Yo es que desde pequeña uso los de paralelas y a los de línea no me acostumbré nunca, y eso que tenía un novio que estaba en un equipo de hockey patines y me intentó introducir en su mundo, pero ni por perseguirlo aprendí.
Luego en el Retiro los que hacían artístico sí llevaban de 4, pero claro, era como ballet con patines que ese nivel no lo contemplo.
....
Me he comprado una chaqueta mona para ir al monte, que me he propuesto mejorar mis pintas cuando voy de caminata, es water repellent, tengo la duda entre esto y water resistant, porque entendía que las segundas son mejores pero he consultado y no. Voy a invocar a

Copio lo que he encontrado al respecto en la web de Fjallraven:
Water Resistance
This offers the lowest level of water protection. If a garment resists water, it's usually because the fabric itself is acting as a barrier between you and a light shower. Tightly woven fabrics will offer a degree of water resistance, as it takes some time for the water to seep through the material. However, with the addition of a coating or impregnation you can make a fabric water repellent
Water Repellent
Water repellency is therefore a step up from water resistance. This means that water can't easily penetrate the material (the technical term is that it's hydrophobic). It beads on the outside instead. Let's take our G-1000 Original Eco material as an example. It's used in our new Greenland Half-Century Jacket (featured below).
The fabric is a densely woven mixture of organic cotton and recycled polyester and it offers some water resistance. Thanks to its Greenland Wax coating it also offers water repellency. However, as soon as you apply some pressure - like the skies suddenly opening and releasing a whole load of rain - water starts to seep in through the coating, the fabric and onto your skin. That's where shell materials, like our own Eco-Shell fabric, come in. They are waterproof
Waterproof
Even when you put pressure on a waterproof garment, it will still be impervious to water. The amount of pressure you can put on the garment before you start to get wet varies, and you can find out what that amount is by checking the garment's water column. Our new Greenland Eco-Shell Jacket (featured below) has a water column of 16,000mm. So if a 16 metre column of water was put onto a single point of this jacket, you'd only then start to get wet.
This is because the material is hydrophilic. A hydrophilic fabric absorbs water; it basically sucks it up and spreads it evenly across the face fabric. However, due to the structure of the fabric, and usually a combination of layers, the water, in the form of rain or snow, doesn't reach your skin.
Hydrophilic fabrics are also impregnated with a durable water repellent (DWR). But if they inherently stop water reaching your skin, why do you need a DWR? Good question!
The DWR, as the name suggests, repels water, i.e. water droplets form on the outer surface (as we stated above). And this plays an important role in breathability. When we say a jacket is "breathable", we don't actually mean it breathes. What we really mean is that it transports moisture - sweat - from the inside to the outside of the jacket. For moisture to move from the inside to the outside but not the other way around, the face fabric can't be soaked in water. As we stated above, hydrophilic fabrics on their own keep you dry from rain from the outside - as they soak it up - but they won't keep you dry from your own sweat from the inside. So it's the combination of a hydrophilic material and a DWR that makes a jacket waterproof and breathable.
Resumen:
We did say this would get a little complicated! But what you need to take away from this is:
Waterproofness is what you need to look for if you plan on wearing your gear in rainy or snowy conditions
Breathability - i.e. transporting your sweat away from your skin - usually goes hand-in-hand with waterproofness
Water repellency offers light rain resistance thanks to the impregnation
You will need to reapply the impregnation, which could be
Greenland Wax on G-1000
products or our DWR spray on Eco-Shell gear, regularly if you want to keep you gear in tip-top water-fighting mode
In short:
Eco-Shell
is for rainy days, G-1000 + Greenland Wax is for the occasional shower
Voy a llamar también a
Ohne y a
Caffeine por si quieren participar con sus equipamientos de montaña (más serios que los míos, que yo vivo en una latitud más seca).
aunque me tengo que controlar, lo que necesito ahora es una bici, ¿sabéis de algún sitio con buena relación calidad precio? Patines los tengo que buscar y no sé si me servirán (hace mil que no los uso tengo miedo de matarme) Por curiosidad, cuales creéis que son mejor en línea o de cuatro ruedas? Espero este año cumplir mi propósito de hacer deporte
pero bueno si me valen los míos ya no tendré que pensar más, y ojalá porque no me apetece gastarme un dineral en patines 
ya lo tendré que hacer con la bici.
