Blaze Softshell Hooded Jacket - Men's

A bluesign® APPROVED product is certified to be made using environmentally friendly processes. This means that the materials used are safe for both the environment and the workers involved in production. The bluesign® system focuses on eliminating harmful substances and promoting efficient resource use, ensuring that your purchase supports sustainable practices.

A PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating means that the jacket repels water without using harmful perfluorinated chemicals. This makes it a safer and more environmentally friendly option. Choosing a PFC-free jacket helps reduce your impact on the environment while still keeping you dry during light rain.

Softshell jackets offer a great balance of warmth, breathability, and weather resistance. They are made from stretchy materials that allow for greater movement and comfort, making them ideal for outdoor activities like hiking. Unlike hard-shell jackets, softshells are more flexible and comfortable, making them perfect for mild weather conditions.

Four-way stretch nylon is a fabric that stretches in multiple directions—up and down, as well as side to side—without losing its shape. This feature is crucial for activewear, as it provides greater freedom of movement and comfort during activities like hiking or climbing. Choosing garments made from four-way stretch nylon ensures you can move easily and comfortably.

Insulation is important for keeping you warm, but a jacket labeled as having "none" means it is designed to be lightweight and breathable rather than heavily insulated. This makes it suitable for mild weather conditions, allowing for better airflow and comfort during physical activities. If you’re looking for a jacket for warmer days or high-energy activities, this type of design is ideal.

Yes, a softshell jacket with a PFC-free DWR coating is designed to repel light rain effectively. While it may not be fully waterproof like a hard-shell jacket, it will keep you dry during light showers and is perfect for outdoor activities where breathability and comfort are essential.
