The truth about waterproof jackets – BikeRadar Podcast
In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Ashley Quinlan and Simon von Bromley ponder how the marketing around waterproof clothing is misleading.
The pair discuss how some premium brands use marketing to make us believe their waterproof jackets, trousers or capes can keep rain out while simultaneously remaining breathable, when that isn’t the case.
Delving deep into the performance of these technical fabrics, the conversation sheds light on how we’ve changed our outlook to testing waterproof clothing and shares top tips on remaining dry and comfortable on wet days.
We also spoke to three experts earlier this year about why ‘breathable waterproof’ clothing is a myth, so be sure to check out that article.
