Water‑repellent jackets are treated with a special coating that causes droplets to roll off the surface. This protects against light rain or snow, but is not fully waterproof. Over time the coating can wear off; retreatment is possible.

Breathable materials wick away body heat and sweat. Especially during physical activity, this prevents overheating or a clammy feeling. The higher the breathability, the better the jacket performs during intense activities. Breathability (MVP): up to 10,000 Breathability is measured as MVP: Moisture Vapour Permeability. This value indicates how many grams of water vapour per square metre of fabric can escape in 24 hours. The higher the MVP, the better the jacket’s breathability.

All-season jackets are designed for flexibility and are perfect for unpredictable weather. They are often lightly insulated, breathable, and easy to combine with other layers. This gives you one jacket you can wear almost all year round.
