Welcome to Spring. Where no jacket is ever "perfect"

We've all been there. You step outside wearing your thick waterproof because the forecast said rain... and ten minutes later, you're sweating under a blazing sun. Welcome to spring in the UK, where no matter what jacket you pick, you're somehow wrong!

Spring clothing is all about being ready for anything. And with summer creeping closer and a spell of warm weather already teasing us, finding the right jacket now means one that’s versatile, breathable, and smart enough to handle those sneaky cold snaps without making you feel like you’re hauling around a winter parka.

Let’s get into how to nail it — without overthinking (or overpacking).

What makes a good spring jacket?

Spring jackets have a tough job. They need to juggle:

• Unpredictable showers
• Chilly breezes
• Warm afternoons
• Light layering ability

So what's the trick? Lightweight weather protection combined with breathability and easy layering.

That's why lightweight shell jackets shine at this time of year — keeping you dry without locking you into a personal sauna.

And if you know you’ll be pushing harder — hiking, biking, or just living life at pace — a softshell can bring wind protection without making you overheat.

Lighter layers are your best friend

Spring is basically the golden season for layering.
Think about it: you want something waterproof or windproof on the outside, and then depending on the day, either add a midlayer or just rock the shell.

If you tend to feel the chill, lighter midlayers are absolute game-changers.
They’re warm enough to take the edge off a brisk morning but breathable and compact enough to shove into your backpack once the sun is out in full force.

It’s all about modular dressing: swap things in and out as the day demands, not locking yourself into one "too hot" or "too cold" jacket all day long.

So what should you look for?

Here's a quick cheat sheet

• Breathability — You’ll want air to move, especially once you get active.
• Packability — Bonus points if it stuffs down small for easy bag stashing.
• Light waterproofing or DWR — Because "light showers" don’t need a full-on expedition suit.
• Layer-friendly fit — Enough room for a fleece or light insulated layer underneath.
• Durability — Spring can be messy, muddy, and rough. Jackets that shrug it off = smart investment.

Luckily, our range of jackets hit all those sweet spots — with big hitters like the Orkan, Grenser, and Forsvar leading the charge this season.
