I particularly like the generous ventilation under the arms, as softshell jackets can quickly become too warm during activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rain Protection<\/strong><br \/>\nThe jacket can handle short rain showers. For prolonged rain, a hardshell is still necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wind Protection<\/strong><br \/>\nThe jacket reliably protects against wind since the softshell material is used on all sides.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cold Protection<\/strong><br \/>\nThe fleece material provides some protection against the cold, but it\u2019s not a dedicated cold-weather jacket.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Intended Use<\/strong><br \/>\nThis jacket is ideal for protecting against wind over extended periods in fluctuating weather when temperatures aren\u2019t warm. I\u2019d generally wear it up to around 15\u00b0C, although that depends on activity intensity. The zippers provide quick ventilation when needed.<br \/>\nIt would also be suitable for winter activities, but I\u2019ll test it further in the coming winter and update this review.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re looking for a jacket primarily to carry in a backpack and wear occasionally, it might be better to choose a different one. This jacket combines a thin wind jacket with a fleece layer, so the weight isn\u2019t negligible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nA great softshell jacket for activities in wind and light rain. The internal padding promises a good climate and increased comfort when used with a plate carrier.<br \/>\nI haven\u2019t used this jacket extensively yet, so I\u2019ll continue to update this review in the future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-element\"><h4 class=\"cta-small-title\">TACWRK<\/h4><h2 class=\"cta-title\">UF Pro Delta Eagle Gen. 3<\/h2><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tacwrk.com\/p\/uf-pro-delta-eagle-softshell-jacket-gen3-brown-grey-67841\" target=\"_blank\">To Product<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is sponsored by TACWRK.
