Along with sunrise over the Wasatch or powder exploding like freshly opened bubbly, softshell materials can be savored as one of nature's true miracles. The Wildcard III jacket combines the warmth and weather resistance of hard shell with the lightweight coziness and comfort of your favorite fleece or hoody. Omni-Shield® advanced water repellency protects you from the driving snow, while this versatile softshell's stretch properties and low-loft insulation facilitate quick movements; from pole planting to post-run high fives. Activate the removable storm hood to trap your body heat during the deep freeze, removing it when the thaw hits if you so desire. When all the fresh lines get tracked out, snap the protective powder skirt to the jacket lining to keep it out of your way; or remove it completely for running errands around town. Aptly placed media and goggle pockets keep your essentials easily accessible and totally secure.
Active winter pursuits require lightweight warmth. The Columbia Sportwear Wildcard Insulated soft-shell jacket is great solo for cold weather treks or layered during fast descents.

Great Softshell Jacket for the money | |
| Rating: |  |
I bought the Wildcard as an "around town" jacket for the harsh winters in Iowa and have been more than pleased with it's warmth and versatility. I've logged a few 25,000 vertical feet days in it as well and it has held up great. Plenty of pockets, a helmet compatible hood and other than the lack of pit zips, this jacket is as good and as warm as anything on the market. If you are looking for a functional, warm and great looking jacket, the Wildcard Softshell is it. It's tough to really categorize this as a softshell due to it's weight and warmth. It is as much coat as I ever need. The colors are a little generic and it runs roomy as I am 6' 252 lbs and an XL fits perfect with just enough room for a midlayer. Bottom line, for the $$ you wont find a better softshell. | |

I have a previous version of this jacket - It had a different name then but it's the same jacket other than for details. I picked it up in Park City, at the Columbia Outlet store for $88. I'm 182cm tall and of heavy-ish build. The XL size is quite big and loose on me. | |

Very impressed | |

I purchased this early in the season as a nice all weather option not sure where it was going to fit in. It quickly became the first jacket I grabbed when there was moisture in the air. Although it claims to be waterproof, I'm skeptical of a soft shell being perfectly waterproof. However, I'm always more concerned with breathability and moisture management and this jacket is waterproof enough for snow. | |

Softshell III is lightweight versatile | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a great lightweight jacket that is warm and versatile. It is perfect for 30 degrees and above. If it is colder you can layer with a shell. I love that it is warm and lightweight and does not restrict movement. | |
