WOMEN'S SOFTSHELL JACKETS

Designed with breathability in mind, Softshells are an ideal choice over hard shells on a clearer day, although most will stand up to a small shower too. A favourite item of choice for those needing excellent moisture management, but preferring a more flexible, form fitting and flattering top layer. Snow + Rock stock womens softshell jackets from the very best bands you know and love, such as Berghaus, Mountain Equipment, Fjallraven and Haglofs. For a more casual, lifestyle softshell jacket, have a look at our longer length Ilse Jacobsen parkas.
