Columbia’s Triple Trail Shell is also easily the most stylish jacket I own. I never hesitate to put it on as I leave the house. I’m a 42 regular, and the cut of this medium sized jacket is close and flattering. Stylishness isn’t really something I worry about in the backcountry, but when a jacket costs as much as Columbia’s Triple Trail Shell (MSRP of $300), it ought to do double duty on the trail and on the town. The svelte cut also works extremely well underneath a backpack. Nothing bunches, and my pack slips on and off with ease.
