Softshells are one of the go-to jackets when you need some lightweight protection. Versatile enough to be worn for lifestyle use or in a layering system, softshells are popular as they offer a bit of everything - water repellence, wind resistance and breathability.
Softshell jackets are lightweight and stretchy. It's a style designed to provide maximum mobility and comfort to the user, and are usually made up of woven fabric which is water resistant and wind repellent, perfectly bridging the gap between a fleece and a coat. As well as the woven fabric, softshell jackets are also layered (typically two or three layers) to build up the level of comfort and breathability.
It's the softer alternative to a hardshell, which is used in creating some of the more robust waterproof jackets. Our hardshell jackets are actually fairly soft to the touch, but softshells are of course softer and you'll certainly feel the difference.
Softshell jackets lack the robustness of a proper waterproof coat, but the trade off in waterproof protection offers more flexibility and enhanced overall comfort, whilst still retaining some water repellency and wind resistance. Here at Regatta, we design men's softshell jackets, women's softshell jackets and softshell jackets for kids. Keep an eye out for the two labels below to spot the difference between the two main types of softshell we offer.
