I. Introduction:
Although the Jackets are extremely expensive, they are worth the money. We describe the differences between the Hardshell and the rain jacket, the various materials used to make Jackets, their advantages and disadvantages, and the issues that need to be addressed when selecting Jackets. Finally, we give advice on cleaning and maintenance of the jacket and restoration of the long-term waterproof coating (DWR).

Second, the difference between Hardshell and RainShell
The new jacket and the new rain jacket are almost waterproof. It is easy to make a fabric waterproof. The difficulty in making the jacket is how to make the clothes waterproof while also breathable, and how to make the clothes can maintain water resistance and breathability for a long time.
As the representative of the best waterproof breathable technology, Jackets use better materials and more worrying manufacturing techniques than rain jackets. Whether to buy a jacket (average price is $400) or a rain jacket (close to $150) is ultimately determined by two factors: durability and air permeability. Do you often participate in outdoor activities and frequent places where you need a more solid coat? If the answer is yes, you should pick the Jackets. Do you just need to be protected from the rain in warm climates or seasons, or must you be able to stay dry at a minimum? If you really need a breathable jacket, we recommend Jackets.
The true essence of the shower head test: See how well these Jackets work under the shower head's "dumping rain"! We are testing the location of the Jackets in Colorado in winter, it doesn't rain, but we think our simulation rain is quite good!

We believe that rain jackets are the best choice for “common donkeys,” because they provide reliable water resistance and reasonable durability. If you find that you run to the car or cafe in the rain more than when you trek in the rain on the Pacific Crest Trail or climb the mountains, a raincoat looks really good. Good rain jackets are not only suitable for long-distance walking routes, but some of our testers also took rain jackets to extend routes like Antarctica. However, on the Other hand, it is a long time (several weeks or several days) for forty explorers who often walk in high-abrasion environments, or those who are often exposed to harsh weather conditions, especially in winter. Month) In the outdoors, Jackets are the right choice. Jackets are undoubtedly high-tech equipment. They can better discharge the moisture emitted from the heat from the inside of the jacket to the outside of the jacket. They have better materials, are processed using more advanced technologies, have higher quality and more elaborate features (caps, pockets, zippers, adjustment ropes, etc.).
Third, the structure of Jackets
The Jackets we tested were three-tier structures. The three-tier structure contains:
1) The inner layer material, responsible for protecting the film and reducing friction, reducing the friction can make the clothes in the Jackets move freely;
2) The middle layer waterproof breathable film;
3) The outer fabric, made of nylon or polyester fiber, is responsible for protecting the jacket and the donkey from the outside environment.
The three-layer structure jacket is usually the heaviest, the strongest, the most expensive, and the most comfortable waterproof jacket. Structurally, the main difference between the Jackets tested here is the patented waterproof breathable film type they use. We will introduce these films in detail later.
The 2.5 layer waterproof jacket (not in our test range) consists of a fabric, a film, and a layer of internal nonwoven coating. These coats will be cheaper, but there is a difference in durability. Most 2-layer waterproof jackets consist of a layer of fabric and a waterproof coating. This type of jacket is the lightest, cheapest, and least durable. It is justified by our classification of rain jackets. All waterproof and breathable jackets are covered with a Durable Water Resistant (DWR) on the outer layer. This coating prevents the outermost fabrics from getting wet or saturated with water. Soaked fabrics will reduce air permeability.
Fourth, durable waterproof coating
Although the waterproof zipper on the Shift LT jacket performs well, it is much harder to use than the zipper used on the Arcteryx Jackets. Durable waterproof coating (DWR) is the essence.

