High-performance jackets are clever – and they have to be. After all, they have taken on an important mission. They have to get us through any type of weather, shrug off wind and rain and still look great. No easy job, but thanks to the smart synthetic fibres and functional materials including water-resistant coatings and breathable membranes they are able to pull it off blindfolded.
High-performance jackets are by their nature geared more towards leisure wear. After all, they are basically outdoor jackets, walking jackets, rain jackets and sometimes even winter jackets all in one. As a result, they are best paired with sporty trousers, from jeans and chinos to casual tracksuit bottoms made of sweatshirt fabric. No doubt about it: you should definitely stick to flat shoes wit this look.
The high-performance jacket may be a gifted all-round talent, but not even it can do everything. So definitely have a think about what you need it for before going ahead with the purchase. Long walks and hikes or short shopping trips in the city? Read the product description carefully so you order the right jacket for you.
