An invention, without being one: with the hybrid, it is not only a question of bringing together two technologies perfectly known in the world of advertising textiles. It’s about making them coexist, to extract their greatest qualities.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TIMES
The trend is for technical but urban clothing, fitted but offering good freedom of movement. The hybrid fully respects these codes. While the down jacket provides real comfort with its quilting, the softshell, for its part, guarantees the flexibility of the garment. The stretchy characteristic of the softshell material provides a fitted look. The hybrid then becomes unifying.
ADVANCED TECHNICITY
The combination of these two technologies makes the garment unique and innovative. The down jacket part – made up of wadding panels – helps keep parts of the body that need extra heat, such as the torso or kidneys, warm. The softshell material, composed of 3 layers – a polyester (or nylon) and elastane alloy, an intermediate TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) membrane, then an inner microfleece layer – offers maximum breathability to the parts of the body that need ventilation, particularly under the arms and at the back.
PERFECT IN MID-SEASON AND IN RAINY WEATHER
The down jacket, combined with the softshell, will allow you to go out without any problem in case of changeable weather or as soon as the first cold waves appear. The surface of the garment is completely windproof. The hybrid jacket also benefits from a water-repellent treatment, which prevents water from seeping into the fabric. In spring, as in autumn, you will be sure to stay dry and warm.
A REASONABLE BUDGET
The hybrid is often wrongly associated with a high budget. However, the hybrid garment offers a good compromise, because by combining the down jacket and the softshell, the cost remains rather reasonable for such an accomplished design.
