Is a softshell water-repellent or waterproof?
Most softshell jackets are water-repellent, which means that you stay dry when it drizzles or rains heavily for about 10 minutes. As soon as the rain starts pouring down, it is wise to opt for a waterproof jacket. You can only speak of a waterproof jacket if the jacket meets certain requirements. For example, you can only speak of a waterproof jacket at 5000mm or higher. The higher this number, the more waterproof the jacket is. Softshell jackets generally have a value of 1000 to 4000mm, which is water-repellent and only stops the first few drops of rain.
What is a water-repellent softshell jacket?
Softshell is a term mainly used for certain jackets. Water-repellent softshell jackets are often made of stretch material that is often warm, windproof and water-repellent. A softshell jacket is made by weaving several layers together. These jackets are often neither waterproof nor completely windproof, this has to do with the breathability of the jacket, which is very important. The breathability of the jacket ensures that you stay dry and that the jacket also dries quickly.
