FEATURES OF SOFTSHELL JACKETS

We export Softshell jackets to Russia

Below are some of the typical features associated with softshell jackets.

Breathable mesh (including arm venting gussets):

These allow sweat vapor to pass through the softshell fabric during activity.

Hoods:

Hoods are sometimes included to give you extra insulation.

Pockets:

Softshell jackets come with a variety of internal and external pockets. For use during climbing, check that they can be reached while using a harness. Pockets may also be lined or insulated to keep your hands warm.

Reinforced fabrics:

Normally found in areas such as the shoulders and elbows for extra durability.

Inner lining:

The interior of a softshell jacket is usually lined with fleece, fur or wool, but can vary according to price.

Flat-lock seams:

Used in the stitching of some softshell to avoid skin abrasion.

Stretchy fabrics:

Extra flexibility and freedom of movement for active use. This can be in the garment construction (such as 4-way elasticated), or the actual materials used.

Reflective trim:

Reflective trims and logos are often incorporated into jacket design in order to provide high visibility in dark conditions.

Cuffs:

Ribbed cuffs are designed to prevent droughts from entering through the sleeves.
