Softshell jackets: the ideal choice for comfort and protection

The terms "hardshell" and "softshell" have been used by outdoor professionals for several years, but what does the term "softshell" actually mean?

What is a softshell jacket?

A softshell jacket is a versatile garment that consists of two layers. Firstly, there is the fleece lining and secondly, a second layer that is windproof and water-repellent. A softshell jacket is designed to provide protection against wind and cold, while being highly breathable for maximum comfort. Although it is not waterproof, it can withstand light rain showers and keep you dry in moderate conditions. Therefore, a softshell jacket is ideal for outdoor activities in cool and dry climates. Moreover, in a three-layer system, a softshell jacket can be used as a second or even second and third layer.

A water-repellent jacket for light rain

A softshell jacket, unlike a regular fleece, is designed to protect you from light rain. However, it is not meant to be completely waterproof, but rather water-repellent. This is achieved by using tightly woven fabrics treated with a water-repellent coating. So why not choose a fully waterproof jacket? Simply because using a water-repellent layer instead of a waterproof layer makes the jacket much more breathable and therefore comfortable. This brings us to the comfort of softshell jackets.

Incredibly comfortable jackets

Yes, you should know that softshell jackets are often chosen for their comfort. As we mentioned at the beginning of the description, a softshell jacket can be worn as a second or even second and third layer. This is a big advantage in terms of comfort. Indeed, the disadvantage of the "three-layer system" can be a lack of freedom of movement due to the accumulation of layers. Therefore, a softshell jacket that acts as a second and third layer makes the whole thing lighter and gives you more freedom of movement.

How to choose a softshell jacket?

When it comes to choosing a softshell jacket, there are important technical features to consider, such as waterproofing. Your choice will be based on the model of the jacket and other features, such as an integrated hood with flap, a full zip, and so on.

Softshell vs. hardshell

The term "softshell" competes with the term "hardshell". A hardshell jacket, unlike a softshell jacket, is designed to withstand adverse weather conditions. A hardshell jacket, which is often made of GORE-TEX, is resistant to rain, snow and so on. So it is completely waterproof and breathable.

Softshell jackets for all seasons

Another great advantage of softshell jackets, besides their elastic fit that offers complete freedom of movement, is their style. Softshell jackets fit today's lifestyle perfectly and can be worn not only during outdoor activities, but also during outings with friends.
