It's not always easy to define what a ""Softshell"" is
The softshell jacket or just “softshell” is simply essential protection for outdoor activities. Its name comes from its ""softshell"" technology which is an assembly of a windproof, breathable membrane, sandwiched between the water-repellent outer face and the inner face, which can be made of a more or less warm comfortable fleece.
The benefits of a softshell jacket
A softshell garment offers good thermal insulation thanks to its outer fabric and its membrane, which will protect you from the wind, as well as its lining.Unlike a parka or waterproof jacket, the fabrics of softshell jackets are flexible, breathable and covered with a water-repellent coating which means this garment can withstand light rain.Very functional, the softshell offers a sporty look that’s both chic and laid back.
Windproof and provides warmth
The wind makes you feel considerably colder.With an outside temperature of 0°C and 20 km/h winds, it will feel like the temperature is -10°.The so-called “windproof” components take away this discomfort by creating a barrier against the wind; they also reduce heat loss extremely efficiently.
The level of breathability of this jacket
The main fabric has a windproof membrane with a breathability of 3,009 g/sqm per 24 hours (according to the JIS L1099 standard, A2 method).

The level of water-repellency of this jacket
The water repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it.This prevents the fabric from swelling, and keeps it lightweight and warm.The fabric is made water-repellent by treating (PFC-free) its outer surface, however this property may deteriorate with use.We recommend that you restore it after each wash.
