Which softshell garment should you choose?

Your choice of softshell clothing depends primarily on your activity, the intensity of your outing and the weather conditions.

Softshell jackets, trousers and gloves

Softshell jackets

A softshell jacket is a versatile outer layer for activities in cool and windy conditions. More flexible and generally more breathable than a conventional waterproof jacket, it is particularly well suited to sustained exertion and moderate weather conditions.

Depending on your needs, you can choose a lightweight jacket for transitional seasons or a warmer model with a brushed inner face. Pockets, hood, ventilation and waist adjustment are also worth comparing according to your chosen activity.

Softshell trousers

Softshell trousers provide excellent freedom of movement while protecting your legs from wind, cold and light precipitation. They are particularly suitable for hiking, trekking, ski touring and mountaineering.

For high-intensity activities, choose a stretchy, breathable fabric. For winter outings, look for a thicker construction, reinforcements in high-wear areas and gaiters or lower legs that are compatible with your boots.

Softshell gloves

Softshell gloves are designed to shield your hands from the wind while maintaining good dexterity. They are suitable for Nordic skiing, hiking, winter trail running and activities requiring precise handling of equipment.

Protection suited to high-output activities

Softshell garments stand out for their ability to reduce the wind chill while efficiently wicking away perspiration. Their stretch fabric moves with your body and avoids the restrictive feel sometimes experienced with more protective jackets.

Most models withstand light rain or snowfall thanks to a water-repellent finish. However, they are no substitute for a waterproof hardshell jacket in heavy precipitation or during prolonged exposure to moisture.

Lightweight or warm softshell: which should you choose?

For sustained exertion

For ski touring, Nordic skiing or fast-paced ascents, choose a lightweight and highly breathable softshell. It should shield wind-exposed areas without excessively trapping the heat generated during activity.

For cold weather and moderate-intensity activities

For winter hiking, walking or less strenuous pursuits, a lined or thicker softshell provides extra warmth. It can be worn on its own in dry conditions or incorporated into a layering system when temperatures drop.
