Shell jackets offer the ultimate protection against wind, rain and snow. At Jobb og Fritid you will find a wide range of shell jackets for men – jackets built with technologies such as GORE-TEX, Pertex and similar waterproof and breathable membranes.
A good shell jacket is lightweight, packable and keeps you dry even in heavy weather. We stock models for everything from day hikes in low-lying terrain to demanding mountain trips and ski tours. Shell jackets typically feature underarm ventilation zips, an adjustable hood and pockets positioned to work with a backpack.
For light use and warmer days, a lightweight 2.5-layer shell jacket is sufficient. For tougher use and long trips in demanding weather, we recommend a more robust 3-layer shell jacket. A good shell jacket is an investment that will last for many years with proper care.
For the conditions of northern Norway, layering is the smartest approach. Next to the skin, a base layer in wool or technical synthetic; a mid-layer for warmth; and an outer layer to protect against the weather. With the right combination you can adjust your temperature to suit your activity and conditions without changing your entire wardrobe.
A shell jacket is a waterproof and windproof outer layer with no insulation, designed to protect against rain and wind. It is worn as the outermost layer in a layering system, over a warm mid-layer.
Choose a shell jacket when you need full protection against rain and snow. A softshell breathes better and is more comfortable in dry weather, but is not waterproof.
Brands include Arc'teryx, Norrøna and Helly Hansen, chosen to handle the demanding conditions of northern Norway.
