Quiet stretch · next-to-skin backer
Solution
3L Softshell
Three-layer bonded softshell for EU outdoor brands. Water column, MVTR, and stretch recovery as ranges — not ideal-lab singles.
Three-layer bonded softshell — face fabric, breathable membrane, and tricot backer — for technical outdoor jackets and midlayers. Water column, breathability (MVTR), and stretch recovery publish as ranges, not single ideal-lab numbers that fail the first incoming inspection.
Handfeel is quiet stretch with a next-to-skin tricot backer. Face DWR is C0 by default; bonded color programs are quoted per construction because membrane laminates do not share a one-size lab-dip calendar.
- Face: 100% polyester, DWR C0 finish
- Membrane: hydrophilic PU, 10K/10K (water column/MVTR) typical range
- Backer: polyester tricot ~75 gsm for next-to-skin comfort
- Stretch: 2-way mechanical; recovery >95% after 30 min rest
- Handfeel: quiet stretch — not noisy film hand
- Lab dip: bonded color quoted per program
