I would be using it for chilly runs and mountain biking in NE Kansas during the winters. I spend summers in Glacier National Park. If you have been, you know what the weather can be like up there. If you've got a little advice, please help me out. I'd love to hear your opinion. question_135920 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:54:59 GMT Where is the jacket made? http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Cloudveil-Firsturn-Softshell-Jacket-Mens/CLV0462M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135904#question_135904 Cloudveil Firsturn Softshell Jacket - Men's Where is the jacket made? question_135904 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:38:50 GMT Drawstring on the bottom?

Would I need a another jacket keep warm when the temp falls, or would I be better off with layering. What items would you recommend. question_134950 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:26:58 GMT This is a sincere question: just how good can a shell jacket http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Cloudveil-Firsturn-Softshell-Jacket-Mens/CLV0462M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134903#question_134903 Cloudveil Firsturn Softshell Jacket - Men's This is a sincere question: just how good can a shell jacket get? For those of us who've been around a bit, we've probably all collected a number of jackets. Maybe they've been getting a little stretchier, a little quieter, but, from my perspective, I'm finding it hard to rationalize upgrading. question_134903 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:43:41 GMT
