The softshell jacket provides comfort in any weather!

What clothes at the same time protect from strong wind, light rain, light snow and noticeable cold? The softshell jacket provides comfort in any weather! Combining several layers of synthetic materials at once, the softshell jacket performs the functions of a raincoat, windbreakers and thermal underwear, but at the same time, it is incredibly light and stylish. How the triple effect of protection is achieved can be understood by understanding the structure of the material.

The phrase "soft shell" is translated from English as "flexible shell", and this definition should be understood literally. The top layer of the jacket is really very susceptible to environmental influences. Externally, it resembles ordinary nylon, is durable, wear-resistant, dirt-and water-repellent, and does not hinder movement at all.

The inner shell of the softshell consists of softer synthetic fibers that have insulating properties. It can be fleece or any other materials endowed with the same qualities - warm, breathable and pleasant to the touch at the same time.

Between the two previous layers is often laid pore membrane that protects against strong gusts of wind. All product layers are firmly fastened together by a special technology.

Although in theory the jacket is softshell and is designed to protect at once from three spontaneous manifestations, in practice, each of its types fully performs only two main functions:

1. Protects from cold and wind.
2. It saves from rain and warms, leaving the body as dry as possible even under intense loads.
3. It has a windproof and good water-repellent property.
4. It is a compact and practical item of clothing in dry, windless weather.

It is worth considering that a Softshell jacket will not protect against heavy rain, hurricane winds or severe snowfall. It is designed for moderately cold air temperature, from 5 to 10 degrees below zero, quite strong gusts of wind and small precipitation.
