TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
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 micro-porous membrane sandwiched between the water-repellent outer side and the inner face composed of a comfortable and warm fleece.
Thermal comfort and windproof
The wind makes you feel considerably colder.
With an outside temperature of 0°C and a 20 km/h wind, the perceived temperature is -10°C.
"Windproof" components fight the uncomfortable effects associated with this "freezing effect". Extremely effective at reducing heat loss by creating a barrier against the wind
Breathability
The main fabric used throughout the jacket, except at the sides, has a windproof membrane with a breathability of 2814 g/sqm for 24 h (according to the JIS 1099 A standard).
Water repellent property of component (not to be confused with waterproofing)
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its 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.
The water-repellent property can be reactivated by putting the jacket in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes on low heat.
