I had not come across this before but having read quite a few pieces within it i thought it was put together rather well and the reviews were excellent.
It must have quite a widespread audience because it covers Mountain Biking, Skiing as well as Hiking and all the ancillary components thereof.
Anyway just as a taster for any other outdoors people who may be interested. I will let you make your own mind up with this piece Here.
(Outerware 101 is also interesting and worth looking at.)
And if you like it you may wish to explore it more. It certainly gave me something to think about because it is quite hard to keep up with all the new fabrics and coatings from so many manufacturers. Or if not, then there is nothing lost except a bit of time.
Just thought i would share the info.
Interesting stuff, Alan. If these new materials become the norm for outer layers, it will probably also have an impact on the layers we wear underneath.
ReplyDeleteIt does bear out some of the experiences people have had when trying to find a waterproof and breathable solution that copes with steep uphills on a warm, wet day.
I'm glad that you found it interesting. I found what I read quite enlightening and written in easy to understand language rather than scientific gobbledygook.
