TPU, or Thermoplastic Polyurethane, is a flexible and durable type of plastic used in our jackets. It provides light waterproofing, keeping you dry in wet conditions while allowing sweat to escape. This means you can stay comfortable and protected during your outdoor activities.

A softshell jacket is designed to be lightweight and flexible, making it ideal for high-energy activities like skiing. Unlike hard-shell jackets, which are more rigid and fully waterproof, softshells offer a balance of water resistance, breathability, and comfort, allowing for better movement and versatility in various weather conditions.

A breathability rating of 10,000g/m² indicates that the fabric can allow 10,000 grams of water vapor to pass through one square meter in 24 hours. This level of breathability is excellent for active outdoor activities, ensuring that you stay dry and comfortable even during intense physical exertion.

An athletic fit is tailored to hug the body more closely, especially around the shoulders and waist. This design reduces drag and allows for greater freedom of movement, which can enhance your performance in sports like skiing, making it easier to maneuver and maintain speed.

Moisture-wicking refers to a fabric's ability to draw sweat away from your skin to the surface of the material, where it can evaporate. This feature is crucial for active wear, as it helps keep you dry and comfortable during intense activities like cross-country skiing, preventing discomfort from damp clothing.

Yes, a softshell jacket is designed to provide some water resistance, making it suitable for light rain or snow. However, for heavy downpours or extreme weather, a hard-shell jacket may be more appropriate. The softshell's breathability and flexibility make it a great choice for variable conditions, especially during high-energy activities.