All of our tested jackets were coated with a durable waterproof coating (DWR). This coating allows the water to collect on the outer surface of the jacket and slip off, thus keeping the outer jacket dry. When the waterproof breathable film is sandwiched between three layers of material in a sandwich to ensure that the jacket can maintain its waterproof performance in a variety of environments, you must keep the outer layer of the jacket dry for the air permeability of the jacket to work. Manufacturers essentially use a durable waterproof coating to assist the air permeability of the jacket.
However, waterproof breathable coating is a simple coating. When this coating is worn away (if the coat is used often, this time may be surprisingly short.) The fabric will be wet when it is wet. The soaking of the fabric means that the water droplets on the surface of the garment no longer accumulate and slide down. The fabric absorbs moisture and allows you to cover the outer layer of the expensive jacket. Three important things are said: Wet. (Don't worry. Thanks to the presence of waterproof membranes, the clothes are still waterproof.) Unfortunately, all DWR coatings fail due to friction, dust, body oils, and aging, affecting your comfort while dressing. Your wallet. This unavoidable failure (even if you only wear it once a month) is a shortcoming of waterproof and breathable technology. The waterproof jacket is only breathable when the fabric is dry. (The water vapor in the clothes will turn into liquid water when it passes through the waterproof film when it encounters the wet outer layer of the fabric.) This means that if the fabric is wet, a waterproof, breathable garment is not airtight. Therefore, you must often clean your Jacket and restore its DWR coating to maintain its breathability (see the end of this article for advice on cleaning the Jackets and restoring the DWR coating). We must point out that even if your clothes' DWR coating fails and the fabric is wet, your clothes are still waterproof. Because of the middle layer of your clothes' three-layer structure, the waterproof film will continue to provide protection and keep your Dry and cool. (Annotation: The editor apparently did not mention that if you are in motion, your clothes lose breathability, you will be wet by your sweat.)
Protecting the integrity of your DWR coating and clothing fabric is critical to keeping you warm and dry. When the clothes are not worn, roll them in a hat and keep them. The approach is:
1) Put your clothes flat on a clean surface, or hang your shoulders on one of your arms;
2) Fold the sleeves to the chest;
3) The two sides of the clothes are folded to the middle and folded into three layers;
4) Roll up the clothes from below and put it in the hat.
This minimizes the area of dirt and dust that comes into contact with your backpack or duffel bag, and it will be better to roll up any fabric than to squash it, because there are fewer wrinkles in the rolled up clothing.
The coating of the Arcteryx Alpha FL (left) failed after 40 days. The DWR-coated waterproof lever of the Arcteryx Alpha SV (right) was used for 3 days. After the fabric is wet (on the left), the air permeability and comfort of the garment will be reduced, but it is still waterproof.
Fourth, the material
The main conclusion of our test is: the influence of a specific waterproof and breathable technology on the Jackets is important without the design, weight, cut and function of the clothes. All the waterproof and breathable films in the market can work. Each film has invested heavily in marketing, trying to prove to you that consumers are more advanced in their technology. But the fact is that, even after months of hands-on tests day after day, we are still unable to determine which technology is better. All the evidence is hearsay and depends on the change of conditions on the test day. Even if we were to carry out a "treadmill test" and set standardized conditions for each piece of clothing, the test results still could not explain which technology was the best. Basically, the influence of these factors on the performance of Jackets, including the user's metabolism, weather conditions, product features (size, ventilation), and clothing anti-friction, oil-proof, and dust-proofing capabilities, are the same as the waterproof breathable films it uses. (or more) important. But even so, we will briefly discuss waterproof breathable technology below.
Although the entire industry currently lacks a unified water resistance test system that provides standardized test results, we can quantify water resistance through water column testing. The water column test is to add a vertical water column on the test fabric sample and record the height of the water column as a result of the water leakage. Most of the Jackets we tested had a test value of 20,000 mm. This water pressure far exceeds what we would encounter in nature. For example, the pressure from a hurricane brought about by a hurricane is about 7000 mm, and the pressure of a 30-foot (9-meter) fire hydrant jet is 11,000 mm. Therefore, all tested jackets can be said to have waterproof function.

