Softshell jackets are lightweight and packable, since they're made of a less rigid material than hardshell jackets. Breathability is a big feature, while the jackets stay water-repellent for outdoor wear.

A softshell jacket is made from a more flexible material, while a "regular" or hardshell jacket is made from a much stiffer material. A snowboard or ski jacket is a good example of a hardshell jacket feel.

Many of our softshell jackets are wind-resistant and water-resistant, so they ARE rain jackets. However, they are more moveable and flexible than standard waterproof outerwear.
