K5 - Velox Light Softshell Jacket

velox light softshell jacket

This is my second Beyond Jacket. It is a perfect everyday jacket that is great for keeping you warm in the morning time and still comfortable as the day starts to warm up.

Value & Service - Beyond delivers!

Their product and sizing matched the description perfectly. Material and finish were high quality. Items were delivered ahead of schedule.

Two words, great jacket.

Best Jacket I Own

Recently wore the jacket on a on and off rainy weekend in Minnesota, temps were in the 50s to 60s and it kept we adequately warm when moving with just a base layer under it, and at night it was great to be warm in camp with just a fleece between the two. Dried out fast between storms, and I never got wet underneath. I love this jacket. It's the best shell I own.

Excellent overall softshell

The Velox light softshell overall is excellent with plenty of pockets for everything you could possibly need, a durable outer shell that repels everything short of a hurricane, and dries quickly as advertised. Although the $135 (I got it on sale for $95) pricetag seems steep, it's actually competitively priced with other outdoors jackets with other brands. I'm 5'6 and about 155 pounds and ordered a medium to be able to fit insulating layers underneath and it fits perfectly. I've only had it for a month, but some issues I've noticed:
-The inner wind flap is quite stiff and rides high which can irritate the neck/chin if not zipped fully
-the hook and loop strap is large and can get snagged on things especially if you have a slim wrist like I do and need to close it all the way.
-the inner layer under the pockets is made of this mesh material. I can't review its durability yet, but mesh as pocket lining doesn't inspire confidence.
