Soft shell solves what a padded vest can't: it keeps you warm without bulk and it stretches. This 205905 has an outer of 94% polyester and 6% elastane at 280 g/m² — the elastane is what lets you bend down and stretch your arms without the garment pulling — lined with 130 g/m² fleece on the inside. It's the mid-season vest for people who move around a lot.

🧺 Care
Machine wash at 30° on a gentle cycle. Soft shell doesn't need a higher temperature.
No fabric softener: it mats the pile of the fleece lining and reduces its warmth.
Do not iron: elastane is damaged by direct heat.
Air dry. The tumble dryer shortens the life of the elastane.
💡 Tip: If you're torn between this soft shell and the 105905 fleece vest, think about the wind. 220 g/m² fleece keeps you warm but lets the air through; soft shell blocks the wind, so at the same temperature it feels considerably warmer outdoors. Inside a building with no draught, fleece is more comfortable and cheaper. And never use fabric softener on it: it's the mistake that ruins the most fleece vests.
