Adding a waterproof layer to the warm and windproof fabric is a transitional garment between fleece and jacket, which is suitable for spring and summer communication and autumn and winter communication. Soft shell coat, light weight and easy to carry. Of course, soft shells are softer than hard shells, and wind is equivalent to hard shells. Waterproof is worse than hard shell. The weight is much lighter than the hard shell. If you choose a soft shell in your daily environment, consider the hard shell in the unknown environment first.
Second, how to clean the soft shell coat
1, selection of cleaning solution
Try not to use washing powder or alkaline lotion when cleaning the coat, because the material of the coat is slightly different from other clothes, so try to use neutral lotion to avoid affecting the color and windproof function of the clothes. If you can't judge the emulsion well, you can use shower gel and the like instead. Simply put, these are also neutral.
2. Soaking time should not be too long, otherwise it will easily destroy the color of clothes.
First put the clothes in warm water with washing liquid, soak them for 5 minutes, then rub them for a few minutes, and then rub the sleeves and collars.
3. Wash by hand as much as possible
Because the fabric of the soft shell jacket is composite or bonded, excessive tearing or strong water pressure of the washing machine may lead to basic separation and irreversible damage to the fabric.
4, small dirt wipe
If some small dirt can be wiped with a towel dipped in soapy water, the soft shell coat often needs to be washed after a long time. The bottom of the dirty cloth of the soft shell coat is made of chemical fiber, which is easy to remove stains. Soak in neutral washing powder for about 20 minutes, and clean the dirty place with sponge (it is not recommended to brush the soft shell to avoid roughening the surface fibers). After cleaning, you can dry it directly with a hanger.
Third, pay attention to buying.
1, each soft shell jacket should be completely waterproof, and all joints should use hot-pressed adhesive strips to prevent water leakage at the eye of the needle. Look carefully at the inside of the clothes to see if rubber strip is flat and blistered. This is very important for the waterproof performance of clothing.
2. At present, many charge suits add a little glue to the joint of two or more rubber strips to prevent the rubber strip head from warping after being used for a long time. This process is mostly used for high-grade three-layer rubber underwear.
3. The main zipper of the Emergency Unit is either waterproof zipper or the front flap to prevent rainwater from infiltrating. If it is an ordinary zipper with a placket, pay attention to whether there is a back hem at the placket. This design allows rain to flow down the back hem without penetrating into the zipper.
4. Whether the hat can shield the wind and rain well and whether the head can move freely after wearing it. If it is used for ice climbing, snow mountain and other activities, we should also consider the activities after wearing a helmet.
5. Whether the tightening method of the cuff of the soft shell jacket is appropriate is related to the activity of wearing thick gloves in rainy and snowy weather.
6. Is there a windbreak skirt at the hem or waist of the soft shell coat? If there is no windbreak skirt, is there a rope to tighten the clothes to prevent Melissa Zhou from pouring into the body from the hem in bad environment?
