ASAT lightweight bowhunter jacket

[NYBackcountry]

Anyone ever used this jacket? Thoughts on quality for a early/mid season softshell in the stand? What kind of material is on the interior? Thanks!

Bump. Is this actually a soft shell?

I love ASAT but their clothing lacks serious quality. I would get a hold of Day One if you want some ASAT clothes.

I got the ASAT lightweight bowhunter from Camofire for about $60. I think it only ever appeared there once.
My first impression was that I was very glad I didn't pay full price - it doesn't feel particularly well made or to be using high end fabrics but in practice I have grown to like it and used it a lot. It's very quiet and fits me very well. The pockets are usefully located and there's a zip to reach inside.
It's not lightweight in the packable sense but it's not heavy. Not windproof. Resists a little rain ok. I haven't worn the hood once.

I also have a DayOne jacket - lined with windstop, the cowboy suede jacket is a great silent later season outer layer. Heavier, warmer, worth the higher price.
