Buy ❤️ Forclaz Trek 500 WindWarm, Warm Softshell Windproof Hiking Jacket, 👩 Women’s 🧨

You’ll love the multi-purpose features of this softshell jacket! It has ventilation zippers, thumb loops, an elasticated waist and 2 hand pockets.

Our designers, made up of mountain backpacking enthusiasts, designed this softshell jacket to cope with changing weather conditions.

What is the fit of the softshell jacket?

Relatively close-fitting cut. The jacket is designed to be worn with a slim-fitting second layer such as a fleece.

Breathability

The main fabric used throughout the jacket, except at the sides, has a windproof membrane with a breathability of 6.2 lbs/sqm for 24 h (according to the JIS 1099 A standard).

Features

2 hand pockets.
Jacket hem tightened with an elastic cord + toggles.
Lycra cuffs + thumb loops at the cuffs to prevent any heat loss.

Thermal comfort and windproof

The wind makes you feel considerably colder.
With an outside temperature of 32°F and a 12 mph wind, the perceived temperature is 14°F.
The so-called “windproof” components block this uncomfortable wind chill. Forming a barrier against the wind, they effectively reduce heat loss.

Water-repellent properties of the component (not to be confused with waterproofing)

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and warm. The water-repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment’s lifespan (recommended after each wash). Products are available for this purpose in our stores. All the Quechua Softshells have a water repellent treatment.

How to restore the water-repellent properties?

Over time, after washing and the wear and tear during use, the water repellent treatment becomes less effective.
This is how to re-activate the water repellent feature of your padded jacket!
