What the Pros Think
From buckyrides.com
Of course, from a technology standpoint it makes sense, Showers Pass make top shelf cycling jackets that manage water, heat and vapor. But, we know running demands and environments are very different, for one there is much less wind chill to deal with, there is also a totally different body fit and also there is less (almost none) wind speed to assist hot body vapors. So you might say this is still a difficult task, no gimmie. On a dry cold winter day, all you need to go out running is tights, gloves and one mid weight layer. When running, you heat up fast, sweat a lot and its hard to cool. Now throw in the mix some light sprinkles or rain and thats where a well designed, performing jacket comes in.
The Cloudburst jacket rolls together some key technology to actually make a running jacket thats not just a thin polyester fashion shell. BTW – most running jackets are just that a polyester shell.
3-LAYER FABRIC
3-layer fabrics consist of a waterproof membrane bonded between a face fabric and a liner fabric. In addition to being the most durable construction, 3-Layer waterproof fabrics are usually the most breathable and comfortable against the skin. The lining protects the waterproof membrane, so the membrane can be finer, with more pores that allow body heat to pass through – reducing the buildup of condensation – while blocking rain from the outside. That inner lining also wicks moisture, and lifts the waterproof membrane off the skin, reducing the “clammy” feel that is typical of lower-priced waterproof fabrics. 3-layer hardshells are usually more expensive than 2 or 2.5-Layer shells but offer a better solution for people that ride long distances in the rain or tend to overheat easily.
