Vestes Softshell 2 Couches

A 2-layer softshell jacket combines a windproof and water-repellent outer layer with an inner layer typically made of a microfleece lining that provides thermal insulation. Unlike fully waterproof hardshell jackets, RAG Tailors 2-layer softshells prioritize breathability and flexibility, being waterproof up to a certain level of precipitation. The main difference lies in their construction, which prioritizes comfort during physical activity, preventing overheating. They are lighter, more elastic and generally more comfortable for prolonged use compared to fully waterproof jackets, making them ideal for activities that require constant movement in variable weather conditions.

RAG Tailors’ 2-layer softshell jackets are not 100% waterproof like hardshells, but they do offer excellent water-repellent properties. The outer layer is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish that causes water droplets to bead off the surface rather than soaking into the fabric. This feature provides adequate protection against light to moderate rain and snow, keeping the wearer dry during most outdoor activities. For prolonged, heavy precipitation, we recommend complementing with a fully waterproof outer layer. The balance between water repellency and breathability makes these jackets ideal for dynamic activities where perspiration is as much a concern as weather protection.

RAG Tailors’ 2-layer softshell jackets offer multiple advantages in a professional context. Firstly, their exceptional versatility allows them to be used in a variety of weather conditions and work environments. The combination of wind resistance, water repellency and moderate thermal insulation makes them suitable for outdoor activities throughout most of the year. The high elasticity of the fabric provides freedom of movement, which is essential for active professional roles. In addition, these jackets feature superior durability, abrasion resistance and ease of maintenance, which are crucial factors for professional clothing. Their breathability prevents overheating during intense activities, while their lightness and easy packing allow for convenient transportation. These features, combined with the possibility of personalization with embroidery or corporate printing, make them a premium choice for professional teams.

To preserve the performance and durability of your RAG Tailors 2-layer softshell jacket, we recommend machine washing at low temperatures (30°C) using a mild detergent and without fabric softener, which can deteriorate its water-repellent properties. Avoid using bleach and opt for a low spin cycle. Dry in the open air or in a tumble dryer at a low temperature, avoiding direct sunlight. Periodically, it is advisable to reapply a water-repellent treatment specific for technical fabrics, especially after several washes, when you notice that water no longer forms beads on the surface of the fabric. For localized stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Always store the jacket clean and completely dry, preferably hanging on a hanger to avoid permanent creases and to allow it to maintain its original shape.

RAG Tailors’ 2-layer softshell jackets are particularly suitable for professionals working in outdoor environments with variable weather conditions, such as maintenance, security, logistics, outdoor events, tour guides and field technicians. They are ideal for activities that require constant movement and moderate protection against wind and rain, without causing overheating. In the hotel and restaurant sector, especially on terraces and outdoor events, they provide stylish and comfortable protection. For leisure activities, they are excellent for hiking, trekking, urban cycling and travel. Their versatility makes them perfect for situations where weather conditions are unpredictable and freedom of movement is essential, offering the ideal balance between protection and comfort for professionals on the move.

The main difference between 2-layer and 3-layer softshells is their construction and purpose. RAG Tailors’ 2-layer softshells combine a windproof, water-repellent outer layer with an inner layer of microfleece lining that provides thermal insulation. They are lighter, more flexible and suitable for more intense activities in moderate conditions. 3-layer softshells incorporate a technical membrane between the outer layer and the lining, offering greater waterproofness, protection against strong winds and better performance in more severe weather conditions. However, this additional layer can slightly reduce breathability and flexibility, as well as increase weight and price. The choice between the two models depends on the weather conditions faced and the level of physical activity performed while wearing the jacket.
