Explore our wide range of women's Softshell jackets.

Women's softshell jackets are invaluable companions for mountain enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. Offering an ideal combination of protection, comfort and flexibility, they are a 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 women who push their limits.

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 with 10,000 mm water resistanceu 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 crafted from durable, breathable materials with a DWR membrane, letting you reach the highest summits with complete peace of mind. It's the ultimate versatile hiking jacket, offering total protection.

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

How to choose a women's softshell jacket

• The cut: Designed to fit 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.
• Waist adjustment: Choose between an adjustable elastic for a precise fit to your body shape or a fixed elastic for added simplicity and lightness.
• Hood: Although a softshell is not designed to be a waterproof jacket, a hood can offer additional protection against wind and cold.
• Pockets: Depending on your activity, the number of pockets can influence your choice. Multiple pockets are handy for light hikes, while a more minimalist design is preferable for more intense activities.

Pros and cons of a women's softshell

Advantages:

• Superior breathability for enhanced comfort during physical effort.
• Flexibility and lightness for unrivalled freedom of movement.
• Wind protection effective, ideal for outdoor activities.
• Insulating jacket for cold conditions unlike a softshell.

Disadvantages:

• Less suited to heavy rain or heavy snowfall, due to its limited waterproof, 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 following the product instructions, using a mild detergent with no fabric softener. Air-dry it and, if necessary, apply a DWR treatment to restore its water repellency.

For which activities should you wear your softshell jacket?

Women's softshell jackets are perfect for a wide range 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 use, consider a jacket with a waterproof membrane. You can also wear your jacket in town in cold, dry weather.
