Hardshell

Hardshell jackets are light outerwear and waterproof jackets used as windproof and rainproof shells in the rain, usually worn over a pile fleece serving as an internal padding. The membrane used for hardshells repels water and wind; it’s traditionally made of highly technical materials, as evidenced by GORE-TEX®, a breathable and yet waterproof fabric used by the best outdoor brands including Arc’teryx, Patagonia, Goldwin.

Every outdoor brand offers a massive lineup of waterproof light jackets to go hiking without getting wet. The list of brands manufacturing GORE-TEX® hardshell jackets is pretty long, as it ranges from real outdoor giants such as Patagonia and Arc’teryx, to relatively new brands including Goldwin and emerging hiking-inspired high-end projects. Instead, The North Face has developed and patented its own membrane. Known as FutureLight™, this breakthrough material exploits the nano-spinning technology to repel water and let air pass through. Mainly thanks to the brand’s very own technology, North Face jackets result even more lightweight that traditional outerwear, without compromising on key functionalities like water resistance and ease of movement. The nano-spinning technology of FutureLight™ repels water while letting air pass through, allowing designers to shift elasticity, weight and breathability of each garment. Top-selling hardshell jackets include Arc’teryx Alpha, Beta and Arc’teryx Atom jackets, three variants of a highly technical jacket combining urban design with solid outdoor functionalities. Other standout shell jackets include Patagonia three-layered Torrentshell, Nike ACG Storm-FIT, Goldwin highly functional ski jackets and more.


Which are the best outdoor jackets?

SPECTRUM’s careful selection includes a daily updated list of waterproof jackets from the best outerwear brands. To get your bearing in this offering, and then pick the most suitable hardshell for you, you should be absolutely clear-eyed about your needs. Part of our proposal is made of Beta SL, Beta ST and other Arc’teryx technical jackets, alongside GORE-TEX® puffers and coats from Goldwin. Highly technical gears, originally conceived for hiking and mountaineering, turned into urban staples over the years. Other valid alternatives count The North Face Mountain jackets, Patagonia eco-friendly jackets and Nike ACG lineup of lightweight water-repellent windbreakers and raincoats.

How are hardshell jackets made of?

In order to be breathable and waterproof, rain jackets are made using specific membranes and textures. Most rain jackets are made of GORE-TEX®, an elastic material that retains water and allows sweat to transpire, improving breathability. GORE-TEX® coatings are crucial to the success of many outerwear brands – Helly Hansen, Arc’teryx, Columbia. Yet the list of alternative materials and technologies is pretty long: Barbour offers vintage-looking wax jackets with a tartan interior, while The North Face patented its own material, dubbed FutureLight™, which made its technical jackets ultra light without compromising on breathability.

How to choose the right raincoat?

To select the most suitable waterproof jacket for you, you must first understand whether you need a padded jacket, a simple waterproof shell to cover yourself from rainfall, or a highly professional GORE-TEX® water-repellent shell jacket. Once you understand what type of jacket you actually need, you should think about the technical features. Are you looking for a hooded jacket or do you prefer wearing a cap when it rains? Are you a professional hiker craving for a penchant for technical outerwear or is a plain hardshell enough? SPECTRUM offers a multifaceted roundup of outdoor jackets that ranges from sportswear windbreakers to military-inspired bombers, from ninja-like gorpcore models to selected outerwear that is rooted in street culture like those from The North Face and Patagonia.
