The water repellency of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. The jacket does not soak up water and remains light and breathable. Water repellency is obtained by applying a treatment to the outer face of the fabric, but with use, these properties can be altered. To find out how to reactivate the water repellency of a softshell garment, consult our article "Maintenance, washing and repair of a waterproof or water-repellent garment" on the Forclaz website.
