Sakasvili, softshell jo funkcija yra nepraleisti vėjo. Bet, kad jie yra dalinai atsparus vandeniui - faktas (dėl impregnavimo). Lengvą lietų, net ir trumpą stipresnį atlaiko.
Wiki: "
Soft Shell is increasingly used to describe garments that
combine partial or full water resistance with partial or full wind breaking ability. Soft shell fabrics come in numerous varieties with many garments offering a combination, such as a wicking layer. In many cases insulation is combined in an attempt to replace several layers with a single highly flexible one."
WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shells offer total windproofness and maximum breathability, combining the comfort of a soft mid-layer and the
water resistance of a shell in one garment.
Soft Shells compared to a Gore-Tex Shell:3 times more breathable
Way more stretch
Not as waterproof but will easily shed hours of light, dry snowfall Not as windproof but blocks about 90% of the wind
BY FAR more comfortable in all but the nastiest conditions
Soft Shells compared to fleece:
Does not pill, i.e., will not start looking like a terry cloth rag
Resists water whereas a fleece acts like a sponge in rain and snow
Blocks wind that cuts right through fleece
Don’t attract animal hair (pet owners love this quality!)
ir t.t. ir pan.
Kad atlaiko lietų - asmeninė praktika su winstopper - kai pramuša impregnacija, po truputį įmirksta, bet vistiek net per stipirų lietų peršlampa tik iš dalies - t.y. geriau nei su flisu ar pan.
