Shark skin soft shell jacket for men — a technical outdoor jacket built for active use in variable conditions. The smooth, dense outer fabric (nicknamed shark skin for its characteristic tight weave and tactile texture) is windproof and water-resistant, while the inner fleece layer provides warmth without bulk. The result is a jacket that genuinely performs outdoors while looking clean enough for casual urban wear. Available up to 4XL for extended sizing.
What Is Shark Skin Fabric?
Shark skin fabric refers to a tightly woven technical textile with a smooth, almost slick surface texture. The dense weave blocks wind effectively and resists light to moderate rain, while still allowing moisture vapour to escape from the body — keeping you warmer and drier than a standard fleece or cotton jacket. It’s a popular choice for outdoor pursuits, workwear and active commuting.
Key Features
- Shark skin outer — windproof, water-resistant technical fabric with smooth exterior finish
- Fleece inner lining — warm, soft backing that adds insulation without weight
- Breathable construction — moisture vapour escapes outward, preventing sweat build-up during activity
- Full zip front — clean closure with chin guard to prevent zip irritation
- Zip pockets — secure hand warmer pockets and additional utility pockets
- Extended sizing to 4XL — accommodates a wide range of builds and body types
Best For
- Hiking and trekking — windproof performance on exposed trails and summits
- Outdoor work — practical, durable jacket for tradespeople and outdoor workers
- Cycling and running — wind protection without the bulk of a heavy jacket
- Casual daily wear — clean technical aesthetic that works in urban settings
- Transitional seasons — ideal for autumn and spring when weather changes quickly
Fabric & Care
- Outer: Polyester shark skin weave — windproof and DWR-treated for water resistance
- Lining: Polyester fleece
- Machine wash cold, gentle cycle
- Air dry — tumble drying at high heat can affect the DWR water-resistant treatment
- Re-apply DWR spray periodically to maintain water repellency after multiple washes
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The outer fabric is water-resistant (DWR-treated) rather than fully waterproof. It handles light rain and drizzle effectively. In sustained heavy rain, a fully waterproofed shell jacket would be needed.
How warm is this compared to a standard fleece?
Warmer and more wind-resistant than a standard fleece. The outer shark skin layer blocks wind entirely, which dramatically increases effective warmth in outdoor conditions compared to an exposed fleece.
Is the fit slim or regular?
Regular fit — designed to wear as an outer layer with room for a base layer or mid-layer underneath. Check the chest measurement in the size chart for the best sizing guidance.
Is this suitable for skiing?
It can be worn for mild ski conditions as a mid or outer layer. It lacks the articulated fit and dedicated snow features of a technical ski jacket — suitable for resort base-level activities.

Excellent product
Kurka for his money is good. It came to st. petersburg for 4 weeks, of which almost 3 in russia. With a thin jacket on the shirt in + 10 with fine rain and wind 5 m/s a few hours on the street-warm. The hood is large, zippers-pleased, you can safely fasten with one hand: the stroke is good. Cons: the threads stick out, if you do not wear a hood and do not fasten to the top-around the neck walks the wind (tightening could not adjust so as not to blow), roll the hood neatly into the collar-problem. Velcro on cuffs-weak. Setochka in the armpit area would be in the subject.
Курка за свои деньги хорошая. Пришло в спб за 4 недели, из них почти 3 по рф. С тонкой кофтой на майку в +10 с мелким дождем и ветром 5м/с несколько часов на улице - тепло. Капюшон большой, молнии - порадовали, можно одной рукой спокойно застегнуть: ход хороший. По минусам: нитки торчат, если не одевать капюшон и не застегаваться до самого верха - вокруг шеи гуляет ветер (затяжками не удалось отрегулировать чтобы не дуло) , свернуть капюшон аккуратно в воротник - проблема. Липучки на манжетах - слабоватые. Сеточка в районе подмышки была бы в тему.
Description compatible, great product. RECOMMEND.
Good quality, warm, size matches, many pockets, there are vent holes under the arm (under the arm), the hood is removed into the special compartment. Inside the large pockets there are fastening plastic rings on elastic bands + holes under the headphone wire. On the sleeves there is a place for the patch of patches, on the elbows there are additional. A layer of cloth, behind almost at the level of the fifth point there is a large pocket, i do not know the value-tell me. Of the minuses, but not large-not a comfortable hanger, not deep large pockets, it is not clear why but more often i meet lightning left, it seems to be thought that if left means babsky and right means male, and now it's unisex but left, until i can get used to it, it's not convenient.
