Women's softshell jackets are invaluable companions for mountain enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. Offering an ideal combination of protection, comfort and flexibility, they stand out as the go-to choice for a wide range of outdoor activities. CimAlp, with its expertise in mountain sports equipment, designs softshell jackets tailored to the specific demands of adventurous women.

Features of a women's softshell jacket

The technical softshell jackets CimAlp are constructed from 3 bonded layers:

1. A stretch fabric ultra-resistant and windproof on the outer face (SHELL).
2. A membrane resistant to 10,000 mm of wau and a actual breathability of 10,000 g/m²/24 h, these garments are built for adventure.
3. A fleece fabric 160 microfibre for thermal insulation.

CimAlp's women's softshell jackets are crafted from resistant, breathable materials with a water-repellent membrane, letting you reach the highest summits with complete peace of mind. It is the versatile hiking jacket par excellence, offering full protection.

For intense use with prolonged exposure to rain, opt for a waterproof hiking jacket with better waterproofing thanks to its taped seams. For very cold conditions at altitude, go for a women's warm hiking down jacket.

How to choose your women's softshell jacket

• The fit : Designed to perfectly follow the contours of your body, the cut of softshell jackets is tailored for a comfortable fit and enhanced thermal efficiency. Make sure the jacket fits well at the neck and covers the lower back when bending for optimal protection.
• The waist adjustment : Choose between an adjustable elastic for a precise fit to your body shape or a fixed elastic for added simplicity and lightness.
• The hood : While a softshell is not designed to be a waterproof jacket, a hood can offer additional protection against wind and cold.
• The pockets : Depending on your activity, the number of pockets can influence your choice. Multiple pockets are practical for lightweight hiking, while a more minimalist design is preferable for more intense activities.

Advantages and disadvantages of a women's softshell

Benefits:

• Superior breathability for greater comfort during exertion.
• Flexibility and lightness for unrivalled freedom of movement.
• Wind protection effective, ideal for outdoor activities.
• Insulating jacket for cold conditions unlike a hardshell.

Drawbacks:

• Less suited to heavy rainfall or heavy snowfall, due to its limited waterproofing compared to a women's hardshell jacket.

Care and cleaning of a women's softshell jacket

To keep your jacket performing at its best, regular care is important. Clean it according to the product instructions, with a gentle detergent, free from fabric softener. Air dry it and, if necessary, apply a waterproofing treatment to restore its water repellency.

What activities is your softshell jacket suited to?

Women's softshell jackets are perfect for a wide variety of outdoor sports, from hiking to ski touring, including climbing and nordic walking, thanks to their many functional properties, as long as conditions remain relatively mild. For wetter conditions and high-altitude terrain, consider a jacket with a waterproof membrane. You can also wear your jacket in town in cold, dry weather.
