The Evandale is a waterproof men's jacket from the Jack Wolfskin brand. It is a classic hardshell jacket, which is one of the lightest in its class. The jacket fits like a glove and has a hood. In addition, the jacket is windproof, which makes it useful in various weather conditions. The jacket is made of two-layer Texas material.
The water-repellent capacity of clothing is often described in the form of millimeters of water column. The water column says something about the amount of water pressure a substance can have per square centimeter before it starts to leak. This jacket has a water column of 10000 mm. This means that the substance leaks through when it is under pressure from 10 meters of water.
Texapore material is always waterproof, windproof and breathable. Texapore fabrics consist of a water-repellent impregnated outer fabric and a waterproof PU membrane or waterproof PU coating applied on the inside. The material on the inside is complemented by a supple inner fabric.
The Evandale is a two-layer jacket. With two-layer jackets, the membrane is connected to the outer fabric. On the inside, the membrane is protected by a loose liner. This liner is not attached to the membrane. Two-layer jackets are more flexible than three-layer jackets and are ideal for everyday use as well as for hiking with a light backpack. If you go hiking for several days with a heavy backpack you better buy a three-layer jacket.
