What is softshell?
It is a warm protective jacket that protects you from the wind and a short downpour (about 30 minutes) of light rain or snow.The fabric used is an assembly of 3 materials: a breathable and windproof microporous membrane sandwiched between the water-repellent outer layer and the inner one made from warm, comfortable fleece.
Thermal comfort and windproof
The wind makes you feel considerably colder.Where the outside temperature is 0°, with winds of 20 km, the temperature feels like -10°.""Windproof"" components fight the uncomfortable effects associated with this ""freezing effect"". Forming a barrier against the wind, they effectively reduce heat loss.
Breathability
In areas that are sensitive to wind (front and sleeves) the fabric has a windproof membrane; breathability is therefore lower.Performance is 2,839 g/m2/24 hrs (according to standard JIS 1099 A).To improve breathability on the back and sides, the fabric does not have a membrane.Performance is 3,219 g/m2/24 hrs (according to standard JIS 1099 A).
Water repellent property of component (not to be confused with waterproofing)
Water-repellency makes water run off a surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and breathable.The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface, however this property may deteriorate with use.To reactivate it, follow the guide:https://www.quechua.co.uk/advice/how-do-you-restore-water-repellent-properties-your-jacket-a_86426?_ga=2.225541081.2119208219.1522845447-1496252894.1522845447
