I bought the jacket last month and it proved itself both in sunny, warm weather and in colder conditions. The material protects well against water, the pockets are convenient, and although the hood could have a better shape, the drawstrings do the job. The jacket provides excellent insulation from rain and wind. Breathability varies: with high effort there can be ventilation issues. The zips work smoothly and do not come undone on their own. The sleeves have well-made Velcro and wind cuffs. The cut is nice and fitted – technical gear fits under the jacket and its shape hides it well, which makes the figure look flattering. I have the navy blue version and it looks great. Initially, I had some concerns about this brand, as I remember the old Alpinus, but now I am very happy with the purchase. The jacket is really good, it's hard to find anything to complain about. Alpinus has regained my trust! The price at Militaria.pl is also very attractive. Rating: five stars!
Alpinus Softshell Aso Jacket - Blue
Softshell jacket with a Hydrotex membrane providing waterproofing at 8000 mm/m2 and breathability at 5000 g/m2. The outer layer effectively protects against wind and cold, and its water-repellent surface limits moisture penetration into the garment.
Soft microfleece, 4-way stretch
The interior features microfleece, which increases thermal comfort during outdoor activities in lower temperatures. An adjustable hood, high stand-up collar, and drawstring at the bottom allow for a custom fit, while four-way stretch ensures that the fabric works well with other layers of clothing.
4 practical pockets
The model is equipped with four zipped pockets: two large side pockets, one vertical chest pocket, and an internal pocket for storing small items.
elastic inserts on sleeves, reflective Alpinus Safety print
Flexible inserts on the sleeves act as hand guards against the cold. The main two-way zip facilitates ventilation and adjustment depending on weather conditions. The reflective Alpinus Safety print on the back improves visibility in low light conditions.

The jacket is really great. It keeps out wind and water, and it's also warm. It got me through last winter well. I would buy it again.
-
Very nicely made jacket,excellent for hiking in windy weather. However it is not water resistant to any noticeable degree,significant levels of dampness will soak through within half an hour in moderate rain. Furthermore,once wet it does not dry easily. Not recommended.
-
This is the best softshell I have ever worn. It performed excellently even in subzero temperatures. It has a simple, minimalist cut with no visible logos, which will be appreciated by those who value a discreet style. On the plus side, there is an internal pocket and an additional chest pocket, which easily fits, for example, keys. I definitely recommend it.

The Alpinus Softshell Aso in blue is a very good, lightweight and comfortable jacket. It is quite fitted, so not every thicker fleece will sit comfortably underneath it.
-
In my opinion, this is a very good choice. The jacket has a very fitted cut, so if someone has a 'tactical belly', it's worth choosing a bigger size. Wearing it over three layers works well in temperatures down to -5°C, and even down to -10°C during physical activity and frequent changes between indoor and outdoor temperatures.

This is the best softshell I've worn so far – it's lightweight, provides a lot of warmth, and you can really feel that it breathes well. So far, it has also handled rain perfectly and hasn't soaked through. Additionally, I think it looks very solid and is well designed. I definitely recommend it.
-
This is a very good jacket! The material is thicker, warm on the inside and very flexible and comfortable. Four zipped pockets. The stitching is careful and aesthetic. I recommend this product.
-
I've been wearing it for some time and I must admit it was a great choice – it's breathable, warm, lightweight, and provides excellent protection against wind and rain. I most often wear it when riding a scooter, especially in strong winds – and it really does the job. I definitely recommend it.
-
After over a year of use, I haven't noticed any signs of wear. The jacket is carefully made and has a nice cut. It's probably too warm for summer, but for the rest of the year it works great. I recommend it to anyone who's unsure.
-
I exchanged the jacket because the previous one also had holes, probably due to poor stitching. The jacket protects well against the wind and keeps you warm, but it got wet on the shoulders after just 10 minutes in light rain.
-
Jacket made from good quality material, comfortable, light, and the colour matches the description. For this price it's an excellent purchase. It insulates heat well and really doesn’t let water through. Highly recommended!
-
My opinion after over a year of use: the jacket works very well. It has decent breathability. In the rain, the outer material gets wet, but so far it hasn't soaked through to the inside (tested in rain for up to 30 minutes). Combined with a thick Helikon fleece it serves as a winter jacket down to -5°C. The zip works flawlessly, the sleeves and seams are in good condition, nothing has worn through. The jacket is flexible and comfortable. The materials used are of good quality, the whole thing is solid. I recommend it.
-
Great softshell. I have no complaints. I wear size L (182 cm tall, 108 cm chest) and it fits perfectly, even with a thicker fleece. It doesn’t restrict movement and doesn’t look too bulky. I’ve tested it in temperatures of 0-5°C; with a warmer fleece it holds up well too. I don’t know how it performs in the rain, but according to the description, the jacket isn’t fully waterproof, so it may soak through in heavier rain. I haven’t had a chance to try it in strong wind yet. Overall, I think this model will work well for regular mountain and trekking hikes. I recommend it!

The colour is khaki – in the photos it looks more like coyote, but in reality, it's a different shade, a bit disappointing, although I expected that. Apart from that, the softshell is very good – not too thick or too warm, but it keeps you warm and, most importantly, really protects against water. I tested it during three hours of walking in mountain rain and it performed excellently, especially on the shoulders where the backpack usually presses water in – everything stayed dry. Of course, in longer rain it probably wouldn't cope, but for moderate rainfall it's fine and I'm satisfied.
