A shell is just an outer layer without insulation that you would typically layer underneath to stay warm. Layering is typically better for active days so you can adjust when the temperature adjusts (i.e. when skiing). In this case the shell is made from Gore-Text Pro Shell, so it provides both outer protection from the elements and allows your sweat to escape well.
