What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"The Columbia Trailborne Softshell has become my go-to layer for shoulder season hiking when the weather is hard to read and I need something that moves well but can handle a surprise drizzle. The hybrid stretch construction follows every step without binding, and the Omni-Shield kept light rain from soaking through during a wet morning descent that would have ruined a lesser jacket."The shoulder season trail is one of the better places to be outside, and also one of the harder ones to dress for. Temperatures shift, light rain shows up without much warning, and a layer that fights your movement gets old fast. The Columbia Trailborne Softshell is built around exactly those conditions, pairing Omni-Shield moisture and stain repellency with a comfort stretch hybrid construction that moves naturally through every stride, scramble, and switchback without pulling or restricting.The bonded softshell fabric has enough structure to block wind and shed light precipitation while staying soft and packable against the body. A droptail hem closes off coverage at the back where drafts tend to find gaps, reflective details add visibility on low-light starts and finishes, and zippered chest and hand pockets keep essentials secure without adding bulk. The active fit skims the body closely enough to layer cleanly under a shell when the weather gets serious, while moving freely enough to wear alone when it does not.
