Windbreakers and softshells are designed to offer lightweight protection from the wind while maximizing breathability and freedom of movement. They are ideal for active pursuits where comfort and effort management are priorities.
Windbreakers are very lightweight and compact. They effectively block the wind and often offer light water resistance, making them perfect for running, cycling, fast hiking, or as an extra layer in your bag.
Softshells offer greater warmth, elasticity, and durability. Generally windproof and water-repellent, they are not completely waterproof, but are excellent for dry to variable conditions. Their flexible and breathable fabric makes them a versatile choice for hiking, ski touring, climbing, and active outdoor pursuits.
Depending on the model, there are stretch fabrics, water-repellent treatments (DWR), and technical details designed for action, such as adjustable hoods and ventilation zones.
