there appeared to be two types of Zenith jacket
There are three current Zenith Jackets:
Zenith Waterproof Jacket – no hood, 4-way stretch waterproof/breathable fabric. Not really a softshell but a lightweight, stretchy waterproof material so might feel a bit like light, stiff softshell. This is the only one which is properly waterproof.
Zenith Hooded Softshell Jacket – breathable, showeproof (DWR-coated) softshell jacket with a hood. Mid-weight.
Zenith Lightweight Softshell Jacket – no hood, lighter-weight than the above and not DWR-coated so less waterproof (though will still be lightly-shower-resistant).
