Kolejne ujęcie terminu soft shell:

'(...) If internal moisture must turn to vapor to exit the shell, it is not soft. (...) garments that afford no effective wind resistance in mountain weather may be soft, but they ain't shells(...)'
Cały podrozdział:
'Simply put, Soft Shell is a concept, not a category. A soft shell, constructed of either a static or stretch fabric, will contain no waterproof barrier - breathable or otherwise. If internal moisture must turn to vapor to exit the shell, it is not soft. A soft shell is, by construction, highly water and wind-resistant and extremely breathable. Secondly, stretch woven garments that afford no effective wind resistance in mountain weather may be soft, but they ain't shells: they're gym clothes. Or we can think of it this way, choose your soft shell based on the level of exertion you will output for your intended activity. Consider the spectrum of highly aerobic (skate skiing, trail running) to stop and go (Alpine routes, fly fishing) and then make your purchase choice.
If you remember nothing more of this document, remember this one statement: A soft shell will, more often than not, allow you to stay drier longer, in a wider range of conditions, than its conventional hardshell counterparts. If you are still thinking, ''ok, but for how many minutes will my softshell keep me dry?'' then the point has been missed. So, before continuing, go back to the top of this paragraph and read it again.'
Szczególnie podoba mi się końcówka: wielu ludzi mówiąc/pisząc o softach często nie rozumie, że w żadnym wypadku te kurtki nie mają zapewniać ochrony przed deszczem i marudzą: ''ale co z tym 10% sytuacji gdy pada?'' itp itd... odpowiedź jest prosta: kurtka przeciwdeszczowa!
