To reduce our environmental impact, we have put measures in place on several levels:

This process incorporates the color pigments from the initial thread manufacture to reduce water consumption.
– 100% recycled polyester outer fabric.
– PFC-free water-repellent treatment

– Elasticated tightening at the jacket hem,

Thermal comfort and windproof

The wind makes you feel considerably colder.
With an outside temperature of 32°F and 12 mph winds, the perceived temperature is 14°F.
“Windproof” components fight the uncomfortable effects associated with this “freezing” effect. Forming a barrier against the wind, they effectively reduce heat loss. This Softshell Trek 100 model is comfortable down to 39°F when active, worn as a second layer.

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

A fabric is water-repellent when it allows water to slide over its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from swelling 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 for this are available in our stores. All Quechua softshells have the benefits of water-repellent treatment.

How to choose your size

Standard cut. Inside volume enables you to wear a 2nd layer underneath, such as a sweater or microfleece top, for added warmth when needed.
