Usually we see outdoor clothing are "two-in-one" or "three-in-one" fabric structure. These fabric structures are based on a high-tech breathable and warm inner layer.
With windproof, waterproof, dirt-proof, anti-static outer layer.
Can play a good role in the protection of outdoor sportsmen.
1. Warmth and breathability design of fabrics
Outdoor sportswear use of the inner layer is mostly fleece, due to the heat of outdoor sports, sweat evaporation. Require clothing heat dissipation and good breathability. And such fabrics happen to have the advantages of easy drying, breathability and good warmth, so they are often used as winter outdoor sportswear warm material. The design of the outer fabric should also focus on breathability. This feature allows the wearer to keep the body dry and comfortable. Make clothing that is warm and lightweight.

In addition for the outdoor sports of rock climbing through the forest in the wild. Clothing fabrics must require good resistance to stretching and tearing and other properties. These performance requirements from the perspective of textile technology are very demanding.
