A softshell jacket for airsoft is the ideal choice for players, shooters and outdoor enthusiasts who want protection without compromising on freedom of movement.

Why choose a softshell jacket?

A tactical softshell jacket offers protection from wind and cold without restricting your movement. Thanks to the flexible, breathable fabrics and smart ventilation openings, your body temperature remains stable, even during intense action. The water-repellent outer layer keeps light rain out, while stretch zones allow you to manoeuvre effortlessly with your gear or plate carrier. Softshell jackets are also ideal as a mid-layer in cold conditions or as a standalone jacket in mild weather – versatility in its purest form.

Who are they suitable for?

Softshell jackets are ideal for airsofters who want to combine agility and protection, but also for outdoor professionals who are active in changing conditions.

• Airsofters looking for extra protection without restricting movement
• Outdoor enthusiasts & bushcrafters who want functional jackets for training, survival or hiking
• Military & tactical users who want to combine their jacket with plate carriers or chest rigs

Whether you're active in the field, in the woods or at the shooting range – a softshell jacket adapts to your rhythm.

Buying guide: Which softshell jacket is right for you?

Frequently asked questions about softshell jackets

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

A softshell is breathable, flexible and water-repellent – ideal for active players. A hardshell is completely waterproof and windproof and designed for prolonged exposure to rain and cold.

Are softshell jackets waterproof?

Softshells are usually water-repellent but not completely waterproof. For prolonged rain or harsh conditions, we recommend a hardshell jacket.

Can I wear a softshell jacket under a plate carrier or tactical vest?

Yes, most models are slim-fit and designed to be worn comfortably under a tactical vest or plate carrier.

How do I care for my softshell jacket?

Wash your jacket at a low temperature without fabric softener to preserve its breathability and water-repellent coating. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.

Combine your softshell jacket with tactical combat trousers for optimal mobility, sturdy combat boots for grip and stability, and a tactical shirt as a breathable base layer. This makes it easy to put together a complete and durable loadout that works perfectly in all conditions.
