A good softshell jacket is an essential piece of kit that will keep you warm and dry in a variety of conditions. Here are some of the best.

 

Rab’s Integrity jacket is among the heavier softshell jackets on the market, so it’s well suited to colder climes. Slim fitting and made from tough but stretch Matrix Integrity Weave fabric, it should last you for years.

 

The Marmot ROM sits at the thinner end of the scale and doesn’t have an insulating layer. However, it protects you from the wind with ease where some rivals can let in a chill, with various online reviewers hailing the ROM as one of the few truly windproof softshell jackets out there.

 

Black Dawn Diamond Dawn Patrol is a mid-weight softshell suitable for all four seasons. It boasts great ventilation, so consider it if you are going to work up a sweat hiking or trail running.

 

Premium brand Arc’teryx has become something of a status symbol in some quarters, but this fame is backed up by top quality gear. The Gamma MX hoodie offers great attention to detail, including articulated elbows and gusseted armpits. It’s worth the high price tag to get such a great jacket that will last a long time.
