REI One Jacket

img_0004I am pleased with my new REI soft-shell windproof jacket. It’s a thin layer but after moving around, it is enough to warm you up, and it also allows you to move around at ease. I like how it doesn’t get in the way especially with my backpack on. One time, I’ve forgotten to bring my hat to cover my ears, so I used my hood which was enough to keep my head and ears warm!

This jacket contains zippered pockets when I could stuff personal items inside and not worry about losing anything while I hike or workout. I also like the adjustable cuffs, as they can cover my gloves with them and prevent the cold air entering my sleeves. (Brrr!)

Therefore, I would recommend a soft shell jacket for cool-weather activities. Unfortunately, this jacket is no longer in stock. There are other soft shell jackets available for purchase on a good price. Click the banner below for further details.

(Please be advised that the soft-shell jacket is usually not waterproof, and it is not suitable for heavy rain nor snow.)

REI CoolMax Hoodie shirt

Since any clothing made of cotton absorbs and keep moisture, it reduces your body heat during cold climate. It can even freeze! Therefore, this shirt is made of CoolMax polyester, which keeps your body heat inside and resist moisture. I also like how this shirt feels loose and comfy. It also has a zip security pocket, where I could hid some cash or phone in there.

My only request for REI is provide a variety of colors for this shirt so I could buy more shirts like this one. Until then, I would buy more shirts made of CoolMax polyester for both cool-weather adventures or even casual wear since I live in Colorado.
