Softshell Jackets

Softshell Jackets are becoming more and more use full with the advance in fabric technology. So what the purpose of this style jacket? Softshell jackets are an alternative to a windproof fleece. They are generally windproof and very highly water resistant [no tapes seams]. So they are perfect for those cold winter days where the sun is shining. They are also regarded as a great Jacket for climbers as they provide great wind protection, but no bulk.

They pack away nicely in a rucksack and can be worn in a very light quick shower. They are not a replacement for a waterproof jacket but a perfect alternative for the cold dry days.
