Very satisfied with this Hi-Tec softshell. It has become my go-to garment, I wear it almost every day. It's so light and practical that you end up forgetting you're wearing it, whether you're moving around the city or outdoors. It does a perfect job as a windbreaker and holds up well against the rain. The lining provides just the right amount of warmth. Great freedom of movement and a simple black design that goes with everything. An unbeatable value for money for such a versatile piece of equipment.
A lightweight softshell jacket with a TecProof membrane, which provides a waterproof rating of 8,000 mm/m2 and a breathability rating of 1,000 g/m2. It is lined with soft fleece on the inside. The jacket protects against wind and rain while offering excellent thermal properties.
The one-way main zipper is finished with a flap that protects the chin from chafing. Ventilation zippers under the arms allow for easy adjustment of airflow and moisture wicking. Velcro-adjustable cuffs, drawstrings at the hips, and an adjustable hood ensure a very good fit. The longer back of the jacket and the high collar protect against wind gusts, keeping the wearer warm.
The Caen model features two spacious pockets on the sides and a chest pocket, all with zippers. Reflective elements increase visibility and safety when moving around after dark.

In 1981, Hi-Tec gained widespread recognition in the UK with the Silver Shadow model, worn by 23% of London Marathon participants. The brand introduced groundbreaking technologies such as the AirBall Concept cushioning system and ultra-lightweight V-LITE solutions, combining comfort with durability.

Hi-Tec Softshell Caen Jacket - Black: an excellent softshell, fits well and feels pleasant inside. It provides good protection against the wind and, interestingly, even handled heavy rain. The size matches the chart – fits perfectly.

Excellent softshell. Provides fantastic insulation, also protects in moderate rain, and on top of that, it remains unchanged after many washes – no discoloration or traces of use. It is very comfortable and works great under a light jacket.

This is a very good jacket for the current downpours – it works perfectly, even if it rains for several hours, I still stay dry. Additionally, it is warm and lightweight.
