Which women's hiking jacket should you choose?

Choose a jacket for the weather you face most often. For rain, choose a waterproof jacket: the CASCADE in 10,000 Schmerber CIMASHELL, or the COSMIQUES in 20,000 Schmerber Ultrashell, weighing 340 g in size S. For dry cold, choose a fleece such as the NORVEGE or the CHANI thermal jacket; for breaks, take a CIMALOFT insulated jacket.

Softshell or waterproof jacket for hiking?

A waterproof jacket, or hardshell, has a membrane and sealed seams to withstand prolonged rain. The ENERGY softshell is warm and blocks strong wind, but its seams are not taped: if rain lasts more than 30 minutes, switch to a waterproof jacket.

Which women's hiking jacket should you choose for winter?

Choose a 3-in-1 jacket, such as the CLIMATA or SCIA, combining a 10,000 Schmerber waterproof shell with a removable warm layer, or the long NATURE parka with CIMALOFT insulation. You can also wear an insulated jacket under a waterproof jacket.

What size should you choose for a women's hiking jacket?

Choose your usual size for most styles, including the CASCADE, COSMIQUES and ADVANCED jackets, and the NORVEGE, WARMIT and ORBA fleeces. The ENERGY and MORZINE run slightly small: if you're between sizes, size up. The GUIDE PRO runs slightly large: if you're between sizes, size down.
