Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant?

Waterproof jackets are designed to keep rain out in sustained wet weather, while water-resistant layers shrug off light showers but are not built for heavy, prolonged rain. Check the product description for each jacket's rating.

What is a softshell?

A softshell is a flexible, breathable layer that resists wind and light rain while staying comfortable during activity. It works well on its own in milder conditions or as a mid-layer when it is colder.

Should I choose an insulated jacket or a shell?

Insulated jackets add warmth for cold conditions, while shells focus on weather protection and pair with a mid-layer for flexible warmth. Your choice depends on the climate and how you layer.
