Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

Yes, for a passing shower or in snow: its membrane is waterproof. But its seams are not sealed. In rain lasting more than 30 minutes, water will eventually get through them. For long days in the rain, choose a hardshell jacket with sealed seams.

Is this softshell jacket warm enough for winter?

Its soft fleece lining and windproof fabric retain body heat. In very cold weather, we recommend adding a thermal base layer and a fleece mid-layer for optimal comfort.

Which size should I choose?

It fits true to size: we recommend your usual size.

Does the hood fit over a helmet?

Yes. It adjusts at three points and fits over a helmet. It is fixed and cannot be removed.

How many pockets does it have?

Three: two large zipped side pockets and one inner pocket, accessible when wearing a climbing harness or backpack.

How should you wear it?

As an outer layer for high-altitude outings, winter hikes and alpine climbs. In extreme cold, wear it over an insulating layer.

How should I care for and wash a softshell jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with the zips closed, using a technical detergent such as NIKWAX and no fabric softener. Use a gentle spin cycle (400 rpm). To restore water repellency, use a suitable product and tumble dry briefly on a low heat setting.

What are the delivery times for this product?

If you place your order before 1 pm (excluding weekends), it will be dispatched the same day. Allow 2 to 4 working days for home delivery or collection point delivery within mainland France.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

Who did we design it for?

For mountaineers and hikers taking on high-altitude terrain, from glacier routes to long winter hikes, when the wind picks up.

How warm is it?

Lined with soft fleece, it blocks the wind and retains body heat. In very cold weather, add a thermal base layer and a fleece.

How waterproof is it?

Waterproof membrane rated to 10,000 mm Schmerber: protects against showers and snow. The seams are not taped, so for rain lasting more than 30 minutes, choose a hardshell instead.

What makes it different?

Our CIMASHELL® technology combines three layers: a highly abrasion-resistant outer fabric, a waterproof, breathable membrane and a soft fleece lining. Rock, lug or bramble: it holds up.

Protection that follows your commitment

In the high mountains, conditions can deteriorate without warning. The wind picks up, rain turns to snow, and turning back is not always an option.

This jacket is designed to provide a reliable barrier against wind and snow. It breathes during exertion, lets you regulate warmth with underarm vents and protects your head with a helmet-compatible hood. Its outer fabric resists abrasion where ordinary fabrics wear through, and moves with you without restricting movement.

Because the finest summits leave no room for gear failure. You need a jacket that holds up.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers appreciate its comfort, pleasant fabric and careful finishing, which give it a strong, durable feel. They also praise its protection against wind and cold while remaining breathable: it has been used on snowshoe hikes down to a -15°C wind chill, as well as for mountain biking. Several reviewers find the fit comfortable and the pockets well sized. Do pay close attention to sizing, however: several say it runs a little small, while one customer finds it rather large, so check your measurements carefully before ordering.

This is my third Summit 2 - bright red for the hunting season! An excellent softshell jacket that feels and performs like a combination of waterproof and softshell, without being excessively bulky and heavy; however I would say that it's definitely better for autumn/winter than spring/summer. I'm about 1.8 m tall, weigh about 77kg on a good day with a fairly slim build, and this medium fits me just right. If I was any larger it would be too small around the stomach/waist, so if you're carrying a little extra weight here you may want to consider a large; although you might then find that the arms would be a little long. It works well over a t-shirt in warmer weather or when you're active, but when it's colder or if you're standing around it is excellent over a long sleeved t-shirt.

Great materials, really nicely finished - lovely looking jacket. Only downside is that to be comfortable you have to have a very athletic frame (long arms and skinny waist)
