This softshell jacket features three pockets secured with waterproof zippers, offering ample storage without compromising on style or functionality.

The fabric is a modern, lightweight, three-layer polyester combined with spandex, constructed with a micro-hole structure that keeps water droplets out while allowing sweat to evaporate. This combination ensures you stay dry and comfortable during activities.

The jacket effectively maintains body warmth while promoting air circulation, making it an excellent alternative to heavy and cumbersome fleece sweatshirts. The thermoplastic polyurethane laminate in the middle layer provides waterproofness, even in moderate rain conditions.

Water Resistance Explained:

This parameter is commonly used in ski clothing to measure the resistance of 1 m² of material against the pressure of a millimeter column of water:

• 0 - 1500 mm: Minimal water resistance, suitable for dry conditions
• 1500 - 5000 mm: Resistant to light rain and fine snow
• 5000 - 10000 mm: Resistant to moderate rain and snow
• 10000 - 15000 mm: Suitable for heavy rain and snow without strong winds

Breathability:

Also known as vapor-permeability, this property describes the fabric's ability to allow perspiration to escape as water vapor. Higher ratings indicate better air circulation, with values between 2000 - 5000 MVP providing a balance between warmth and comfort during moderate physical activity, like construction work.
