HUSKY OUTDOOR JACKET SAMB


Softshell jacket HUSKY OUTDOOR JACKET SAMB Aquablock Plus, double-leyared, 110 euro, from the sponsor Extreme Sport). This jacket has a very good price given its quality. It is very comfortable, made of breathable fabric and 100% waterproof. Unlike many other more expensive fellows, among other things, it is practical enough and well made. I recommend it if you can not afford Mammoth! Husky Outdoor Jacket Samb is three times cheaper than the Mammoth, but is almost as good as Mammoth! The fabric is soft and lightweight, prevents sweat, breathe well and stays dry all the time (though weeklong rain that at times was even torrential)
   
We leave for the second time down the aisle past the highest Alpine peak of Mont Blanc. The route is known as one of the most beautiful and popular trekking routes in the world. Tour of Mont Blanc has a length of 200 kilometers in a mountainous area at an altitude of 100 to 3000 meters. It takes a light, healthy and comfortable outfit. Every day walked distance is between 15 - 30 kilometers. It is good the backpack not to exceed 10 kg.

On the market there are many types of membranes. The most popular of these is Gortex Pro and for good reason. It is durable, lightweight, breathable and waterproof. Jackets with such membranes, however, cost about 600 leva. HUSKY OUTDOOR JACKET SAMB has similar qualities but cost 200 Leva.

When you wear the jacket for the first time, you are feeling its softness and you do not believe that it could stop torrential rain. Senses lie! Experience has shown that the jacket did well at constant rain for a week - this is a serious test. When you read that impermeability is 10,000 mm water column, you say "jacket will make me sweat." It's not like Gortex-and with 28,000 mm. In practice, the difference in performance is negligible and certainly not worth 400 leva price difference.

The convenience of the jacket is not like that of Mammoth, but its cut is elegant enough even capricious. The design is simple and practical. There is nothing superfluous.

After 20 days walking on the Alpine trails, a week of rain and a lot of sweat jacket was like new without any traces of use. The cut is sustained, the color and the surface of the material unchanged.

This jacket is a good competition to many known established brands. The reason for not selecting it, could be only big advertising campaigns of the venerable manufacturers. The truth is that the differences in performance did not meet the price difference. If you are not slave of famouse brands, HUSKY OUTDOOR JACKET SAMB will do the job for Trek as ours.
