Originally submitted at REI

REI Neo, our everyday soft-shell jacket, is water-resistant, breathable and surrounds you in four-way stretch comfort.


People keep trying to steal my Neo!

Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer

I have to keep very close track of this jacket. People want to try it on and then want to walk off while wearing it. I find the smooth, professional look, lines, drape, and technology of the fabric to bridge the gap between Urban Dweller and Occasional Adventurer. Although alone it does not provide sufficient protection against extreme cold, it would be an excellent addition in layers. I opted for this product over a name brand with a direction in its name and am THRILLED with my decision!
