Customer Review:Roots73 TM19406 Men's ELKPOINT Roots73 Softshell Jacket with Detachable Hood, Price/each

I found the jacket warmer than I expected. It is very light weight and it does a great job of cutting the wind. It also did a nice job of keeping me dry in light rain(I haven't been out in heavier rain) My only quibble would be not enough pockets. Overall it has been perfect for running in the cold weather.

I wear while riding in the winter (in Wisconsin). Well made, love the lining, fit was true. Not sure about waterproof/resistance. Would recommend.

Good jacket, very visible but I regularly wear a XL and this 2XL is tight. Order one size larger!

This jacket is BRIGHT and warm. I went from having 4 layers on to 1 layer most of the time(as low as 25F). It does seem to hold onto moisture more than I'd like, but the vents seem to work well. I wish the high-vis spots on it were bigger. It seems to do well enough in light rain. Haven't tried it more than that.

You can sweat in this. Jacket doesn't breathe at all .Good for about 54 degrees. Any temp lower than that is too much. Stylish and very visible. Only 1 pocket. Good for your cell phone. For the price, not a bad value.

Great high visibility jacket.It's a but snug and could use a bit of stretch to accommodate all of the movement while riding over uneven terrain .Great value.

I have 3 of these jackets for outdoor running, though they might feel constrictive for some runners. I find them a good option for cold weather (not extreme winter conditions though) and for light rain.I read reviews when I bought them originally, and determined it best not to put them in the dryer. I hang them dry. I have had 2 for a few years, they are holding up.If you wear them when working out I recommend using a workout type of detergent.

Good jacket value. Works well for commuting. Good water resistance and warm for a jacket this light. The only downside is the breathability. The jacket can get warm pretty quickly.

Really nice however it need some type of ventilation.

I commute 15-20 miles a day by bike and needed an in-between jacket for cold and blustery days (28-45F).The jacket fits tight, so there is not flapping or billowing in wind. There is room for a wicking base layer and an additional thin layer if needed. It's warm, wind resistant, and looks great.The only detraction is the lack of venting on the arms. Sweat accumulates in the sleeves by the end of a ride. I usually turn it inside out and hang it out in the sun to dry, which has been fine so far.The jacket is an excellent value for the price!

I probably should have studied the size chart a little longer because there's a MAJOR flaw in it. The top row of the chart shows (Body) size 48. Then in the bottom part of the chart (Garment size), the highest measurement only goes to 47. So guess what, if you want the garment to fit your body, you're going to have to look elsewhere. And be aware of this -- all manufacturers size 2XL are NOT created equal. If you're a slim build, then none of this matters to you. You're lucky!

I like the fitted feel of the jacket but not too restricting

Buy on size bigger than what you usually wear. It is decently warm, keeps wind and water off you.

XL and XXL were tried but both very tight. This jacket is for skinny folks. I'm a 40 inch waist around the belly button and this was tight at XXL. Not made for us bigger guys :( materials and finish were nice. Wish it fit.

I'm really pleased with the product. The weather is cold in my morning commute on my eBike. Riding in Sub 50 deg. weather at 28 mph, the jacket keeps me warm. It's really well made too.One note, the sizing is a bit small. Normally I am a medium but I had to order a large.

I'm no pro cycler by any means. I'm just a guy that likes to ride around the neighborhood once in a while for some exercise. The jacket fits a little snug, which I think is right where you want it. If you're wearing it just as a jacket, you'll probably, miss having decent pockets. If you're cycling though, you probably don't want to be lugging pockets full of stuff around with you. I've worn it in slight drizzle/mist and it kept me dry. Light wind.no problem. Stronger wind.minor problem thanks to the placement of the air vents. I get that you'll want vents so you don't overheat, but they're too far in the front for me. Once you get halfway decent speed, depending on how you sit, you'll feel the breeze blowing in for sure. Again, I'm a casual rider, so I'll be okay with it. If I was riding a a decent clip once the weather got cool though, I could see it being an issue.

Wish it had little vents/porous fabric - Upper torso gets warmed up pretty quick (I use it for biking in winter)
