Just what I was looking for.
I recently purchased the Mountain Hardware men's Alchemy Jacket for an upcoming Mount Kilimanjaro climb. It is just what I was looking for in an insulated soft shell. Its light weight, very wind and water resistant and packs easily. The water proof pockets are well positioned for use when carrying a full pack. The sizes run a little small. I am 5' 9" and 165 lbs. (usually a medium) but needed a large to comfortably accommodate several layers underneath. This is a soft shell you will use for years to come.

Great Jacket
I love this jacket but I had to return it due to size and the one that I brought was the last one so I didn't have a choice to pick another size. Alchemy is a nice soft sell jacket with quality marterial, light weight.

Not for casual use
I bought this looking for a multi-purpose softshell because I do some climbing and lots of hiking. But lets face it most of the time I expected to be wearing this jacket to and from work or school. Quality: The jacket is good quality. The fabric seems durable and resistant to abrasion. It also seemed to be very warm, I think even warmer than the mountain hardwear tech jacket. Weight: This jacket is very light and thin and as such would be quite crushable for packing. Fit: The cuffs are not adjustable and are a little thick but I think this is a better design than some of the overly flared unadjustable cuffs I have seen on other softshells. The sleeves are of ample length to prevent them from riding up when reaching but this action does cause the bottom of the jacket to lift a few inches which is frustrating on a cold and windy day That being said this is a waste length jacket with a pretty athletic fit. I am 5'7, 145 with a 30" waist and a medium fit with enough room to wear a thin fleece under it. However, I feel like there is not a lot of shoulder room so it feels tight under the armpit and across the back. For this reason I decided to send the jacket back. I just can't get comfortable in it when it is tight under the arms.
