The Soft Shell-R name points at the fabric, and that is the part worth knowing. A soft shell moves with you rather than resisting, and the mesh lining behind it keeps the shell off your midlayer so nothing drags when you pull it on. Light, which is where SS 2019 placed it.
In wear it sits regular through the body, with room for a knit underneath. Elastic ribbed cuffs and hem close it off at the edges, the hood draws in on a cord, and the side pockets zip. There is a small snag near the left cuff. Condition is good otherwise, and the compass badge lifts off its two press studs if you prefer it gone.
