Softshell Jackets
Professional Softshell Jackets with Tactical Functionality
A high-quality softshell jacket is essential in a functional clothing system for intensive use. Softshell jackets combine windproofing, water-repellent properties and breathability in one versatile outer layer. During skirmishes, milsim events or outdoor training, they offer protection against changing weather conditions without compromising freedom of movement.
Within this category, you will find tactical models from brands such as 101Inc., Clawgear and Helikon-Tex. These brands are known for their durable construction, tactical functionality and thoughtful fit. Softshell jackets are a logical addition to our Tactical Clothing collection, which focuses on layering and performance.
Why choose a tactical softshell jacket?
- Windproof and water-repellent, suitable for changeable conditions
- Breathable membrane prevents overheating during intense movement
- Stretch material for maximum freedom of movement
- Functional pocket layout, compatible with plate carriers and chest rigs
Unlike a hardshell, a softshell jacket offers more flexibility and comfort during dynamic use. The elastic outer layer moves with you when sprinting, kneeling or taking cover. At the same time, the fleece or microfleece inner layer provides light insulation, keeping the jacket effective even at lower temperatures.
For a complete set-up, simply combine a softshell jacket with Combat Shirts, Fleece Vests or Combat Trousers, depending on the season and the mission.
Material & Durability
Softshell jackets in this category are usually made of multi-layer polyester or nylon fabrics with elastane for stretch. Many models feature a 2- or 3-layer construction with a wind and water-repellent outer layer, a breathable membrane and an inner layer for extra comfort.
Reinforced panels on the shoulders and elbows increase wear resistance when used in combination with rucksacks or tactical equipment. High-quality zips and durable stitching ensure that the jacket can withstand intensive use during prolonged deployment.
Brands such as Clawgear and Helikon-Tex often use technical coatings that repel light rain, while 101Inc. focuses on robust and practical models with a functional layout. This makes softshell jackets suitable for both novice and experienced players.
What can you find in this category?
- Tactical softshell jackets with hoods or high collars
- Models with ventilation zips for temperature regulation
- Variants with multiple pockets for gloves, patches or small accessories
- Neutral colours such as black, ranger green and coyote for optimal integration with your loadout
Within a modular clothing system, a softshell jacket functions as the ideal outer layer in mild to cold conditions. For prolonged rain, a hardshell offers additional protection.
Frequently asked questions

Yes, thanks to the combination of freedom of movement and protection against wind, softshell jackets are very suitable for longer periods of use.
What is the difference between a softshell and a hardshell jacket?
