What is softshell?
It is a warm protective jacket that protects you from the wind and a short downpour (about 30 minutes) of light rain or snow.The fabric used is an assembly of 3 materials: a breathable and windproof micro-porous membrane sandwiched between the water-repellent outer side and the inner face composed of a comfortable and warm fleece.
Thermal comfort and windproof
The wind makes you feel considerably colder.With an outside temperature of 0°C and a 20 km/h wind, the perceived temperature is -10°C."Windproof" components fight the uncomfortable effects associated with this "freezing effect". Extremely effective at reducing heat loss by creating a barrier against the wind
Breathability
The main fabric used throughout the jacket, except at the sides, has a windproof membrane with a breathability of 2814 g/sqm for 24 h (according to the JIS 1099 A standard).
Water repellent property of component (not to be confused with waterproofing)
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and breathable.The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface, however this property may deteriorate with use.The water-repellent property can be reactivated by putting the jacket in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes on low heat.

Product Reviews
Excellent value for money. Best value waterproofed jacket on the market. Cuffed design on sleeves prevents draughts and sleeves rolling up.
I really like the green colour and the fitted appearance. Usually lower priced soft shell jackets are boxy and tend to be too warm if anything. Most things are good about this jacket but I would have preferred velcro cuffs rather than these elastic and thumb-hole ones. The chest pocket is good, but quite small. Everything feels well made and the hood is nice though again quite small. If I were being picky I might forgo the arm pit zips for a more breathable fabric and ideally would love a zipped inside pocket, but overall it is very good.
This jacket is great in the wind and keeps the cold out. I got a slightly larger one so I could fit a jumper underneath if needed. Nice zipped vents in the front to let the air in when needed. Only issue I have had is that the netted material in the pockets was destroyed by my keys. I made the repairs myself as the jacket is perfect for me apart from that.
