Backpacker, Apr2006, Vol. 34 Issue 3, p93-101, 9p, 11c; Reading Level (Lexile): 1010; (AN 20190394) 為避免著作權爭議，僅節錄一小段供參： GOLITE XIRTAM AND MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR TORCH Two soft shells introduce a new level of breathability to waterproof outerwear. Some marriages of technology seem preordained. When soft shells hit the scene a few years back, we hailed their superior breathability and wind resistance and broad, multiseason comfort range. But they lacked the dependable rainproofing of a traditional hard shell. So we wondered: How long would it take for apparel makers to combine technologies into a truly waterproof soft shell? Finally, our ship has come in--two ships, actually. After putting the Torch and Xirtam through their paces in weather zones from Rainier to the Appalachians to the Rockies, we can now say these are the first three-season rain jackets we've tried that are breathable enough to wear while hiking--for hours, even all day. No more clammy raincoat, no more sweaty T-shirt when you take off a jacket that's supposed to be keeping you dry. Even on long, uphill slogs under backpacks, the Xirtam and Torch barely got moist inside. Of the two, The Torch has a closer fit, more adaptable hood, and more features, including pit zips and four pockets to the Xirtam's three. It's also more windproof, and it's warm enough for activity in moderate winter temps. The Xirtam is stretchier, lighter, longer, cooler, and significantly less expensive than the Torch. The soft, stretchy exteriors of both jackets shed water well, but not like the smoother, beading surfaces of most hard shells. The jackets' waterproofing stories are slightly different. Mountain Hardwear doesn't call the Torch waterproof because of licensing arrangements with W.L. Gore, manufacturer of the Windstopper fabric used in the jacket. But thanks to its welded seams, the Torch is functionally waterproof; we showered in it and experienced leaks only through two tiny eyelets at the back of the hood. As for the Xirtam, GoLite doesn't deny that its Fusion fabric is waterproof, but this jacket is assembled with traditional stitched and taped seams. Bottom line: While the Torch is cut more for climbing, both jackets are excellent choices for dry, comfortable hiking in a wide range of climates. GoLite Xirtam $200; men's S-XL, women's XS-L; 1 lb.

Reader service #103 本段結束 buniro拙劣的中譯：有些科技的密切結合似乎是注定的。當軟殼在數年前誕生時，我們為其優越的防風透氣及廣泛適用於各季節的舒適範圍而歡呼。但它們缺乏傳統硬殼可靠的防雨能力。所以我們想知道要過多久服裝業才能將科技融合進真正防水的軟殼？最後，我們的願望成真了──還是一次兩種選擇。Torch與Xirtam在從赤陽蘋果、阿帕拉契山脈到落磯山脈，現在我們可以說它倆是第一次適用於春夏秋三季的雨衣──我們試過透氣程度足以在徒步旅行穿著好幾個小時，甚至是整天！不會再有濕黏的雨衣或多汗的Ｔ恤，當你脫掉外套時，它應當能確保乾爽。即使是背著背包上坡的艱苦路段，Torch與Xirtam也很少會讓身體感到潮濕。 Torch在兩者之中的剪裁較為合身，有較貼合的風帽、也有比較多功能，譬如散熱拉鍊及四個口袋──而Xirtam只有三個。它的防風性也比較好、在溫和的冬季氣溫下活動時也較能保暖。Xirtam則較具伸展性、較輕、較長與較涼快，價格也顯然較低。這兩款外表柔軟有彈性的外套瀉水性良好，但不像大部分硬殼光滑與beading的表面。這兩款外套的防水方式有點不同，限於所使用的Windstopper材質生產商戈爾公司的合約，Mountain Hardwear沒有宣稱Torch能防水，但歸功於熔接的接縫， Torch在功能上確實是防水的，在淋雨測試中只有風帽後面兩個小小的圓孔有滲漏。而GoLite並未否認其Fusion布料是防水的，但Xirtam是以傳統在車縫處貼膠條的方式組合的。最後，兩款外套都是多變氣候下乾爽舒適徒步旅行的完美選擇，而Torch的剪裁更加適用於攀登。 -- The tense and anxious people will complain about the difficulties whereas the relaxed, happy ones will probably not even remember them.
