Men's Soft Shell Jackets

Versatile Soft Shell Jackets For All Year Round

Soft shell jackets are a popular outdoor layer, providing all-round light weather protection. They are easy-to-throw-on and smart enough for everyday wear, while being breathable and warm for more adventurous pursuits on land and sea. All of our soft shells have been designed with versatility, performance and durability in mind.

What are soft shell jackets made from?

Helly Hansen softshell jackets are made from a blend of fibres. The two most common components are:

  • Polyamide or polyester - usually the majority fabric in a soft shell jacket is one of these two fibres. As far as possible we use recycled materials, and those which are BlueSign certified
  • Elastane - almost all of our soft shell jackets will contain around 10% elastane which gives the jackets their trademark light stretch

All materials used in our soft shell jackets have been carefully selected and ethically sourced. We are committed to finding the best performance fabrics and our men’s soft shells are no exception.

What is the difference between a windbreaker and a softshell jacket?

A softshell provides all round light weather protection and warmth, with water resistant materials. By contrast, a windbreaker or shell jacket is focussed on wind and rain protection, these do not typically provide any insulation.

Why choose a Helly Hansen soft shell jacket

Performance first
All of our soft shell jackets are designed to help you perform at your best, being lightweight, breathable and warm.

Thoughtfully designed

From every zipper and fastening to cuffs and hoods, each element of each of our men’s jackets has been meticulously planned with input from professionals outdoorsmen and women. They’ve thought of the little details such as chin-guards as well as the big details like fabric selection.

Easy care
Soft shell jackets are quick and easy to clean, with most of our jackets being machine-washable to keep them looking their best without taking up your valuable time. Always check the care label before washing.

Packable
Due to their ability to fold up well and not get creased or marked, soft shells are ideal for travelling or as a spare layer.

Although designed primarily as outerwear, soft shells layer well under a rain coat or hard shell jacket for extra warmth  on colder days.
