Hiking jackets
A hiking jacket is a type of outerwear that is designed to protect the wearer from adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow or strong wind. In addition, the jacket should provide adequate thermal comfort, insulating you from the cold while wicking away the moisture created during exercise. In this category you will find a wide selection of hiking jackets suitable for many activities.
The choice of a hiking jacket should depend on several factors. First of all, it is worth considering where you will be using it, at what time of year and what conditions prevail in those areas. If a significant part of your excursions take place in spring and autumn, or you travel to places where rainfall is common, then a jacket with a membrane (hardshell) will be a good choice. A membrane is a type of thin film made of Teflon, which protects the wearer from rainfall while ensuring that sweat is wicked away. Hardshell jackets are some of the best protectors against rain. However, it is worth remembering that hardshells are not recommended when undertaking intense physical activity, as their material does not allow for sufficient moisture wicking. On the other hand, for traveling in winter and in areas where the temperature is usually close to 0°C, it is worth choosing a warm down jacket.
Softshells are also a worthwhile option. A softshell is a lightweight outdoor jacket that is equipped with a hydrophobic, water-repellent coating. Softshells also have the advantage of wicking moisture (sweat) well away from the fabric. In addition, more and more often softshell is also chosen as a transitional city jacket. When looking for a hiking jacket, also pay attention to multi-season jackets. This type of jackets will work well both in warmer weather and during colder days. Some multi-season jackets are equipped with an additional warm fleece, which can be detached from the jacket on warmer days.
