Softshells are made from soft, stretchable fabrics that allow for freedom of movement. While a hardshell jacket is typically stiffer and is often waterproof, a softshell jacket is intended to be light protection from wind and light moisture.
Softshell jackets are ideal for so-called shoulder seasons (fall and spring) when the weather may be chilly, but is not cold enough for a down puffer or parka jacket. They are an excellent choice for early morning runs and hikes, multi-day treks, mountain biking, climbing, and other activities that require dynamic movements. Many are packable so you can stow them away in your backpack when not needed.
- Hood: A hooded jacket offers additional protection for your head and neck.
- Zipper: Full-zip of half-zip? Full-zip jackets give you a way to ventilate quickly (just unzip) and go on and come off easier. Half-zip pullovers, however, may be slightly less bulky.
- Wind-resistance: Softshells that are windproof are windbreakers and are ideal not only on the trail, but near the water and when traveling.
- Lining: For more warmth, look for softshells that offer a fleece lining or thermal lining.
