One of the garments that actually belong in every outdoor sports wardrobe is a softshell. I reviewed 8 softshells for three seasons for him and her.
Softshells

The Ortovox Pala Jacket is a thin softshell and is suitable for activities with a high intensity. Thanks to the wool, the jacket is extremely comfortable to wear directly on the skin.
-
The Vaude Me Skarvan S Jacket is a thin hybrid softshell. Hybrid because it is made of different materials. The most used fabric is very stretchy, super breathable and quite windproof.
-
The Haglöfs Skarn Hybrid Jacket is a thin softshell that is suitable for intense activities where good protection against the elements is important.
-
The Norrøna Falketind PrimaLoft60 Jacket is a softshell that looks and feels more like light compact thermal jacket.
-
The icebreaker Hyperia Lite Hybrid Jacket is no softshell in the traditional sense; it is rather an insulating outer layer for colder days.
