Cool-weather protection with stretch and warmth
A softshell jacket for cool, damp days outdoors, with a water- and stain-resistant finish over brushed polar fleece that insulates from the cold. The stretch fabric allows easy movement, and secure pockets provide extra storage for everyday outings.[1]
Keeping small essentials secure in zipped pockets
With zipped hand pockets and a vertical zippered chest pocket, this softshell jacket gives you secure storage for small items like your phone, keys, or cards while you're out and about. Columbia describes the pockets as secure, and the zippers help keep belongings in place as you move.[1,2]
A stretch softshell that keeps up with movement
Columbia's Cascade Ridge softshell is made from rugged stretch fabric, so it flexes with you on active days. The brushed polar fleece underside adds insulation from the cold.[1]
Adjusting the attached hood's fit at the neck
When you're wearing this softshell jacket with its attached hood up, the cord adjusters at the throat let you cinch the hood closer around your neck. The hood is designed to sit up around the neck, so you can tighten or loosen it to suit conditions.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Cascade Ridge Softshell Jacket: Choose this if you want a comfortable, protective softshell for cool, damp-weather wear: it combines Columbia's Omni-Shield stretch fabric with a water- and stain-resistant treatment and a brushed polar fleece underside that insulates from the cold. Practical details include a full-length zip, attached tunnel hood, secure zipped front pockets, and an adjustable toggle hem, and it comes in Small to X-Large across Black, Mossy Green, and Navy/Midnight Blue. Note that the fleece lining is designed for cold-weather insulation, so it may be warmer than a lightweight rain shell.[1] | Hikebound Raincoat: Choose this if you want a minimalist hiking raincoat for wet-weather wear: Omni-Tech fabric provides water resistance and breathability, and a mesh-lined interior was reported as comfortable even over just a t-shirt. It suits hikers who value freedom of movement and coverage, with a relaxed fit reviewers praised for easy upper-body movement, an adjustable hood, hook-and-loop cuffs, a drawcord hem, a storm-flapped front zip, and zipped pockets; one user reported no water getting in, even behind waterfalls in Iceland. Be aware it is a heavier option at 18 ounces—about twice as heavy as some competitors, though that tradeoff brings durability and reviewers did not notice the weight while wearing it—and reviewers found its breathability subpar despite the relaxed fit encouraging some airflow.[3,4,5,6,7] | Hikebound Raincoat: Choose this if you want a roomier, more substantial waterproof shell for cooler day hikes and don't mind extra weight — OutdoorGearLab notes it weighs 18 ounces, about twice as heavy as some competitors, and finds it durable enough that brushing against rock and trees didn't damage it. Its Omni-Tech fabric is fully seam sealed, and reviewers stayed completely dry in moderate rain showers, with strong shower-test results comparable to some higher-end models. Because the mesh-lined shell holds more warm air and has no pit zips, the same source suggests it's a better match for cooler, lower-output walking than for humid summer climbs.[4,8,9,10] |
