Every outdoor brand should include this in its training videos. Seriously. In fairness similar could be said for many Trekitt videos. Superb as always Paul.

"She sells softshells by the seashore . . ." Thanks for the clarification -- all this time I've been under the impression that my somewhat noisy North Face Apex jacket was too heavy to be a soft shell, though it is extremely good wind and rain protection . . . I guess the name itself is something of an oxymoron, unless it refers to a turtle's home! For me, year-round wind protection is important, so instead of a lighter soft shell I carry a Nylon Cierzo shirt -- perfect for exposed places in summer and versatile (and small) enough to carry in cooler seasons too.

I have 4 soft shell jackets across the heavy to light range, and find them to be extremely versatile, breathable and comfortable. The Rab Vapour Rise with Pertex outer, I think the original Vapour Rise, sits in the middle, and has been my go to for winter fast hiking. I honestly hate having to wear a hard shell, but like you said, you gotta have 'em. 🙂

The ME Vulcan is the nearest thing i've ever used that combines near-hardshell levels of durability and water resistance, insulation of a lightweight moisture-wicking micro-fleece and softshell breathability all in one jacket. Another enjoyable and instructive video guys. Looking forward to watching more of your videos in due course.. Best regards. Bob

My layering system basically comprises of Softshells in different weights. No hard shell since they both wet out eventually and sofshells are more durable in my experience. They're based on the PCU. L3 is a Windpro fleece which some people may call a classic buffalo softshell. It's very warm, but it's also very breathable. I plan to use this in freezing temps. My L4 is a Softshell with a windstopper membrane, worn in place or on top of the L5 when needed. Too bad this jacket can't fit the L3 under, but I appreciate the slimmer profile. My L5 are stretchy, unlined softshells. My L6 is a 3L softshell with a windstopper membrane and fleece lining. Reserved only for the colder climates.

Thanks for nailing down the concept and purpose of a soft shell. I sort of had the idea, cause I use the tactical versions like the Condor Summit and others. I suppose the ultra light rain jackets would fall into this category too, but with practically no insulation, just anti-wind and light rain resistance, cause they do leak and wont hold up to any heavy rains, where the heavier tactical soft shells hold off sudden down pours for longer periods, but wont dry out as fast. Cheers!

I find two main types of softshells, lightweight ones and heavier waterproof ones that are basically a thick fleece jacket bonded to a hard shell into one jacket. Softshells are also taking over corporate world, tons of white collar companies are using them for their staff as they can look much neater than other warming jackets, almost looks like a suit jacket.

You are absolutely correct, Buffalo stuff is softshell. Pile and Pertex developed into stuff like Rab's Vapour-rise and also into Paramo via an early plie-lined and unmarketed prototype, I believe. One of the guys involved in that later set up Furtech, I think, which used a pile lining in the jackets and trousers, and which had effectively sealed seams due to the tight folding together of the shell and liner. Heavy and warm though, like the beefier Buffalo items. Paramo's pump liner and especially the newer mesh liner are easier to live with.

I've used Rab Vapour-rise and similar a lot over the years, and also heavy-duty double-weave stuff like my trusty Mountain Equipment Frontier. Both lovely jackets but having tried and rejected Páramo gear years back I've gone back to that almost exclusively over the past two years. New lighter-weight materials and significantly improved fits, combined with weather protection other softshells can't emulate make it my default kit these days. My Enduro windshirt is fine for warmer conditions and summer showers, and can bolster my Velez jacket for serious weather. Over-insulation works best for me. Edit: I've recently taken to using my 8 year old Rab Xenon 1 for over-layering again, rather than my Páramo Torres gilet, as I was finding my arms getting too cold when stationary or during periods of low activity. Paramo stuff isn't actually waterproof in the conventional, industry-accepted sense, but I will never go back to hardshell. Legwear is still a sticking point, as I like my Fjallraven trousers but if it's going to do more than shower I'll be in my Paramo Cascada ll's, despite their lack of handy pockets, as they're ridiculously comfortable. When I have to be out it's regardless of what the weather is like, so I need stuff that doesn't require a lot of faff and swapping stuff out. Conventional systems are just a pain to use for that reason alone.

