Not for that price.

Well it looks like a decent softshell jacket to me. The price doesn't seem unreasonable for what it is, as a softshell from some of the higher level manufacturers will cost you several times that price. The company, Scottevest, has a pretty good reputation for tactical and travel clothing. Personally, I don't like using a softshell jacket for opping unless it's very cold outside, and I absolutely need an outer layer beyond my combat shirt. I do have a cheaper black one that I sometimes wear though, and I can attest to jackets like that keeping you relatively warm and dry without making a ton of noise.

I got an amazing BDU jacket for 30$.
Lots of pockets, well made, black. How can a simple softshell cost 190$?
Don't take it too seriously, you're not coming out of it alive.

Lol, clothing is just like anything else. The more you pay, the higher quality item you receive. Unfortunately price increases much, much faster than quality does. Eventually you end up paying massive amounts for only marginal gains in quality. Behold, the $550 softshell: http://leaf.arcteryx.com/product.aspx?l ... aur-Jacket
