Waterproof Breathable Softshell Fabric

What It Is (Clear Definition)

This Waterproof Breathable Softshell Fabric is a three-layer functional composite material:

1. Face / Base Fabric: Polyester knitted fabric (70–75gsm) — soft, slightly stretchy.
2. Functional Core: TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) breathable membrane — blocks liquid water, allows vapor escape.
3. Finish: Bleached flat fabric finishing — ensures uniform texture and structural stability.

Plain English:
It keeps rain out but lets sweat vapor escape. The knit gives light stretch, making it easy to cut, sew, and laminate.

Key Specifications

What Problem Does It Solve?

• Waterproof ≠ Sweaty: Traditional rainwear blocks water but traps sweat. This fabric lets body vapor escape while keeping outside water out.
• Light ≠ Weak: At 80gsm, it feels light — but the fabric-to-membrane lamination provides good tear strength and durability.
• Easy to work with: The knit gives flexibility, so it works well with sewing, die-cutting, heat sealing — no special equipment needed.
