Stay warm in the cooler weather with the Spyder Fresh Air Soft Shell Jacket. This jacket is a great option on the fall days and evening when the temperature is low but it's not quite winter yet. The Polyester Softshell is comfortable and Spylon+ DWR is water-resistant and will guard against water and oil based stains. There's a Brushed Microfiber Inner Chinguard to keep you cozy when zipped up all the way and you'll have a few pockets that are perfect for keeping your hands warm or stashing some smaller items. Comfortable and warm, the Spyder Fresh Air Soft Shell Jacket ensures you can step out of the house, breathe in some fresh cool air and go about your day feeling good.
Q: Trying to decide between Spyder Mens Patsch Hoody and Fresh Air Soft Shells. Looking for something as stand alone jacket and to wear as layer under Spyder insulated jacked I bought from you last year. From descriptions, Patsch looks warmer but Fresh Air more water resistant. Is that correct? Or are they both about equal on those characteristics? the descriptions seem to say made from same materials but ratings differ considerably on warmth and water resistant features. Please clarify
A: As far as performance (warmth, waterproofing) these 2 jackets are near identical. The main difference between the 2 is the Patcsh offers a hood and the Fresh Air has no hood. If you are layering with this piece it may be best to not have a hood but that comes down to personal preference. For what you wish to do with the jacket these are both good choices.
