| The Serendipity Jacket is Cloudveil's flagship piece in their soft shell line. These days it seems everybody's jumping on the soft shell bandwagon because of their superior fit and breathability, but unbeknownst to most is that Cloudveil pioneered this movement. The Serendipity is made from Schoeller Dryskin Extreme fabric, a blend of materials including lycra, that has a stretchy quality to it for unparalleled freedom of movement. It's also extremely breathable. These qualities make the Serendipity PERFECT for winter sports where you're moving athletically and breaking a sweat. Other distinguishing features include a pack friendly streamlined waist, low bulk storm cuffs that are just plain slick, and two (yes, two!) ever handy Napoleon pockets. |

Bottom Line: If you're going to go with a soft shell, go with one made BY winter enthusiasts FOR winter enthusiasts. |

Serendipity Jacket is GREAT!
Great jacket...I only know because I bought this jacket based on my older brother's experience with the same jacket. Much more breathable thanmost conventional softshells and the neck gator is really handy when the wind and snow pick up. I already own the Gamma MX and the Alpha Comp jacket from Arc'teryx...This jacket has less insulation than the Gamma MX and is more breathable than the Alpha Comp which isexactly what I wanted for winter backcountry tele trips! The Gamma MX is great for resort riding and the Alpha Comp is great for Spring backcountry trips but not for winter. Overall, a solid design from a solid company who invented the softshell! You cannot beat the price either!
The best jacket I own.
I wear this telemarking among other things and it's the first jacket I've owned where I'm dry and warm all day. From 10 (with layers) to 40+ degrees F it's comfortable. You just put it on and go. It blocks enough wind to keep you warm and lets enough through to dry you off and keep from overheating. Construction is great, nice features ( neck cinch for warmth, easy access napoleon pockets). Check out the symmetry pants too.
Serendipity Jacket Rocks
Nice lightweight soft shell. Love the front pockets for easy access with lots of room. Does a great job blocking the wind and is very breathable.
oversized fit
I am a 42 regular – 6ft even and 180lb with fairly broad shoulders. I bought the large because I always have worn a large, but the large was too big. Too long in the sleeves and way too much bulk in the body. I exchanged it for a medium and it fits great. Still enough room if I want a fleece on under it, but it has a nice slim fitted fit. Plenty of length in the sleeves, and this is usually a problem for me, even with large. Great jacket!!!
