softshell jacket

Stretchy weather layer

A softshell jacket is a lightweight, flexible outer garment made from stretchy, breathable fabric that resists wind and light moisture.

Unlike hardshell jackets, softshells prioritize mobility and comfort over full waterproofing, making them popular for hiking, climbing, and other active pursuits: I grabbed my softshell for the morning trail run.
