From Columbia, the Ascender softshell jacket is ideal for fall excursions. It repels water, wind and stains, making it perfect for casual activities in the great outdoors. A pair of side-entry zippered pockets keep small items secure. You can zip the jacket all the way up to your chin to keep your neck warm and the drawcord-adjustable hem can be cinched close to the body to keep chills from blowing in.
