Most sportswear is versatile enough to use. But if your passion is hiking, camping, exploring new terrain, extreme trekking or mountaineering, then you need a special outfit. This is exactly the kind of special clothing with Softhell technology we will talk about.
Literally, the word combination SoftShell is translated from English as “soft shell”. The technology is used not only for men’s travel jackets, but also for other travel clothing and even for shoes. How it will be useful in tourism – we will talk further.
SoftShell technology is a new word in hiking outfit concept! Every hiker is well aware of the basic principle of hiking equipment of three layers – wearing, warming, protecting. And softshell jackets allow you to reduce this rule to two layers, without losing ergonomics and functionality. This option of clothing for tourism can save on the purchase of an additional warm fleece jacket or jacket.
How Soft Shell jackets are made
Men’s softshell jackets have a soft fleece layer on the inside that keeps the body warm and wicks sweat away and a durable protective layer on the outside:
Both of these layers are combined and “work” together, so they are really effective against adverse weather conditions, which is one of the most important characteristics in the selection of hiking clothing for men.
- The highlight of the garment is a hydrophobic lining (bottom layer) with a special polyester nanowool, which provides good thermal insulation at a minimum weight. Micro piles are composed of thin fibers that allow the material to stay dry during adverse weather conditions.
- Of course, the jacket has good moisture wicking properties to protect against snow and rain, while remaining soft on the inside and comfortable during active movements.
- The material’s nanoworth is so technologically advanced that it instantly distributes moisture received from the outside over its surface, and your body heat dries these individual thin fleeces. In this case, if you sweat, the fabric transports moisture from the inside, excreted by the body to the outer fabric, where it will already evaporate into the environment.
