Softshell - a comfortable choice!
The thinnest, highly breathable softshells are suitable for active sports, while the thickest ones are designed for winter use: they insulate well and keep both wind and water out. The main idea of softshell clothing is to be more comfortable and versatile than shell garments: most often it doesn't rain heavily, so water resistance is less important than comfort and breathability. Softshell jackets flex comfortably on you and are also suitable for activities that require freedom of movement.
Softshell jackets always have a pleasant interior lining
The interior surface of softshell jackets is always comfortable even when worn on its own, as the lining is brushed soft. You can always slip a softshell directly over a t-shirt without the fear of a plastic feel.
Some hiking softshell jackets are made entirely from the same material
Some hiking softshell jackets are made entirely from the same material, but many use more flexible and breathable panels under the armpits, sides, and undersides of the arms. This improves the jacket's suitability for active and sweaty exercise.
A hoodless softshell jacket is easier to wear under a shell jacket if needed
A hoodless softshell jacket is easier to wear under a shell jacket if needed, but we usually recommend buying a jacket with a hood. A hood provides plenty of adjustability for warmth and is also indispensable in rain and strong wind.
