Our Verdict

A light, streamlined softshell with excellent mobility and breathability for summer trails. At 264g (Medium), the Granite SO Hooded Jacket delivers a solid balance of protection and packability. The recycled polyester fabric is smooth, quiet, and moves well with the body thanks to its four-way stretch. Breathability is a strong point, making it suitable for both steady climbs and breezy ridgelines. The PFC-free DWR sheds light moisture effectively, though it’s not built for prolonged rain. Adjustment points are easy to use on the move, with a well-shaped hood and clean elastic cuffs that stay in place without digging in.

The hand pockets are neatly integrated and sit well under a pack hipbelt. It’s a dependable choice for fast-moving days when a full shell would be overkill, but some coverage is still essential.
