The grey tone is neutral and calming, exactly the kind of colour that fits into almost any wardrobe without ever getting tiresome. You can see from the structure immediately that this is a sturdy, functional fabric, built to handle some wear and tear.

What exactly is this softshell

This fabric is made from a laminate of fleece with a technical outer layer, so you essentially get two fabrics in one. The outside is smooth and has a water-repellent finish, so light rain and wind don't just pass straight through. The inside is soft fleece that provides insulation and extra wearing comfort. Thanks to the elastane content, the fabric has stretch across the width, which lets it move nicely with active movement. It's a sturdy quality with a structured drape, so it holds its shape well and won't stretch out or distort easily.
