Of course, there are some that are suitable for multiple activities, but some are clearly better than others. In the following, we\u2019d like to provide you with a bit more detailed information on what to look out for when choosing a jacket for your activity of choice.<\/p>\n<p>We love helping our customers decide what to buy, and jackets just happen to be one of those categories where we can really knock ourselves out! For there are jackets not only for mountaineering and hillwalking but also cycling and trail running!<\/p>\n<h2>Mountaineering \u2013 a tough jacket for demanding adventures<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_711\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-711\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Trailrunning-jackets.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-711 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Trailrunning-jackets-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Trailrunning jackets combine breathability with weather protection\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-711\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trailrunning jackets combine breathability with weather protection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mountaineering can get quite rough sometimes, so contact between the rock and the jacket is inevitable. Plus, more often than not, you&#8217;ll be carrying a (heavy) rucksack of some sort, regardless whether you&#8217;re on the approach or on the climbing route itself. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important for jackets that are primarily used for <strong>alpine and rock climbing<\/strong> to be one thing and one thing only: <strong>tough<\/strong>. Tough because you\u2019ll always have to battle with relatively unpleasant weather conditions at high altitudes and on the edges of cliffs. Even if the weather is beautiful on the ground below, the temperature will decrease the higher up the mountain you go. Don\u2019t even get me started on the cold winds. This is why <strong>hard and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/softshell-jackets\/\">softshell jackets<\/a><\/strong> have become the go-to jackets for mountaineers.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s incredibly important for these jackets to <strong>fit well<\/strong> and allow you <strong>enough range of motion<\/strong> for demanding mountaineering activities. If the jacket in any way ends up restricting your freedom of movement, you can basically forget the rest of the day. What\u2019s more, you should always make sure that the <strong>jacket is long enough<\/strong>. This is the only way you can guarantee that it will fit well underneath a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/climbing-harnesses\/\">climbing harness<\/a><\/strong> and won\u2019t ride up over the harness. Another thing to watch out for is the position of the <strong> pockets.<\/strong>. They should be <strong>situated a bit higher<\/strong> so that they\u2019re still accessible when you\u2019re wearing a harness.<\/p>\n<p>If the jacket comes with a hood, it should be <strong>helmet-compatible<\/strong>, because then and only then can the hood be worn over the climbing helmet without any restrictions.<\/p>\n<h2>Hillwalking \u2013 a flexible jacket for unsettled weather<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_712\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-712\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cycling-jackets.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-712 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cycling-jackets-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Cycling jackets schould fit tightly to the body\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-712\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/cycling-jackets\/\">Cycling jackets<\/a> schould fit tightly to the body<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Being in the great outdoors also means having to deal with unpredictable weather conditions. Thus, you need a jacket that will provide <strong>good weather protection<\/strong>. Whether it&#8217;s stronger winds at the summit or a heavy rainstorm that takes you by surprise along the way, you need to be prepared. A <strong>technical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/waterproof-jackets\/\">waterproof jacket<\/a><\/strong> or a <strong>good softshell<\/strong> is the way to go. Good <strong>breathability<\/strong> is also an important factor. At the end of the day, it really doesn\u2019t make any difference if you get wet from rain or your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sweat-rate-calculator\/\">sweat<\/a>, right? Dreadful! Lastly, always keep in mind that you may very well be carrying a heavy pack, so your jacket has to be made to <strong>withstand<\/strong> all of that extra weight and friction and thus <strong>reinforced at the shoulders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>An <strong>easily-adjustable<\/strong> hood is a no-brainer. Nothing is more annoying than when wind and rain whip at you from the front and your hood flies backwards. So, before you commit to buying a jacket, it is important to make sure that the hood can be adjusted so that it\u2019s nice and secure. This may go without mentioning, but I\u2019m going to mention it anyway: Don&#8217;t forget to take your own body type, head shape and general preferences into consideration as well! It\u2019s also advisable to pick a jacket that is big enough to <strong>be worn comfortably with a warm layer of clothing<\/strong> underneath.<\/p>\n<h2>Cycling \u2013 a functional jacket for high speeds<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re on a road or mountain biking, I dare say winds can be a cyclist\u2019s nightmare. They slow down our progress and just make life more difficult in general greater. Jackets that flap around or fill up with air are complete rubbish, so it\u2019s particularly important that a cycling jacket fits well and relatively <strong>close-fitting<\/strong>. This is the only way you can avoid puffing up like a drogue parachute at higher speeds. As compared with other models, the overall <strong>cut<\/strong> of cycling jackets is often a little different. They often feature an <strong>extended back<\/strong>, which serves to provide <strong>your lower back with sufficient protection<\/strong>, particularly when bending forward.<\/p>\n<p>Cycling jackets often come with a <strong>pocket on the back<\/strong> as well. This is particularly convenient not only because you can store all kinds of bits and bobs such as a sewing kit, power bar and replacement tubes, but also because they\u2019re always within your reach. For all you night crawlers out there, the jacket should be as <strong>light<\/strong> as possible and <strong>equipped with reflective elements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Trail running \u2013 a lightweight jacket for speed<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_713\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-713\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Well-prepared-for-variable-weather-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-713 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Well-prepared-for-variable-weather-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Well prepared for variable weather\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-713\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Well prepared for variable weather<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Trail running is a demanding endurance sport. Mountains are climbed and rough stretches conquered in no time at all. When looking for the perfect jacket, you can\u2019t ignore <strong>breathability<\/strong>. Excellent moisture management has got to be top priority. The jacket doesn\u2019t just have to <strong>fit well<\/strong> &#8211; it has to fit as <strong>snugly<\/strong> as possible. Only then can water vapour escape with the least possible resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly on long runs, every gram counts. If you plan on carrying the jacket in your trail running backpack, it should be as <strong>lightweight<\/strong> as possible and have the <strong>smallest possible pack size<\/strong>. A jacket for trail running also has to provide a certain level of <strong>weather protection<\/strong>, that is, it should be <strong>waterproof and windproof<\/strong> at least to some extent, depending upon where and when you plan on wearing it. Some jackets are equipped with a <strong>hood<\/strong>, which is great in heavy rain and strong winds, but it also means some extra weight.<\/p>\n<h2>What else is there to say?<\/h2>\n<p>Outdoor jackets come in all sorts of variations. The question of which jacket is best for a certain activity depends not only on their features but also on your personal preferences. The hardcore mountaineer might rest at the summit in a thin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/windproof-jackets\/\">windbreaker<\/a>, whilst others may prefer a softshell. It\u2019s all subjective. A jacket that irritates you for one reason or another should never be the jacket you end up buying, regardless of how great it\u2019s supposed to be. There are indeed jackets that are better suited for particular activities, but at the end of the day, it comes down to what you want and what works for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any further questions, our customer service team are happy to help.