Breathability is the ability of the fabric to allow water vapor to penetrate the fabric. It is a function of the relative humidity inside and outside the garment. (When the activity is intense, the relative humidity inside the clothes will quickly rise to near or 100%, which can be uncomfortable.) Water can pass through the fabric in two ways:
(1) Ventilation: A breathable fabric allows the air of the carrier's water vapor to pass through directly. A fabric with a large aperture or a large number of apertures (mesh) is more air-permeable than a fabric with a small or almost no aperture. However, air passes through this fabric in two directions: external cold air can be blown in, and hot air generated by the movement can run out. eVent, Dry.Q and Polartec Neoshell claim that they allow air to pass through and are therefore ventilated.
(2) Water passes through a fabric through solid diffusion: This is the principle of some non-porous fabrics that allow water to pass through the fabric. This is the working principle of GORE-TEX materials. The GORE-TEX material has very small pores, and air cannot pass through the membrane effectively through the pores. Therefore, we often say that GORE-TEX material is better than breathability. In this case, if you want the jacket to have good air permeability, the humidity inside and outside the clothes must be very large. If the humidity in the clothes is 95 and the outside is 10, you can all seem to feel the steam through the clothes. However, if the internal and external humidity is 95 (for example, in the rain), then there is no sense of breathability, although the water is still out.
PS: Because the above two methods are flawed, many donkeys like traditional ventilation design (such as underarm zipper or net fabric pocket cloth) to help eliminate the water inside the clothes.
Fifth, waterproof and breathable technology
1, GORE-TEX
WLGORE has produced 4 main waterproof breathable films for different end users:
A. The standard GORE-TEX three-layer structure film, called Performance Shell, is used for mid-range jackets, outdoor gear and shoes. We did not have this film in the clothes we tested.
B, Pro film, formerly known as Pro Shell and XCR (Extend Comfort Range), this film is 35% more breathable than Performance Shell and is the company's high-end product. This film is also Gore's best wear-to-weight ratio product. Pro is Gore's most expensive film. All Jackets that use it are three-tiered and are designed for professionals who work long-term outdoors (weeks to months), such as athletes and outdoor guides. Both the Pro and Performance Shells consist of a surface fabric, an ePTFE film, and a microfilament-lined fabric. Air can pass directly through the Pro film, while Performance Shell films with an ultra-thin PU layer do not have this feature. Many of the Jackets we tested used GORE-TEX Pro films, including Arc'teryx's Alpha FL, Beta AR, Theta AR's three Jackets, and Patagonia's Refugitive.
This photo shows the fabric of the Beta AR 40D and the GORE-TEX Pro film that has been glued inside, with some wet marks on the upper zipper area. Although Arc'teryx's Jackets were the most durable of the clothes we tested, unfortunately its DWR coating was not as durable.

The Patagonia 2015/16 Winter Refugitive Jackets use Pro Films with GORE C-Knit Technology. C-Knit is not a new film. It is a new technology that processes three layers of materials into thin films. This technique uses a new "circular knit form" (hence the name C-Knit) and listens to Gore's saying that the structure is less bulky, making the film 10% lighter and breathable. Increased by 15%. We couldn't really measure whether these figures were true, but in our treadmill test, Refugitive felt like there was no other Jackets breathable without the C-Knit GORE-TEX Pro film. However, the Refugitive is smoother, less wrinkled, and less bulky than the Archaeopteryx's Jackets without the C-Knit technique, but this Jacket also uses a lighter fabric, which also makes the above changes in the clothing, so There are many opinions about C-Knit technology...
C, PacLite film is Gore's cheapest film. It's designed for those who are outdoors, want a lighter product than Pro Shell, and don't need Pro Shell's enhanced breathability and durability. PacLite is a low-strength, 2.5-layer structural film that is slightly less breathable and durable than the Pro Shell. There is no clothing for this film in our Jackets test report, but if you are interested in this product, you can take a look at our Rain Jacket Test Report.

D, Active Shell is Gore's latest, lightest, most breathable film. It is an improved three-layer structure of PacLite designed for high-intensity short-time outdoor activities (weekend cross-country skiing, light mountain climbing, etc.). It may not be used for reloading routes for more than 3 days. Active Shell achieves lighter weight and better breathability through improved structure. The PU layer acts as an adhesive to adhere the inner liner to the film. This process flow makes it use less glue than Pro and Performance Shell. Further, the Active film is thinner than other Gore films, so it is lighter. Our treadmill test also did not quantify whether Active Shell was more breathable than Pro, but it was significantly more flexible and more supple, less prone to wrinkling, and rattled during exercise. Outdoor Research company's Axiom and Marmot's Nano AS both use GORE-TEX Active Shell film.
We especially like the Axiom because of its high protection collar, its large adjustable elastic cap, and its sporty slimming cut.

