How does the fabric of the BLACKJACKET™ focusing cloth perform in adverse conditions?
The fabric of the BLACKJACKET™ has been tested in conditions ranging from minus 30 degrees to over 100 degrees. Both the ORIGINAL’s coated nylon and the HYBRID’s waterproof/breathable perform well, with only minor stiffening (not really even worth mentioning) of the coated nylon fabric in the coldest conditions. Both styles shed water beautifully. In areas of high heat and humidity, users prefer the breathable fabric of the HYBRID. It should be noted that the very first BLACKJACKET™ ever constructed (my very own!) is still in use after over six years with no visible signs of wear.