Fwiw... I'll add a bit of extraneous historical information to help with the high-level view of these garments. "Hard" shell fabrics are called 'hard' because they incorporate a waterproof/breathable membrane (usually) sandwiched between an outer nylon layer (also incorporating a Durable Waterpoof treatment of some type, referred to as a DWR coating) and an internal layer of some sort to protect the delicate membrane from the inside. The 'hard' component, that w/b membrane, was the defining factor. Of course the best known of these membranes is Gore-Tex (there are several competing options). Hard-shell garments are designed to be water-PROOF. The combination of the membrane and the DWR coating provide protection from full-on rain, etc. How breathable they are is a point of some debate. They are typically fairly expensive. And, they are not the toughest frabrics. The nylon outer layer can be torn or damaged from scraping against rocks, etc.. "Soft" shell fabrics did not have any kind of 'hard' membrane in them. That was the defining factor. A softshell fabric would typically be a very tighly woven nylon with a DWR coating. No membrane. That combination provided pretty good protection against wind and would keep you dry in a very light rain/drizzle or snow. And if wetted, they dry fast. They allow quite a bit of breathability. They could incorporate some stretch in the fabric. They also had the nice quality of being softer and quieter to the touch than the combination of materials used to make a 'Hard Shell' garment. They were also pretty tough... very resistant to abrasion and abuse. The original soft-shell material marketed to us was from a company called Schoeller. I think it was called 'DrySkin' or 'Dryskin Extreme.' And I think it hit the market in the 1990's or thereabouts. And that kicked off the whole hard-shell vs soft-shell thing. Over time, there have been many developments throughout these industries and now some 'soft' fabrics incorporate membrane layers to make them even more water/wind resistant etc. And some 'hard' fabrics now incorporate stretch and better durability. So things are merging a bit here and there. The old naming conventions are blurring a bit. It's all good for us though. So many excellent garment choices.

Now I've tried and wore many of them and for me Gamma LT, Gamma MX (warmer to LT) and Montane Dyno XT are right up there if you're looking for a winter softshell jacket. But my vote goes to Marmot ROM 2.0 hooded jacket. That is your softshell all arounder right there. Light, durabile, stretchy, breathable with Gore Tex Infinium on top. A five star softshell IMO. Also, Patagonia's R1 Techface jacket, a mix of fleece and softshell is another to keep an eye on. Anyway thank you for addressing this topic and looking forward to more of your content.

Funnily enough, this video has popped up right when I need it - I've been looking for a softshell to use in a cold conditions. I own a Rab Superflux hoody and find it fantastic. I use it over a merino base layer - it's perfect for hiking in mountains in spring/autumn seasons. I struggle, however, to get my heat regulation right when it's temperatures drop close to 0 and it's windy. Adding another layer of a fleece/polar doesn't work. That's why I've been thinking of getting a softshell. Would you recommend the VR Summit or maybe something else for my use case? I also own a Borealis jacket but - surprisingly - find it not very breathable (a vapor barrier, as you called it). I usually use it over a t-shirt as a wind protection in summer conditions. Still, it's a great jacket, very light and extremely packable.

A great video, which has gone some way to help me with my near future clothing choices 😁 But I’m still going slightly mad. Would I be right in saying, that with the first two lighter soft shells (the Rab Borealis and the VR summit was it) that, if you got caught is prolonged heavy rain, you’d be happy to stick a hard shell over the top? But with something like the ME Vulcan, you wouldn’t really stick a hard shell over it in prolonged heavy rain, as you’re then wearing two membranes in effect. So in that situation, you’d either, chance that the Vulcan would hold up, or probably remove or have not used the Vulcan and use a hard shell, with some other mid layer underneath, depending on temperature? I’ve bought an ME orbital from you. And I’m trying to work out my mid/outer layers (for all seasons). As a first go, I think I’ve decided on an ME Kinesis (with the ME orbital over the top in heavy rain.) And something like an Arc’teryx Atom LT as a more insulated layer in colder days/winter (What’s the ME equiv to the atoms?) again with the Orbital over the top if caught in heavy rain. I’m also coming the conclusion I may need a heavier hard shell for any really dire winter rain/conditions. I’ll soon be booking in with you for a boot fit, so might bend your ears then. Good luck everybody 😂👍🏼 Again, another great video. Cheers Gary.
@trekitt

Thanks Gary, glad you found it useful! Shell is fine to stick over the top over the top of any of the softshells, but you are right in the sense that the Vulcan will be the least breathable and you will have two membranes in your layering system. I would probably have a good look at the forecast before heading out - if constant heavy rain is predicted, I'd use a lightly insulated jacket with a shell, or if the forecast is a little more varied, opt for the Vulcan and use it until it's absolutely hammering it down. Kinesis is a solid midlayer/outer layer, plus Orbital is absolutely fine for horrid conditions unless you're scrambling or climbing. Atom LT is also a great investment and one of my most used layers. The key with these layers is try not to overthink it - take the lot out, use what you need to and you'll eventually be able to narrow it down to just the bits you need/work best for you. Harry
