Wind, rain, cold and everything in between — the Waterproof Softshell Jacket is the one outer layer that handles all Australian shoulder-season conditions without restricting movement, overheating or failing when weather changes unexpectedly.
- ✔10,000mm waterproof rating — tested to 10,000mm hydrostatic head pressure; keeps out sustained heavy rain, not just drizzle; seam-sealed construction prevents water entry at stitching points where cheaper jackets typically fail
- ✔Stretch softshell outer — the four-way stretch softshell fabric moves with your body; hiking, cycling and active use feel unrestricted compared to traditional stiff waterproof membranes
- ✔10,000g breathability rating — moisture vapour escapes outwards while rain cannot enter; you stay dry from both outside rain and internal perspiration, eliminating the clammy feeling of non-breathable waterproofs
- ✔Adjustable hood with peak — the structured hood adjusts to fit over a helmet or snug around the face; the peak holds shape in wind to protect vision; can be rolled and stowed when not needed
- ✔Underarm zip vents — hidden underarm zips provide on-demand ventilation during high-output activity; dump excess heat without removing the jacket during hiking climbs or cycling efforts
- ✔YKK waterproof-zip pockets — four external pockets including two hand-warmer pockets and two chest pockets, all with waterproof YKK zippers; phone, keys and valuables stay dry even in downpours
- ✔Packable to hand-luggage size — packs into its own internal chest pocket; compresses to a 3-litre volume; ideal for packing in hand luggage, a daypack or a saddlebag for changing weather days

10,000mm is the point at which most outdoor activities and weather conditions are covered. It handles sustained moderate to heavy rain during hiking, cycling and commuting without leaking. For reference, light rain requires around 1,500mm, heavy rain around 5,000mm, and extreme conditions (prolonged downpour while moving) start pushing 15,000mm+. For the majority of Australian conditions, 10,000mm is more than sufficient.
Yes. The stretch softshell allows full arm and shoulder rotation on the bike. The underarm vents manage the heat generated during a commute. The waterproof pockets keep phone and keys dry. The structured hood adjusts to fit over a cycling helmet. The 10,000g breathability means you arrive dryer than in a standard waterproof shell.
Yes. The slim softshell cut fits comfortably under a shell jacket and the stretch fabric allows layering without bulk. Used as a mid-layer the jacket adds warmth, wind protection and moisture management. As an outer layer it handles all ski resort conditions short of extreme alpine storms. Many customers use theirs for both functions across different seasons.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is applied to the outer fabric surface. After machine washing, it can be refreshed by tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes — the heat reactivates the DWR. After extended use, apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment such as Nikwax TX.Direct, which restores full bead-off performance. The waterproof membrane remains functional regardless of DWR condition.
Yes. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner (such as Nikwax Tech Wash) or a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener as it clogs the membrane. Tumble dry low to refresh the DWR coating. The membrane, seams and fabric maintain full performance through regular washing. Most customers wash theirs monthly with no degradation in waterproofing or breathability.
What Our Customers Say
I commute by bike in Melbourne winters and this jacket has changed my commute completely. Stayed dry in 45 minutes of heavy rain last week. The underarm vents meant I wasn't dripping with sweat when I arrived. The pockets kept my phone and keys dry. After three months of daily use it still performs exactly as it did on day one. Exceptional kit.
I live in Hobart and wear waterproofs constantly. This is the first softshell I've owned that is actually waterproof — most softshells just slow water down. I hiked in steady rain for four hours and stayed dry throughout. The stretch is remarkable — hiking uphill felt completely unrestricted. This is my jacket of the year by a significant margin.
I have tried probably eight different waterproof jackets in my outdoor career. This is genuinely in the top two. The combination of real waterproofing with softshell comfort and breathability is something most brands only achieve at double the price. I wore it ski touring last winter and it outperformed jackets from brands I consider premium. Remarkable value.
I use this for running in the rain, commuting and hiking — three completely different activities and it performs well in all three. The stretch fabric follows my running stride perfectly. The hood works in wind. The pockets are deep enough for gloves and a phone. The packable feature means I take it everywhere even when rain isn't forecast. This jacket never leaves my bag.
Bought this ahead of a trekking trip in Tasmania. It rained every day for six days. This jacket kept me dry and comfortable for the entire trip without a single failure. The seams held, the waterproofing held, the breathability meant I was not drowning in my own sweat on steep climbs. One of the best outdoor purchases I have ever made. Highly recommended.
