Fabrics for outdoor sportswear

Outdoor sports require physical fitness and skill in addition to the participants themselves. It also requires outdoor clothing that can adapt to the harsh weather and complex geographical environment. In order to protect the personal safety of sportsmen.
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.
2. fabric waterproof, windproof design
Common outdoor sportswear outer fabric. Most require a certain degree of waterproof performance (such as Oxford cloth); at the same time in order to keep the body dry. Some garments in the rainproof outer fabric with mesh fabric as a lining. To separate the body from the waterproof outer layer. Away from the moisture. Secondly, the design of the fabric must have wind resistance. The wind is strong in the field. Alpine cold. Such as mountaineering, skiing or gliding and other sports are carried out in a windy environment.
3. Fabric wear resistance design
Wear resistance of clothing fabrics can not be ignored. Even for antibacterial and anti-odor and anti-staining requirements are also higher. After all, outdoor washing conditions are limited. 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.
