Hard Shell Jackets for Every Adventure

Hard shell jackets are for adventurers. A rain jacket will keep you dry when participating in average day-to-day ventures, but if you’re planning to partake in sustained activities where you are exposed to harsh elements for a long period of time, then a hard shell jacket is for you. Hard shell jackets are designed to be both waterproof and breathable to ensure you stay dry regardless of the precipitation or your own perspiration. They are made from more durable fabrics so they last longer and can withstand the rigours of skiing, hiking or cycling. A Cortazu hardshell jacket is the most versatile item in your wardrobe combining durability, functionality and style, so you can be protected on any adventure. 

Key Features of the Best Hard Shell Jackets

A hard shell jacket is engineered to be incredibly tough, crafted from high-quality materials that can endure harsh weather conditions, rough terrains, and constant wear and tear. One of the key features of a hard shell jacket is its ability to keep you dry, providing a reliable waterproof barrier even in sudden downpours or snowy conditions. The waterproofing of a hard shell jacket is typically achieved through a combination of durable water repellent (DWR) coatings and waterproof membranes. 

All Cortazu Hardshell jackets are made from 3-layer Dermizax®EV. This technology prevents water from penetrating the fabric while allowing moisture from sweat to escape, keeping you dry inside and out. But what makes these jackets even more appealing is their breathability. Advanced fabrics and membrane technologies allow moisture vapour from sweat to escape while preventing external water from entering. This breathability is crucial for comfort during high-intensity activities and varying weather conditions.

From hiking and trekking to cycling and city commuting, a hard shell jacket needs to be versatile enough to adapt to various activities. Cortazu’s designs are tailored to meet these demands, offering features such as adjustable hoods, multiple pockets, and ergonomic fits that provide both functionality and style.
