Backpacker, Apr2006, Vol. 34 Issue 3, p93-101, 9p, 11c; Reading Level (Lexile): 1010; (AN 20190394) 为避免着作权争议，仅节录一小段供参： 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 本段结束 buniro拙劣的中译： 有些科技的密切结合似乎是注定的。当软壳在数年前诞生时，我们为其优越的 防风透气及广泛适用於各季节的舒适范围而欢呼。但它们缺乏传统硬壳可靠的 防雨能力。所以我们想知道要过多久服装业才能将科技融合进真正防水的软壳？ 最後，我们的愿望成真了──还是一次两种选择。Torch与Xirtam在从赤阳苹果 、阿帕拉契山脉到落矶山脉，现在我们可以说它俩是第一次适用於春夏秋三季 的雨衣──我们试过透气程度足以在徒步旅行穿着好几个小时，甚至是整天！ 不会再有湿黏的雨衣或多汗的Ｔ恤，当你脱掉外套时，它应当能确保乾爽。即 使是背着背包上坡的艰苦路段，Torch与Xirtam也很少会让身体感到潮湿。 Torch在两者之中的剪裁较为合身，有较贴合的风帽、也有比较多功能，譬如 散热拉链及四个口袋──而Xirtam只有三个。它的防风性也比较好、在温和的 冬季气温下活动时也较能保暖。Xirtam则较具伸展性、较轻、较长与较凉快， 价格也显然较低。这两款外表柔软有弹性的外套泻水性良好，但不像大部分硬 壳光滑与beading的表面。 这两款外套的防水方式有点不同，限於所使用的Windstopper材质生产商戈尔 公司的合约，Mountain Hardwear没有宣称Torch能防水，但归功於熔接的接缝， Torch在功能上确实是防水的，在淋雨测试中只有风帽後面两个小小的圆孔有渗 漏。而GoLite并未否认其Fusion布料是防水的，但Xirtam是以传统在车缝处贴 胶条的方式组合的。 最後，两款外套都是多变气候下乾爽舒适徒步旅行的完美选择，而Torch的剪裁 更加适用於攀登。 -- The tense and anxious people will complain about the difficulties whereas the relaxed, happy ones will probably not even remember them.
