Softshell is the name given to an innovative technology that protects the wearer from humidity and cold. Composed of an overlay of 2 to 3 synthetic fiber membranes, it offers good thermal insulation and has windproof properties. Its breathability and flexibility make it a comfortable and pleasant material to wear, perfect for tough outdoor tasks.

The different types of Softshell clothing

Softshell technology generally falls into four categories depending on the number of membranes.

• The two-layer softshell without membrane: composed of a water-resistant outer fabric and an inner fabric used to maintain body heat
• The two-layer softshell with membrane: superposition of a water-repellent outer layer, a waterproof membrane and a floating inner layer.
• The 2.5-layer Softshell with membrane: similar in design to the two-layer Softshell, it differs in the presence of a coating printed on the membrane to protect it against dirt.
• The three-layer softshell: consisting of two outer and intermediate layers of synthetic materials and an inner layer of fleece

• when putting the garment in the washing machine, at a temperature of 30 to 40°C and with the hand wash program
