Fohn Polartec Power Shield Pro Hooded Softshell Review

• For the days between the depths of winter and the highs of summer, and for fast and light activity on colder days, this softshell jacket offers the protection you need with none of the extra bulk that could slow you down. Breathable, water resistant and with an active fit, it’s suited to a wide range of outdoor pursuits where other jackets could prove too heavy, or not offer enough protection from the elements.  Polartec® Power Shield® Pro: advanced softshell technology The versatility of this jacket is made possible by the advanced Power Shield® Pro fabric from leading innovators Polartec®. This advanced softshell fabric is designed to give the perfect balance between weather protection and breathability. Highly wind and water resistant, it’s a fabric that works so well for outdoors clothing because of its breathability. When terrain, conditions and effort can vary considerably over the course of a day out, Power Shield® Pro regulates warmth and crucially allows sweat build up to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable. This active breathability and temperature regulation makes this a softshell that will get you out on the door and keep you out there, pushing on to the next summit.  Lightweight and ready for anything This is a true multisport jacket, ready for anything you can throw at it over an active weekend away. From mountain biking to high mountain hiking, not to mention popping to the shops, it’s a layer you’ll find yourself reaching for more and more. Fohn have kept the construction simple, shedding unnecessary features that could slow you down. A chest pocket and two zipped hand pockets keep things safe, with the hand pockets acting as secondary vents during high intensity activity. The minimal hood is hard to notice, but effective when you need it. With a full length zip for additional venting and an adjustable hem to keep heat in when the temperature or intensity drops, this is a really versatile shell.  Layer up Thanks to an active fit that sits close to the body without feeling restrictive, this is a great layering jacket that fits easily under a waterproof shell if the weather gets rough.
