One of our softshell jackets is an ideal companion no matter how small or large of an outdoor challenge you’re tackling. If you’re heading on a light hike with the kids, a softshell jacket will keep you comfy and warm as you hit the trail. It will keep the heat in and the cold out when temperatures dip.

Or maybe you’re off climbing a mountain and need a jacket you can stay active in for hours. Just strap on your mountaineering boots and pack your climbing gear into your backpack. Then don your softshell, and you’re ready to go. Of course, if you’re heading up the mountain in the dead of winter, you might be better off looking into our hiking jackets. A mens puffer jacket or a mens parka jacket will keep you toasty even in freezing conditions. But for a climb in milder conditions, a softshell will still ensure that you stay warm and protected.

Keep warm and dry with Columbia’s technologies

Softshell jackets retains heat and keeps you warm in chilly weather, even in a thin layer of clothing.

However, our jackets are also lightweight and breathable, with moisture-wicking which lets moisture and excess warmth escape the fabric. The breathability and low weight makes sure that you can stay dry and unrestricted, so that you can enjoy being outside as long as you want.

Speaking of staying dry, our technology Omni-Shield™ makes sure your softshell coat is water and stain repellent. Omni-Shield™ jackets are equipped with a quick-drying and long-lasting tech which prevents the fabric from absorbing liquids. This enables the fabric to repel both water and stains, keeping your jacket dry and clean.

This allows you to explore the great outdoors even when it’s drizzling. If you need a jacket to withstand more rain, you might want to considering opting for a mens waterproof jacket instead. Choose what level of waterproofness you need in your clothing by selecting one of Columbia’s easy-to-understand waterproof categories:

• Drizzle: Gives you lasting repellency and resists moisture absorption.
• Rain: Uses waterproof fabric and has sealed exposed seams.
• Downpour: Has sealed seams and air-permeable waterproof protection.
• Deluge: Means zero wet out.
