Athlete’s Best Friend The Salomon Fast and Lite Soft Shell Jacket
By Editor | November 11, 2008
The Fast and Lite excels at high-sweat activities in inclement weather. The tightly woven, smooth front fabric cuts wind and light rain, while the stretchy, breathable panels on the back and elbows eliminate restriction and act as steam vents. What you end up with is an ultra-light softshell that packs away easily, but that can also be worn in a variety of conditions.
Useful extras include a zippered front chest pocket, elasticized thumb loops and a reflective patch on the lower back. Keep in mind, this wispy jacket performs best when you’re moving. For stop and go activities, you’ll need something with more weather protection.
Best suited to trail runners, bikers and fast hikers who value breathability over insulation.
Weight: 0.2 kg, 0.5lbs Price: $130 USD
