Canyon’s Softshell jacket is part of Canyon’s Defend range, aimed at countering cold weather and adverse conditions when riding. While many riders will reach for a hardshell when the weather is less than ideal, at Bike Perfect we often choose a softshell when we are in need of the best MTB jacket.
Softshell jackets have a number of advantages over hard shells, namely breathability, durability, and comfort. These days softshells are often as weather-resistant as hard shells too. I have been heading out into the grimness of winter to find out whether Canyon’s Softshell will be our new go-to riding jacket.
