A softshell jacket combines the advantages of fleece and hardshell: it is wind-repellent, water-repellent and breathable at the same time. This means you stay pleasantly dry during sporting activities such as hiking, climbing or cycling because excess heat can escape. Unlike a hardshell, it is not completely waterproof, but it is much more elastic and comfortable.
A softshell jacket offers you numerous advantages that make it the ideal companion for outdoor activities. The biggest plus point is its high breathability: when hiking, biking or climbing, excess heat is quickly transported to the outside so that you don't break a sweat. At the same time, a men's softshell jacket reliably protects you from wind and light rain showers.
Another advantage is its flexibility and freedom of movement. Thanks to the elastic materials, the jacket adapts to your movements - perfect for sports where you are in action a lot. A softshell jacket is also lighter and more comfortable to wear than a classic hard shell jacket, which makes it very comfortable for everyday wear.
Not to mention its versatility: you can use your softshell jacket almost all year round - as your main jacket in spring and fall and as an additional layer under a hardshell jacket in winter. The robust surface also makes it hard-wearing and durable, so you can enjoy it for a long time.
Disadvantages: less suitable for continuous rain or extreme conditions as it is not 100% waterproof.
