But the heat exchange membrane depends on the number of layers worn under the outer garment. For the off-season is enough laundry. In case of colder weather, you need to wear a second layer - “fleece” of fleece or wool.

Over time, the topcoat wipes off and stops retaining water drops on the surface of the fabric. The membrane still does not allow water to pass through, but it can no longer remove all evaporation to the outside.Condensate forms, and it seems to the owner of the product that it has started to get wet.
