DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Softshell without TPU
Belonging to the Thick softshell category, Softshell without TPU is a membrane-free softshell material that places emphasis on outstanding breathability and comfortable wear. The 290 g/m² technical textile is an ideal choice for applications where ventilation is more important than full waterproofing.
Composition and structure
Softshell without TPU is made from a 100% polyester base material, without a TPU membrane layer. This design significantly increases the material's breathability, while retaining the elasticity and durability characteristic of softshell fabrics.
The 290 g/m² weight thick softshell material provides stable yet comfortable wear. The 150 cm width allows for economical cutting, and the design available in several colours offers wide application possibilities.
Technical properties
One of the most important characteristics of membrane-free softshell is enhanced ventilation. Extra breathability: without a TPU membrane, the material does not trap heat, providing a dry feel even during active sports or physical work.
The wind-resistant comfort textile provides adequate protection against air movement, while allowing air to flow more freely through the material. Where full waterproofing is needed, however, the TPU film laminated water-repellent fabrics are the solution. This is particularly advantageous during intense movement.
Applications
Softshell without TPU is an ideal choice for sports and outdoor activities where breathability is the primary consideration. It is suitable for cycling jerseys, running jackets, hiking trousers and mountaineering equipment, where comfort and ventilation are especially important.
For workwear use, garments can be made from it that provide comfortable wear during physical activity while offering protection against wind.
For children's clothing, it can be used for elastic and hard-wearing play trousers, waistcoats and transitional coats. It is also suitable for manufacturing accessories, such as wind-resistant baby sleep sacks, carriers and technical bags.
Material properties and advantages
One of the biggest advantages of membrane-free softshell material is the excellent sense of comfort. The well-ventilated technical material allows for continuous air exchange, remaining comfortable even during extended use.
The 290g softshell fabric by the metre provides a good balance between durability and wearability, making it an ideal choice for both an active lifestyle and everyday use. In deciding between the membrane and membrane-free versions, the softshell help page gives guidance.
