Technical characteristics of the softshell fabric

SOFT-SHELL 3 LAYERS

WATER RESISTANCE + BREATHABILITY = WATERPROOF

Our SOFT-SHELL can be used in professional and sporting environments,
because they are all water-repellent thanks to the water repellent treatment.

The 3-layer SOFT-SHELL is the result of the combination of 3 different fabrics
to offer maximum comfort to the user:

• an external fabric with water repellent treatment
• a waterproof and breathable internal membrane and windproof
• an internal anti-pilling fleece fabric

The internal membrane is made up of a mesh structure that blocks access to
the water molecules while allowing human vapor to escape. This is why 3-layer
softshells are defined as waterproof.
The membrane opposes also resistance to the wind, making the garment windproof.

SOFT-SHELL 2 LAYERS

WATER REPELLENT

In the 2-layer SOFT-SHELL there is no internal membrane,
so the garment is softer and more embracing, but thanks to a repellent treatment
that JRC applies on the external fabric, the garment remain water repellent.
