Shell Jackets

Wind and wet snow are exactly what shell jackets are built to handle. Bob's stocks waterproof shell jackets with taped seams and breathable fabrics that keep weather out while letting sweat escape, so you control your warmth with whatever you layer underneath. Want that warmth built-in instead? Check out our insulated jackets. You'll also find shells throughout our ski jackets and women's outerwear selections.

A softshell jacket is lighter and stretchier than a hardshell technical jacket. You’ll find a softshell is typically more breathable, but also less waterproof than a shell jacket. This is a great option for drier days, but you don’t want to get caught in a wet blizzard in a softshell. A key factor to consider when choosing a shell jacket is the fit and room to allow for layers. A shell jacket can be used on its own in warmer weather, but in the dead of winter, additional layers (base layers and midlayers) are needed for maximum warmth. Shop Bob’s Sports Chalet for a great selection of shell jackets from all the top Brands including Patagonia, The North Face, Marmot, and Mountain Hardwear among others.
