    Ariat’s official description

    The New Team Softshell jacket offers practicality as well as performance. It is made from a smooth twill softshell, which is both wind and water resistant, with microfleece backing for additional comfort. Combining functional features such as a mock collar and zippered hand pockets with a flattering fit and smart colour block and logo detailing, this lightweight jacket ensures comfort and flexibility, making it perfect for hacking, training and working in.

    Wild Farm’s first impressions

    I thought this smart looking jacket came in really nice colours and I liked the Ariat logo.

    Overview of performance

    This is a really comfortable jacket, that makes a great lightweight layer or a single layer on a cooler day. It provides good protection from the wind and showers.

    Wild Farm’s likes and dislikes

    I really like the colour and style, a hood would make it even better. The fit is on the generous side.

    Verdict

    I would definitely recommend this jacket to a friend
