Softshell Jackets FAQs

Do softshell jackets keep you warm?

Yes, softshell jackets provide warmth by trapping body heat while remaining breathable. Their insulating fleece or thermal linings offer cosy comfort in cool to cold conditions, making them ideal for active pursuits like hiking and climbing. While not as warm as heavyweight insulated jackets, they excel in mild winters and dynamic weather, blocking wind and light rain. For extreme cold, layering underneath boosts warmth. Their stretchy, flexible fabric ensures freedom of movement, so you stay comfortable without overheating during exertion. They're perfect for transitional seasons and high-energy adventures!

How should softshell jackets fit?

A softshell jacket should fit comfortably close to the body without restricting movement - snug enough to trap warmth but loose enough for easy layering. The sleeves should reach your wrists without riding up and the hem should stay in place during activity. A slightly tailored cut prevents excess bulk while allowing full mobility for trekking, hiking or other dynamic pursuits. Avoid an overly tight fit that limits layering or a too-loose fit that lets cold air in. The right balance ensures optimal performance and comfort.

Are softshell jackets waterproof?

Softshell jackets offer water resistance rather than full waterproofing. Their durable fabrics and DWR coatings shed light rain and snow, making them ideal for active use in drizzly or windy conditions. However, they aren't designed for heavy downpours, unlike hardshell waterproof jackets. Breathability is their strength, allowing sweat to escape during high-energy activities. For prolonged wet weather, pairing a softshell with a waterproof layer is best. Think of them as a versatile shield for variable (but not extreme) weather.
