I don't agree. It may mean "A is two times worse than B at blocking wind", but not "B is twice as good (effective) as A" at it.

But that’s not the point though. What is the _real_ difference between 98% and 99% in real world terms? How much colder will you feel? Will it dry out your skin faster? How much faster? It’s a difference against zero.

>>It’s a difference against zero.
Exactly. This is why it is accurate to say that windbreaker B is twice as effective.
