Shell Jacket – The Cornerstone of Layered Clothing

A waterproof shell jacket is a favorite garment for many outdoor enthusiasts and hikers. Modern materials allow moisture from your body to escape – in the industry, this is referred to as breathability. Waterproofness and breathability are described with numerical values: the water column rating indicates resistance to water, while breathability describes how much water vapor the material allows through.

Types of Jackets

Lightweight shell jackets pack down small and are easy to carry along as rain protection.

Two-layer shell jackets are truly versatile – a mesh lining provides a comfortable wearing experience.

Our durable three-layer shell jackets serve you even in extreme conditions, whether it’s ice climbing or pulling a sled through a snowstorm. Especially three-layer jackets are well-suited for carrying a heavy backpack.

Choose a Jacket Based on Intended Use

The jacket’s intended use is also reflected in the details: jackets designed for everyday use may feature a removable hood, while jackets made for hiking and climbing have fixed hoods with excellent adjustability.

In jackets designed for trekking, the pockets are placed in a way that a phone or wallet stored inside won’t get in the way when you sit down on a lean-to bench, for example.
