The next article in our jacket review series will be featuring the Geographical Norway Softshell Outdoor jacket for men.

For those of you who have not come across the term “softshell”, it typically refers to lightweight sport jackets, that are highly breathable and mildly weatherproof. They provide protection against the elements to a considerable extent.

Ranging from polo shirts and pants, to heavy winter jackets, they offer a considerable amount of designs, styles, colors and items. So if you are looking to completing a whole outfit, this brand is a good option to take into consideration.

When To Wear It

This softshell jacket is ideal for outdoor activities. In warm or mildly cold weather, it will prove to be a very suitable item, especially considering the high breathability of the material, which is at a rating of 5000. This will ensure that any perspiration will leave the body and not cause any dampness.

There is proper insulation as well. The high collar to protect the neck, the hood for the head, an inner layer of fleece to provide and maintain warmth, the full-length zipper, and the Velcro on the cuffs for proper adjustment. All these prove essential, especially in cold weather where staying warm is a necessity, and more importantly, retaining the warmth and not allowing it to leave the inside of the jacket.

Because we firmly believe that honesty is the best policy, user reviews are always taken into consideration, in order to leave you with a truthful and more detailed review.

Based on their reviews, this jacket fares pretty well in rain, with the hood being not only helpful in keeping your head dry, but it also does not hinder sight, since it fits properly around the head. This is quite a good thing, considering most people wear softshells while being outdoors, where there might be cars approaching, and a hood that limits your side vision, could prove dangerous.

Others comment on the jacket’s cut and how it fits and looks quite nicely, but most suggest that you order a size larger, due to its slim cut.

As for when in cold weather, the jacket provides adequate warmth and insulation, just as it should.
