For those moments when the weather changes faster than the forecast.

The Stockhorn is our lightweight hardshell jacket for women, weighing just 350 g in size M. It keeps out rain, wind, and snow: 15,000 mm water column, taped seams, and taped YKK zippers. And it’s completely PFC-free.

Inside is a fine mesh—the inner lining. It doesn't provide warmth, but it keeps the membrane from touching your skin. That way, nothing sticks, and you won't feel chilly, even if you put the jacket on right over a T-shirt.

What it's for

A walk with the dog that suddenly ends in a thunderstorm. The bike ride to work: The hood fits over your helmet and can be adjusted at the back, and reflective prints on the front and back make you visible at dusk. The fall hike where no one knows if the weather will hold.

What not to use it for

The Stockhorn isn't designed for hours-long hikes in steady rain or for sub-zero winter days. There are heavier, lined jackets for that.

Our Tip for the Transition

Wear a warm second layer underneath: the New Montreal fleece jacket, the New Helsinki fleece vest, or the Riffelalp softshell. Together, this duo keeps you warm and dry; on its own, the Stockhorn is light enough for spring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Stockhorn really waterproof?

Yes. A 15,000 mm water column, taped seams, and taped YKK zippers will keep you dry during downpours and thunderstorms. For several hours of continuous rain, we recommend a heavier jacket.

Is it warm enough for winter?

Not on its own—it doesn't have any insulating lining. In the fall, it works well with a fleece jacket underneath. When temperatures drop below zero, it's not the right choice.

What is the tenderloin?

A fine mesh lining on the inside. It doesn't provide warmth, but it ensures that the membrane doesn't touch the skin directly. This feels more comfortable and prevents you from feeling chilly, even when wearing just a T-shirt.

Can I wear a fleece jacket underneath?

Yes, the regular fit leaves room for a second layer. The New Montreal fleece jacket, the New Helsinki fleece vest, or the Riffelalp softshell are ideal choices.

Is it suitable for biking?

Yes. The fixed hood fits over a helmet and can be adjusted at the back to fit your head or helmet size. Reflective prints on the front and back make you visible at dusk.

Will I sweat in it?

The membrane wicks moisture away to the outside (MVP 10,000 g/m²/24 h). It also features mesh-lined side ventilation zones: they’re always open—no adjustments needed. Even so, any rain jacket will get warm during a steep climb.

How much does she weigh?

350 g in size M.

How does the size run?

Regular fit, even in larger sizes. Our model is 1.68 m tall and is wearing a size S. Customers say the fit is “perfect.”

What kind of bags does she have?

Two side pockets and a front chest pocket that fits your cell phone. All zippers are taped and made by YKK.

What does "PFC-free" mean, and why is it important?

PFCs are a type of PFAS: fluorinated chemicals that were once used in many rain jackets to create a water-repellent effect. They hardly break down in the environment. The Stockhorn is PFAS-free.

Is the polyester recycled?

No, the Stockhorn is made of new polyester. But it is completely PFAS-free.

Does the water bead up just as well without PFC?

The waterproofing comes from the membrane and lasts. The water-repellent effect of the surface wears off over time, as with any jacket. Wash, tumble dry at a low temperature, and refresh with a PFC-free waterproofing treatment as needed, such as one from Niwax.

How do I care for them?

Close zippers, empty pockets, and wash on the gentle cycle at a maximum of 30 °C using a mild liquid detergent or specialized detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Air-dry or tumble dry at a low temperature; the heat reactivates the water-repellent treatment.

Is this jacket also available for men?

Yes, the Monte Rosa has the same technical specifications in the men's cut.

Can I order them for my team or club?

Yes. You get a 10% discount on orders of 10 or more, a 20% discount on orders of 50 or more, and a 30% discount on orders of 100 or more.

Care instructions +

With the right care, your jacket will stay waterproof and breathable for a long time.
Washing: Close zippers and empty pockets. Wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30 °C using a mild liquid detergent or specialized outdoor detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.

Drying: Air-dry or tumble dry at a low temperature. The heat reactivates the water-repellent treatment.

Water-repellent treatment: If water no longer beads off, wash the jacket and refresh the water-repellent treatment with a PFC-free water-repellent spray.

Longevity is true sustainability

The fashion industry is producing twice as much as it did 20 years ago - and clothes are being worn for shorter and shorter periods of time. Since 1981, Switcher has deliberately gone the other way: we focus on long-lasting, timeless textiles instead of disposable fashion. Our products are made from recycled or organic materials - with the aim of creating garments that last 10, 20 or more years. Because real sustainability starts with durability.

As a founding member of Fabric Loop, we actively promote a circular textile economy: with a focus on repair, reuse and recycling. Sustainability is not a trend, but a decision for quality, responsibility and a more conscious use of resources.

At Switcher, we believe in fashion that lasts longer - and connects people who want more than just the next purchase.
