The Kruser Ridge III is Columbia's women's softshell: a stretchy polyester shell with a high collar, full zip and zippered hand pockets, built to block wind and shed light rain. It is a layering piece rather than an insulated coat, so it suits hiking, commuting and cool-weather walks over a fleece or sweater. Compared with a hardshell rain jacket it breathes better and moves with you, but it wets out sooner in steady rain; against a fleece it adds wind and water resistance without much warmth. Owners like the light weight and freedom of movement, and most say it runs true to size with room for a midlayer.