Last but not least, Gore's films have oil properties: They don't stick to body oils, and body oils often accumulate in the neck, shoulders, and hat areas of the clothes. Gore's films have the same film layers and inner liners. Jackets manufacturers can choose different fabrics. Generally speaking, the higher the D number and the more expensive the fabric that weaves. This is one of the reasons why Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket is much more expensive than other Archaeopteryx Jackets who also use Pro Film.
Waterproof breathable technology varies. GORE-TEX Performance Shell film has more than 9 billion tiny holes per square inch. These holes are 20000 times smaller than water beads but 700 times larger than water vapor particles. However, contrary to popular belief, water vapor does not pass directly through any GORE-TEX film. The thin PU layer of the Performance Shell film forces the water through the film through solid diffusion: the PU layer absorbs the water vapor flowing on the surface and then transfers it to the outer fabric in the form of water droplets, at which time the water droplets re-evaporate into water vapor. As we described earlier, this breathable process works 100%, but because the humidity inside the garment rises to 95% to allow the solid-state diffusion to work, it can be uncomfortable.
Another difference between Gore and its competitors is that it will lead the design and production of each piece of clothing that is tagged with GORE. Any company that wants to use the GORE-TEX label must use Gore-certified factories and machines. Fabric manufacturers usually also closely integrate the design and production process of clothes. All products must comply with strict standards set by Gore, usually testing standards. Let's take an example. Suppose a company plans to use GORE-TEX to make coats. Probably the process would be this: Gore sends a sample of material to the company, which designs and produces samples. Gore then approved its style. Gore will study the various components of this product such as zippers, adhesives, caps, cuff adjustments, etc. (For example, all products that use Active Shell film must be slim-fit, have fewer pockets, or use mesh-lined pockets. The less the glue, the better, and the weight must be less than 14 ounces (400 grams).) Gore will submit this garment to a strict waterproof, windproof and durability test after approval. If all the tests in this suit are passed, Gore will approve the garment to start production, but don't forget to bring Gore's trademark - each piece of clothing using GORE-TEX must be affixed with a huge one. The listing of the company's trademark. Although this system is costly and time consuming, it brings a noticeable result: there is no GORE-TEX product with poor quality. Every Gore Jacket we tested was well-designed and well-made. Even better, all GORE-TEX products come with an unconditional lifetime warranty. This clause guarantees that if you are not satisfied with the performance of any GORE-TEX product, you can return it to Gore at any time. This includes any issues related to waterproof, durable, and breathable. With the exception of Gore, none of the waterproof breathable film manufacturers offer such warranty terms.
(Annotation: I checked Gore's website, this unconditional warranty does exist, Gore called: The GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY? Promise, but need to amend two points: First, not a lifetime warranty, but in The product has a "reasonable service life" warranty, and the second is a product that is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, not waterproof, durable, and air-permeable.If the product has these quality problems, Gore, pay attention, is Gore, Instead of the manufacturer of the product you purchased, give you repairs, renewals, or refunds. Evil capitalism!!!)
Theta AR is a versatile jacket designed for use in a variety of environments. We are 100% sure that it can be used for cross-country skiing. This jacket has the longest and lowest jaw we have tested, so we love this design when skiing in a new snow environment.

