softshell jacket

Stretch-woven face, brushed back — the shell that behaves like a jacket.

three places, three grades

a grade with no reason is not a grade

hikingsuitable
Stretch face takes a scramble without pulling at the shoulder; quiet enough for a long day.
cyclingusable
Comfortable in the lean, but the brushed back holds warmth and you will overheat on any real effort.
commutingsuitable
Matt stretch face and a flat collar — the most office-compatible shell here.

Cycling grades account for back hem length, sleeve length with your arms forward on the bars, and whether there is a rear pocket you can reach. Rear pocket on this piece: no.

the piece

A four-way stretch woven face over a light brushed back. Warmer and quieter than a hard shell, and it moves with you rather than against you. It sheds spray. It is not a rain layer.

what it does, and where it stops

how we test
fabric weight
260 g/m²
garment weight
486 g in EU 50 / M
water repellency
standard — PFC-free DWR, C0 chemistry, applied to the face fabric

Sheds a shower and wind-driven spray. It is not a rain barrier: in steady rain the face fabric wets out and water reaches the layer underneath, first at the shoulders and the seat.

when the finish runs out
20 to 30 machine washes, sooner where a pack or saddle rubs
how you will know
water stops beading and rolls into the weave instead; the face fabric darkens where it soaks in
how to renew it
Wash it clean first, then apply a wash-in or spray-on repellent, then reactivate with a warm tumble dry or a warm iron through a cloth.
hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
Not published.

Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.

breathability (EN ISO 11092)
Not published.

Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.

  • Four-way stretch face, 260 g/m² with the brushed back included
  • Finish: PFC-free DWR on the face; renew after roughly 20 to 30 washes
  • Two zipped hand pockets, both above a hip-belt line
