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 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.
