 .5-Layer(2.5L) Construction: The liner is bonded, unlike 2L, but does not feature it in it's entirety. Patterned along the liner making it less bonded than 3L, which hinders its durability, harder to maintain, but incredibly light and on the same level of waterproof performance and breathability of 2L.
-Three-Layer(3L) Construction: These have a complete liner bonded in between the inner and the outer layer, usually with no coatings. 3L construction helps to distribute water vapor and also the most durable.

 As this might sound like a recent breakthrough in the fashion industry, the practice of incorporating functional clothing has been around for ages, seen in many military clothing, hiking and hunting gear, and so as athletic clothing. It's only till recently more and more people are taking interest into technical clothing, more new brand names come to the market to cater our desires, and existing brands make a shift adding functional clothing options to their catalogs.

 It’s important to maintain your shells durable water repellent coat (DWR) in order to keep it from being saturated by water which diminishes the users comfort. When your shell begins to wet out, it could be time to apply new coat of DWR. Applying DWR is simple, but first your shell needs to be prepared. Begin to clean the oil and dirt by consulting your manufacturers cleaning guide, or the basic cleaning guide above. After washing and drying, you should check again if water begins to bead, if not then begin to apply DWR.

	Body oil and dirt can begin to ground itself on the face fabric and will cause it to wet out, when instead of having water bead and roll off, it sits hindering its breathability. Before washing consult to your manufacturers for special instructions. Close all zippers and pockets, loosen any elastic and cuffs. Performance cleaners such as Grangers or Nikewax is highly recommended over detergent. Using common detergents is discouraged, but if you must only use liquid that don’t contain brighteners, whiteners, scents, or use softeners, bleach, stain removers, and when rinsing be diligent that all of the detergent is removed as it can ruin your durable water repellent.
