Hardshell jackets with guaranteed full protection for you
The differences between softshell and hardshell jackets are that hardshell jackets are usually completely waterproof, windproof and storm proof. These versatile jackets are manufactured to act as an outer layer of protection and usually incorporate innovative technologies such as breathable mesh linings, hoods to keep the rain from your head and zippers that reduce stitching and seams to further increase water resistance. Hardshell jackets are often made using industry-leading fabrics such as water repellent Gore-Tex or eVent, which are breathable membranes that are engineered to keep the body dry yet cool during sports and movement, while during rest time, these same technologies offer warmth and comfort. Hardshell jackets work well on their own during warmer parts of the year and can be reinforced by layering up with other textiles such as wool, fleece and polyester fabrics in colder months and wintery conditions.
Hardshell jackets provide outerwear for all seasons
