Women's Softshell Jackets

Softshell jackets are all about comfort and flexibility, but how tight or loose should they be? Here's a breakdown to help you find your ideal match:

Snug fit for intense activities: If you're on the move and working up a sweat, moisture-wicking and freedom of movement are key. A snugger fit allows the jacket to move with you without feeling constrictive. This also helps wick sweat away from your skin more efficiently, keeping you comfortable.

Looser fit for layering: As the temperature dips, you might want to layer up with a fleece or other mid layer underneath your softshell jacket.  A looser fit gives you the flexibility to add these extra layers without feeling restricted. This ensures efficient insulation and keeps you warm on those chilly hikes.

Tip: Try on the jacket with the base layer you plan to wear underneath it. Raise your arms overhead and bend at the waist. The jacket should move freely without pulling or feeling tight anywhere.
