The Jack Wolfskin Bornberg Hoody Softshell Jacket is the perfect companion for any hiking trip. The Texashield Pro Softshell Ripstop Softloop 3L fabric makes the jacket windproof, water-repellent and very breathable for ultimate comfort on the trail, while the unique thread loops on the reverse side prevent microplastic particles being released into the wastewater during the wash cycle. Additionally, a hood provides extra protection from the elements, articulated elbows promote a good range of movement, and hand pockets let you keep trail essentials within easy reach.
If your weather app is telling you to expect cool winds and rain showers, but you'll still be heading to the trails, the Elements Shell Jacket should be top of your mountain biking kit list. Should those rain showers materialise, it's Oakley's FN Dry™ technology that will prevent water from getting inside. At the same time, FN Dry™ also allows moisture to escape - vital for comfort when you're facing sweat-inducing climbs and the intensity of downhill trails. Weighing in at just 130 grams, the Elements jacket definitely won't weigh you down. And with the trail-fit you've also got space to move easily - particularly useful when you're riding on wet and slippery trails. The drop tail hem provides coverage across the lower back and a helmet-compatible hood adds extra protection in heavier downpours.
With a specific women's fit, the Hikesteller Parka Shell Jacket offers full protection from the elements with DryVent fabric to repel moisture and keep you dry throughout the day. The advanced DryVent is protected further with a DWR treatment allowing water to literally run down the technical fabric as opposed to being absorbed. The beauty of DryVent technology allows water vapour produced from perspiration to leave the fabric through microscopic holes within each layer, keeping you dry, cool and comfortable on any adventure and in any weather. Every seam within the Hikesteller Parka is fully sealable meaning no water will enter, with an exposed CF-zipper that can stand up to the elements.
The Women's Aria Shell Jacket is all about bringing the classic windproof jacket right up to date. This high-performance windproof outer layer now matches the rest of your highly functional cycling kit. Gone are the oversize fit and flappy, poor breathing fabrics. In their place are an ultralight windproof woven microfiber front and mesh side panels. These work in harmony to keep out cold winds but offer extremely good breathability too. No cold air can slip inside and yet any sweat you build-up can escape, the result being a perfect temperature when riding. The fit is a revelation compared to jackets of old too. The stretch panels to the sides and back of the sleeves give it a second-skin fit more akin to a race jersey. Less fabric to catch the wind. Less drag. More efficient cycling. A win all-round. In cool to mild conditions, you can keep it on all ride, but if the day warms up it's easily folded up to stuff in your jersey pocket. This is definitely not your old-style wind jacket.
