After Replica Corum 02120.102011 Bubble Automatic Watch testing this jacket on a dozen training runs

By Stephen RegenoldSugoi calls its new Majik shell an elite waterproof jacket that offers amazing breathability and detailing. The detailing, I can agree with, and the shell is indeed waterproof. But amazing breathability? Thats an exaggeration that verges on fib. After Replica Corum 02120.102011 Bubble Automatic Watch testing this jacket on a dozen training runs last month, I have hung it up in my closet and put it away. No other running shell I have tested keeps so much moisture inside, routing droplets of sweat along its smooth inner fabric to actually pool in the sleeves after 20 minutes on a run.

Indeed, at home after a 45-minute run I could pour accumulated moisture out of the sleeve, my sweat pooling in the drooping fabric under my forearms. It sloshed there with each stride and movement of my arm, and when I pointed a hand toward the Replica Corum 80040.111110 Heart Watch ground droplets trickled out and splashed on the sidewalk.In the chest pocket, a hand-size compartment with a waterproof zip, moisture accumulated enough to soak a stashed fleece hat.New this fall, the Majik () comes in a mens and women’s model and costs $170. It is marketed as the result of Sugoi’s quest for truly waterproof laminate protection for aerobic activities.

The conundrum of creating a waterproof shell that breathes enough for aerobic activity is one of the great unsolved mysteries of the outdoors world. Say Replica Corum 02120.015001 Bubble Automatic Watch you want to run in the rain. You need a shell to keep you dry. But your body pumps out sweat, creating its own weather system inside the shell fabric.No fabric technology I know of -- not Gore-Tex, not eVent, and especially not the polyurethane-based Sugoi fabric -- can wick sweat or transfer moisture fast enough to compete with a body in aerobic motion. Get your heart rate above 140 and stride like that for 20 minutes through the rain.
