Softshell jackets

Softshell jacket: for sports and outdoor activities of all kinds

Are you looking for a suitable jacket for the transitional period? For example, for spring or autumn, when it's still pleasantly warm during the day but cooler in the morning and evening? A softshell jacket is perfect for these times, as it keeps your body warm and still impresses with its pleasantly light materials.

At Transa, you will find a large selection of different softshell jackets that you can wear when trekking, but also for other leisure activities and as clothing for your daily commute to work. Whether it's a softshell jacket for women, which can be a little more stylish. Or the softshell jacket for men, functional and practical without a lot of frills, whether a transition jacket or winter jacket - you can choose exactly the jacket that best suits your life here in the shop.

Softshell jacket: light, windproof and water-repellent

A jacket that keeps you warm should always be in your luggage. On cool days or in the transitional period, a softshell jacket is ideal for all outdoor activities.

You can recognise good softshell jackets by the following features:

• The softshell jacket is very light and hardly weighs you and your luggage down.
• It is breathable and moisture-regulating, so you won't work up a light sweat in the jacket.
• The material is pleasantly soft and flexible, so it follows your every move. It is also water-repellent and can withstand even a short downpour. It is also fast-drying, so you can put it on again quickly after a rain shower.
• The material of the jackets is as abrasion-resistant as possible on the shoulders so that it is not excessively worn by the straps of your backpack.
• The softshell jacket has an ergonomic cut and therefore adapts perfectly to your body shape without constricting you.
• The jackets are available with or without a hood. Models with a hood reliably protect your head from wind and rain. Many hoods are also helmet-compatible, so you can also wear the jacket when climbing.
• Pre-shaped elbow sections, underarm ventilation, hoods with adjustable visors or practical thumb loops ensure a comfortable tank top. The seams are often taped and therefore also waterproof.
• Side and chest pockets provide additional storage space, which you can use for a compass, GPS device or similar items when you're out and about.

• Adjustable cuffs, an adjustable hem, a stand-up collar with drawstring and a full-length zip with chin guard also ensure that no wind can penetrate the jacket.

Ideal for the transitional period or as a second layer

The softshell jacket is perfect for activities in the transitional period - i.e. for the first hikes in spring or when the first morning mist sets in in autumn. If the wind is really whistling around the treetops in the mountains again, then we recommend reaching for the Windstopper softshell. With this windstopper model, you can really fight the cold mountain wind.

If the temperatures continue to drop and the rain lasts for a long length of time, you should opt for additional rain protection. A waterproof all-weather jacket (hardshell) is the perfect jacket for you in this case. But you should also pay attention to your softshell jacket in these weather conditions. In this case, it no longer serves as your sole protection, but becomes the ideal second layer. Worn under a weatherproof hardshell, it takes on the classic insulating function when hiking, trekking or alpine touring in winter.
