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 wateru and a real 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 made from resistant, breathable materials with a water-repellent membrane, allowing you to reach the highest summits with complete peace of mind. It is the ultimate versatile hiking jacket, offering you comprehensive protection.

For intense use with prolonged exposure to rain, opt for a waterproof hiking jacket, which will offer better waterproofing thanks to its heat-sealed seams. For very cold, high-altitude conditions, choose a women's warm hiking down jacket.

How to choose your women's softshell jacket

• The fit : Designed to hug the contours of your body, the cut of softshell jackets is tailored for comfortable wear 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 cinch : Choose between an adjustable elastic for a precise fit to your body shape or a fixed elastic for added simplicity and lightweight comfort.
• The hood : While a softshell isn't 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 hikes, while a more minimalist design is preferable for more intense activities.

Advantages and disadvantages of a women's softshell

Advantages:

• Superior breathability for increased comfort during activity.
• Flexibility and lightweight for unmatched freedom of movement.
• Wind protection effective, ideal for outdoor activities.
• Insulating jacket for cold conditions unlike a hardshell.

Disadvantages:

• Less suited in heavy rain 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, using a gentle detergent with no fabric softener. Air-dry it and, if necessary, apply a DWR treatment to restore its water repellency.

What activities can you use your softshell jacket for?

Women's softshell jackets are perfect for wide variety of outdoor sports, from hiking to ski touring, as well as 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 during cold, dry weather.
