What Is A Soft Shell Jacket?

Soft shell jackets are relatively lightweight outerwear pieces, making them suitable for camping, hiking and trekking adventures. Soft shell fabric is made by bonding together two fabric layers, typically a water repellent outer layer with a cosy fleece inner. Softshell jackets offer excellent protection from drizzle and light snow while allowing you to maintain a good range of movement.

Soft Shell Jackets FAQs

Are softshell jackets waterproof?

Most soft shell jackets have some form of water repellent treatment on the outer layer. At Anaconda you can find soft shell jackets that are water repellent or water resistant, and others that offer complete waterproof protection with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Soft shell fabrics also offer wind resistance and wind proof benefits.

How to wash a soft shell jacket

Many soft shell jackets can be laundered easily in your washing machine. Softshell jackets should be washed in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild laundry detergent. Their synthetic composition means they're typically quick to dry. Just make sure you always check the care label of your soft shell jacket for any specific care instructions from the manufacturer.

Are soft shell jackets insulated?

Soft shell jackets are best thought of as a line of defence against weather events like snow or rain - rather than against the temperature. The outer shell is designed to repel wind and rain as opposed to keeping heat in. However, you can find soft shell jackets that have additional insulated linings to offer an extra layer of warmth. If keeping cosy and warm is your priority then down insulated jackets may be a better option.
