Men's mountain and trekking softshell Forclaz MT100

Description

This softshell jacket has been designed to protect you from changing weather conditions on your mountain routes. Comfortable from 7 to 4 °C! It is not always easy to define what a "Softshell" is. The softshell jacket or "the softshell" is simply essential protection for outdoor activities. Its name comes from its "softshell" technology, which is the union of a windproof and breathable membrane, sandwiched between a water-repellent outer face and an inner face which can be composed of a more or less warm comfortable fleece lining. The advantages of a softshell jacket. A softshell garment offers good thermal insulation thanks to its outer fabric and its membrane which will protect you from the wind, as well as its lining. Unlike a parka or a waterproof jacket, the fabrics of softshell jackets are flexible, breathable and covered with a water-repellent coating that allows this garment to resist light rain. Highly functional, the softshell brings a sporty look that is both elegant and casual. Windproof and heat supply Wind significantly increases the sensation of cold. Thus for an outside temperature of 0 ºC, combined with a wind of 20 km/h, the windchill will be -10 ºC. Components called "windproof" make it possible to eliminate the inconvenience by creating a barrier against the wind: they very effectively reduce heat loss. The breathability level of this jacket The main fabric is fitted with a windproof membrane whose breathability level is 3009 g/m2/24 (according to the JIS L1099 standard, method A2).

Elastic at the bottom of the garment. The water-repellent level of this jacket The water-repellent effect of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. Thus the fabric does not soak up water and remains light and warm. Water repellency is obtained through a treatment without perfluorocarbon (PFC free), applied to the external face of the fabric, but with use these properties can be altered. It is advisable to reactivate the water-repellent effect after each wash. How to reactivate the water-repellent effect?
