Your guide through the outdoor jacket jungle
Many factors determine which jacket best fits your needs. First, it is important to know whether you want an outdoor jacket for men or women, or a kids jacket.
Next, you need to think about the season in which you want to wear the jacket. Are you looking for a warm winter jacket for skiing, ski tours or everyday use? Despite its warm lining, a windproof, waterproof and breathable jacket ensures a warm lining for a pleasant body climate – even on ambitious ski tours. Jackets for the transition seasons – fall and spring – have linings that are less warm, but still provide excellent protection against rain, mud and wind. These jackets also need the breathability of outdoor jackets to ensure that your body is well-ventilated even during strenuous adventures. Lightweight lining can keep you warmer when the weather is variable or a brisk wind is blowing on the mountain peak when you arrive. In the summer, a lightweight jacket is usually adequate. It should protect you against rain on a hike or keep you warmer in cooler mountain temperatures. Four-seasons jackets are excellent companions in every season. At VAUDE, you’ll find the right model for women, men and children.
Hardshell, softshell or fleece – what kind of jacket do I need for hiking?
The season plays a role and the type of sport you will be wearing the jacket for is also important. Our jacket consultant will tell you which jacket you need for hiking, for example. The jackets that are suitable for cycling are different from the ones for trekking or backpacking. Their cuts, materials and functionality can be similar or very different. If you’d like to wear your outdoor jacket every day as well, on the way to work or in the city, you probably have special wishes for its design. Our VAUDE jacket consultant will point the way through the jacket jungle.
