The softshell jacket has become an essential item in the wardrobe of outdoor enthusiasts in recent years. This men's jacket is suitable for a variety of outdoor sports. It protects against wind and inclement weather.
A good men's softshell jacket can replace your second and third layers when the weather allows. Whether for cross-country skiing, trail running, or hiking, it is the must-have mid-season jacket for all athletes!
When ski touring, are you used to wearing a men's fleece and a ski touring jacket as your third layer? Replace these two layers with a single jacket: the Softshell.
Unlike a men's waterproof jacket, also known as a hardshell jacket, your softshell will be a true source of warmth. It is also water-repellent, so in case of bad weather, you will be perfectly protected.
The softshell has many advantages: windproof, water-repellent, warm, breathable… But it can sometimes be difficult to find the jacket that will perfectly suit your activities. Often made from stretchy materials, the softshell is also characterised by its comfort and freedom of movement.
Are you a fan of ski touring, mountaineering, or trekking? We recommend the Ortovox Westalpen Softshell Jacket. This jacket combines merino wool inserts, a warm, robust, and breathable fibre, with a Schoeller® fabric that offers ideal breathability during long ascents. This model is available for both men and women, and there is also a matching Ortovox softshell pant
For cycling enthusiasts, the softshell jacket Vaude Men’s Minaki Jacket III will be perfect. It features unbeatable breathability and effectively protects you against the wind. An essential when venturing on trails or roads. Its advantage? This men's softshell jacket is equipped with rear reflectors, providing safety at night.
The Patagonia softshells are also true must-haves for skiing, hiking, or cycling. The Nano-Air Hoody model is very versatile and will suit all your mountain activities perfectly. It features an extendable hood (compatible with a climbing helmet), a real asset if you love to traverse the peaks!
