Will give you best answer.


Jackets are meant to protect from cold and wind and every jacket is not the same. Jackets are used for different purposes. Some of them include softshell jacket, winter coat, gore tex jacket, fleece jacket, ski jacket, winter jacket and Men's Ultra Light Down Jacket. These jackets are used for many purposes. Jackets like, softshell jackets are not the same as others do. They are used for hill walkers which are water proof and maintains the body temperature or keeps the body warm. These softshell jackets are best for climbing, mountaineering, skiing and bike riding.


Softshells are designed in such a way to provide immense comfort for the hill climbers. Softshell jacket have layers of garments that include, lightweight, windproof, water repellent etc. These jackets have a high wind resistance and from inner layer provides warmer to the body. It is quite similar to Lightweight Polar Fleece Jacket, but in terms of waterproof and warm is more effective compared to softshell jacket. The main advantages of this jacket are its light in weight and compact in size also very easy to carry.


Softshells are somewhat of a luxury item and we don't recommend them as your first outdoor apparel purchase. They work great for some activities and poorly for others. For example, when the clouds start dumping, you'll wish you were wearing a rain jacket. And when the temperatures plummet, you'll wish you bought an insulated jacket. That said, if you already have these two layers, a softshell can be an excellent addition to your kit. Softshells fill a distinct niche within the gear world. We'll start off this article by outlining the uses for softshells and comparing them to other types of outer layers before moving on to explain the different categories and what to look for in your next purchase.


The features we look for in softshell jackets are: good wrist closures, adjustable hems, well-designed pockets, a helmet compatible hoods, and a fit that allows for excellent mobility. For lightweight softshells, we like elastic wrist cuffs that are minimal and can be pulled up to our elbows if needed. If skiing is your thing, you might prefer velcro closures that cinch tight over your gloves. If you're a climber or a skier, it is very nice to be able to put your hood over your helmet when conditions deteriorate. If you don't participate in activities that require helmets, then a non-helmet compatible hood will fit better and be less bulky.


Softshell jackets aim to provide the perfect combination of weather protection and breathability for aerobic activities in cold weather. They are much more breathable and more comfortable than hardshell jackets. This means that softshell jackets are best for high output aerobic activities where your body is working hard and generating a lot of heat and moisture. They are a specialized and luxurious type of apparel in the sense that no one needs a softshell. If you're building your outerwear gear arsenal, we think that most people should invest in a true waterproof layer like a rain jacket or hardshell jacket and an insulated jacket before entering the world of softshells. Although softshell jackets are more comfortable and breathable than waterproof layers, they are really only suitable for a small set of technical activities and weather conditions. When the weather worsens, you'll need to throw on an insulated and/or waterproof jacket.


The latest and greatest jacket in the world won't do you any good if it fits poorly. For technical uses, softshells should provide a Goldilocks-like fit…not tight enough to impair movement but not too big as to bulge out of your harness or backpack hip belt. You should be able to fit a baselayer or fleece underneath, but not much more. Remember, softshells work best as active layers coupled with puffy jackets and waterproof jackets, the purpose of a softshell isn't so much to keep you warm or protected from downpours as it is to keep you dry during strenuous activities.