2, eVent
eVent is Gore's biggest competitor. It produces breathable ePTFE membranes with a three-layer structure. This membrane should be slightly more breathable than GORE-TEX (they do not have a PU layer), but it is said to be somewhat less durable. The operating principle of eVent is called the "Direct Venting" principle. The eVent film allows the air to pass through directly. It does not require the humidity difference between the inside and outside of the garment to force the diffusion of moisture. The sweat can evaporate directly through the film. Of course, although eVent claims its film is windproof, if the air can penetrate clothes, the coat that uses eVent should not use the GORE-TEX coat with a PU liner to protect against wind. Although everything has its advantages and disadvantages, you should pay attention to one important point: eVent works in a very different way from GORE-TEX. eVent film can be used with a wide range of tear-resistant and wear-resistant fabrics. eVent was invented by BHA Group, which was acquired by General Electric in 2004. Unlike GORE-TEX, eVent is sold as an unbranded textile, and any company can purchase it without restriction. REI Shuksan II is the only Jacket that uses eVent in this test. Although Shuksan II uses a film that is said to be more breathable, it did not feel that its competitor's GORE-TEX sport was breathable when tested, although this involved many other factors.

3、Dry.Q Elite of Mountain Hardware Company
To distinguish itself from GORE-TEX, Mountain Hardware released Dry.Q, a group of breathable waterproof breathable membranes similar to eVent. There are many different versions of Dry.Q, and Dry.Q Elite is the top-end product. Mountain Hardware purchases interlayer film from eVent's owner, GE. So essentially its technology is the same as eVent, but Mountain Hardware has developed the film's fabrics and liners, as well as its film making technology, which are not the same materials and technologies used by GE when it produces eVent.
Like GORE-TEX and eVent, Dry.Q Elite can be combined with a variety of fabrics to meet the needs of different users. Mountain Hardware claimed that Dry.Q “can protect the wearer from being wetted by his own sweat in various levels of exercise.” Our testers think that Dry.Q Elite is really breathable, but it is hard to say What is the essential difference between its breathability and other films we tested. We tested the Torsun Jacket from Mountain Hardware using Dry.Q Elite film. Although Torsun demonstrated its super breathability, it is also the heaviest one of the Jackets we tested. Mountain Hardwear's material and manual lifetime warranty for the product. It is the warranty on rubberized zippers, but not necessarily the fabric itself.
Although Torsun is really waterproof, after a few months of use, we saw the worst fabric wetting. This is a big problem because if the fabric is wet like this, it cannot allow moisture to penetrate from the inside to the outside, thereby inhibiting the air permeability of the clothing.

4, Polartec NeoShell
NeoShell is a new addition to the breathable waterproof and breathable fabric family. Polartec, a company known for its excellent fleece products, uses a breathable submicron PU film to make NeoShell. NeoShell has inherent oleophobic properties rather than brushing a layer of glue on the surface like GORE-TEX. Polartec claims that NeoShell is "the first truly breathable, fully waterproof, temperature-regulating fabric" and has issued many test reports and charts to prove this. We only tested a jacket using Polartec NeoShell film, Westcomb Shift LT, and we liked this dress. Polartec claims that NeoShell is a high-performance "dynamic" fabric that allows stretching. Westcomb uses this stretched fabric on the sleeves and along both sides of the underarm zipper. This is our recognition. In the actual outdoor test, we believe that Shift LT's breathability is at least comparable to that of other clothes tested. However, when we try hard enough to exhaust ourselves, the inside of the clothes will accumulate sweat, so it is still lacking. . However, Westcomb Shift LT is the quietest, the most flexible and the most supple among these clothes, and it is very different from the rigid and wrinkled clothes.
Shift LT uses Polartec NeoShell 3-layer film with a fine inner pressure. This jacket is well-made.

5, Patagonia H2NO performance standards
The Patagonia H2NO performance standards are not those of the registered fabrics we mentioned above, but are actually a test standard for Patagonia's own clothes. The only jacket we tested was the Patagonia M10 Jacket, which used an unknown film. According to Bata's data, the H2NO performance standard includes a 20,000mm water column pressure test before formal testing (see above) and a 10,000mm water column pressure test after completing the "Killer Wash" test. Killer Wash is a way for Bata to examine all the fabrics it plans to use. They will use a specially designed washing machine to pick up these fabrics for 24 hours. They think that this can simulate the effects of clothes made for many years in a short period of time. . In our treadmill test, the M10 with three layers of H2NO film is clearly less breathable than the other films, resulting in a terrible “plastic bag effect” in which you can clearly see the water droplets that condense inside the clothes. Although it is undoubtedly waterproof, its breathability is really bad.

