Has anyone handled the new version that is supposed to be quieter and a standard rather than performance fit?
I have tried several times to like a soft shell but never have. This is the first one I’ve considered and it seems like it would work for me at leastI've just never found a use for a soft shell in my system. Weight and packability are not good. They do a few things good, but nothing great. That's just how they seem for ME.

I tried one on last night and it seems bulky to me. I am thinking why not go with the Dew Point better as a wind/moisture shell. Glad I did not order one. I think the KUIU AXIS Hybrid is a more fitted jacket and slightly lighter.I was hoping the “new” version would come in lighter- 26 oz isn’t nearly light enough to make it into my pack.
Put a hood on the Mountain jacket (11 oz) and I’d bite
