Frequently Asked Questions
What is the point of a softshell jacket?
Softshell jackets are intended for people that enjoy outdoor activities in changing conditions. Layering up and having to remove clothing can easily interfere with your performance. A softshell jacket is designed to provide the optimum amount of warmth and weather protection while not burdening you with overheating.
Which is warmer fleece or softshell?
Fleece is naturally warmer than softshell, although it isn’t nearly as weather resistant. You can combine the best of both worlds with a fleece-lined softshell.
Should I size up in a softshell jacket?
If you plan on wearing your softshell overtop of other clothing like sweatshirts, it’s recommended to size up. If you intend to only wear it with a thin underlayer, standard sizing should suffice.
