The global Softshell Fabrics market size is expected to reach $ million by 2029, rising at a market growth of % CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2029).

The key characteristics and features of softshell fabrics include:

Flexibility and Stretch: Softshell fabrics are known for their excellent flexibility and stretchability, allowing freedom of movement during physical activities. They typically contain a significant proportion of elastane or spandex fibers, which contribute to their stretch and recovery properties.

Breathability: Softshell fabrics are engineered to offer good breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape from the garment. This helps to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating during high-intensity activities.

Water Resistance: Softshell fabrics provide a certain level of water resistance or water repellency. While they may not be fully waterproof like hardshell fabrics, they can resist light rain showers and provide some protection against moisture.

Windproofing: Softshell fabrics have windproof properties, which help to block the wind and provide a barrier against chilling effects. This feature is particularly beneficial during activities in windy conditions or at higher altitudes.

Thermal Insulation: Softshell fabrics can provide a certain degree of thermal insulation, helping to retain body heat in cold weather conditions. They offer a balance between warmth and breathability, making them suitable for a wide range of temperatures and activities.

Softshell fabrics are commonly used in various outdoor garments, including jackets, pants, vests, and gloves. They are popular among hikers, climbers, runners, cyclists, and other outdoor enthusiasts due to their versatility and comfort. Softshell garments offer protection against light rain, wind, and cold while allowing moisture to escape, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.

It's important to note that softshell fabrics come in different variations, with some focusing more on breathability and stretch, while others prioritize water resistance and windproofing. The specific performance characteristics and construction of softshell fabrics can vary between manufacturers and specific product lines.



Softshell fabrics are a type of technical fabric commonly used in outdoor and performance apparel. They are designed to provide a combination of flexibility, breathability, water resistance, and windproofing. Softshell fabrics are often used as a versatile outer layer in active outdoor activities and sports.
