Which jacket should you take on a hike or trip?
Finntrail jackets for the outdoors are made for hiking, travel and days in the forest, when the weather can change within a couple of hours. There are light membrane jackets that pack into a backpack, a long rain coat for standing or bending in the rain, and softshell jackets for a windy but dry day. OUTDOOR 1309 with a 12,000 mm membrane suits most hikers.
How to choose, who they are not for, and FAQ
Who they are for
- •A day hike, when the jacket stays in your backpack all morning and only comes out when a cloud rolls in: OUTDOOR 1309 packs down small.
- •Mushroom and berry pickers who bend down for long in a wet forest: the long DryCoat 4020 rain coat covers both your back and your hips.
- •A windy walk by the sea or across open fields when it is not raining: the softshell TACTIC 1323 and HYBRIDSHELL 1314 block the wind and breathe.
- •Women travelling with a backpack: both women’s jackets, OUTDOOR W 1311 and SIERRA 3451, have a 12,000 mm membrane.
How to choose
First decide whether rain is likely or merely possible. Then think about whether you will mostly be walking or standing still.
Situation Best for Models Rain is only possible When low weight matters most. No membrane: the DWR C6 coating repels drops and drizzle and the ventilated back breathes, but the jacket will not hold off a downpour. SKYLIGHT 1301 Hiking in changeable weather Light membrane jackets for your backpack, 12,000 mm. OUTDOOR and OUTDOOR W let out 10,000 g/m²/24h, so they suit a faster pace; SIERRA has YKK zips and reflectors. OUTDOOR 1309, OUTDOOR W 1311, SIERRA 3451 A long day in the rain APEX: a 3-layer membrane, 15,000 mm and a ventilation system, for when it rains from morning on. DryCoat: a long coat with a 10,000 mm membrane, comfortable when standing or bending to the ground. APEX 4027, DryCoat 4020 A windy but dry day Softshell stretches and breathes, so it suits brisk walking. TACTIC has a removable hood and underarm vents, HYBRIDSHELL is lighter and stretchy for everyday wear. TACTIC 1323, HYBRIDSHELL 1314 What these jackets are not for
- •Heavy rain in SKYLIGHT 1301. It has no membrane, so it will soak through in a downpour; for a day like that choose APEX 4027 or OUTDOOR 1309.
- •A full day in the rain in softshell. TACTIC 1323 handles a short shower and drops, but softshell is not waterproof.
- •A winter outing in the cold. These jackets have no insulation, so you need a thermal layer under them, or choose warm suits.
Frequently asked questions
Which jacket takes up the least space in a backpack?
SKYLIGHT 1301 and OUTDOOR 1309 take up the least space: both are light and pack down small. The key difference: OUTDOOR has a 12,000 mm membrane and keeps out rain, while SKYLIGHT only protects against wind and drizzle.
What should I wear for mushroom picking on a rainy autumn day?
Wear the long DryCoat 4020 rain coat: it reaches below the waist, so your back and hips stay covered when you bend down to pick mushrooms. If you walk more than you bend, the shorter APEX 4027, with a membrane rated at 15,000 mm, is more comfortable.
Will I sweat in a membrane jacket on a long hike?
Less so if you choose a higher breathability figure. OUTDOOR 1309, OUTDOOR W 1311 and the softshell TACTIC 1323 let out 10,000 g/m²/24h, APEX 4027 and SIERRA 3451 7,000 each. When you warm up, unzip or open the vents.
Which jacket can I wear in town and in nature at the weekend?
HYBRIDSHELL 1314 works for both: a light, stretchy softshell jacket with a water repellent surface for everyday wear and changeable weather. If rain is forecast for the weekend, put OUTDOOR 1309 in your backpack.
Is the women’s SIERRA 3451 suitable for hiking?
Yes: SIERRA 3451 is light, its HARD-TEX membrane is rated at 12,000 mm, and the anatomical cut adapts to your figure with adjusters. The reflective details come in handy when you walk back along the roadside as it gets dark.