Sixth, pick a correct Jackets
1, clear use
The first step in determining which suit is best for you is to determine the use of the jacket. Are you a light lover or a donkey friend? If you are an alpine climber, or if your place of residence is warm and dry, your Jackets are about the same time in the bag as if they were worn, then we would suggest that you pick a Jacket from the Fast & Light category. On the other hand, if you like to wear the Jackets when you are in a ski village or town, or if you need an indestructible Jackets that you can wear for a lifetime, we recommend that you pick out the All Around Jackets.
Wherever there is snow and ice, wearing a Beta AR Jacket, our number one tester is warm and dry. There is no doubt that this jacket can be used for ice climbing, cross-country skiing, or simply to shelter you from the cold in heavy snow.

Another important consideration is the type of weather you use as a jacket. The definition of "normal" weather in the Cascades and the Rockies is completely different. If you always encounter heavy rain as you enter the mountains, as is often the case in the Cascade Mountains, then you should pick a GORE-TEX Jacket that is usually more waterproof than the breathable film. Conversely, if you live in Colorado, where it never seems to rain, or just sporadically drifting a bit or two, there is no doubt that waterproofing is not a big problem, and a jacket using breathable membranes will perform better.
At the same time, you should also consider your outdoor activities in the Jackets. Cross-country skiing is true aerobic exercise (you are moving and sweating 90% of the time), so a lightweight, breathable jacket will keep you dry. On the contrary, the environment for climbing ice is usually colder, it will sit or stand for a long time, and there may be water droplets around. In this case, a heavy GORE-TEX jacket will keep you dry and warm. Another factor that needs to be considered is weight. If you are more likely to weigh, then the lighter your clothes, the better; otherwise, make sure that you do not sacrifice too much protection against bad weather in order to reduce weight.

2, the price range
The Jackets in this test report ranged from the cheapest $250 to the most expensive $550. As you can see in daily life, although you can choose a cheap Jackets according to your needs, on the whole it is worth a price. Generally speaking, if you really need a Jackets, then it is definitely worth the money! If you do have a budget problem, it is recommended that you consider the clothing in our Raincoat Test Report. Most of the time, these clothes can meet your needs. If they are quickly broken, you can always buy a new one at any time. After all, they are much cheaper than Jackets.

3, other factors
Once you have narrowed down your options by considering your use and price range, the last thing you need to consider is the special characteristics of the jacket and its tailoring. These questions include: Is its pocket where you want it? Does the adjustment belt of the hat work properly can help you adjust the hat to block the rain? When you put on your clothes and raise your hands to the top of your head, will your sleeves fall back to your arms and will the hem of your clothes rise to your waist? and many more.
Seven, maintenance skills
The key to maintaining the breathability and wind and rain resistance of your Jackets is to keep your clothes as clean as possible. Dust and wear are the enemy of the Jackets. Both of these wear away the DWR coating and the worn apparel fabric, thereby reducing the breathability of the garment. Without a sound DWR coating, clothing fabrics absorb more moisture, become heavier and airtight.
Wash your Jackets frequently
Body fats that accumulate in the hat, collar, and shoulder areas can degrade the performance of the film. Washing machine should be used with warm water (40 degrees). Use washing powder or laundry detergent. Do not use softener. ReviveX Synthetic Fabric Cleaner, Granger's High Performance Cleaner, and Nikwax Tech Cleaner are all trusted laundry solutions. The following video shows how to clean the Jackets.
Restore DWR coating
If water drops begin to sink into the fabric instead of falling, the DWR coating on the fabric should already be worn off. Recovering the DWR coating improves breathability and comfort. Wash clothes before doing this. Spray-type or smear-type DWR recovery agents are better than DWR recovery agents added to the washing machine because these restoration agents do not affect the breathability of the clothes. Nikwax TX spray and ReviveX spray are all good choices.
