What about outdoor clothing? The main emphasis is waterproof, windproof, warm, and breathable. In addition, the wear resistance of these clothes is also relatively high. It is because of these special requirements of outdoor sports on clothing that outdoor product manufacturers continue to try new materials when designing clothing. Especially in the past 40 years, the use of special chemical materials has contributed to the technological revolution in outdoor sports. Some of the equipment and clothes used by our ordinary outdoor enthusiasts are much better than those used by the older people of Everest several years ago.
Let's talk about the concept of Layering.
What is layering? In general, outdoor clothing is worn in three layers. They are Wicking Layer/Base Layer, Insulation Layer, and Shell. Not all of these three layers are needed at all times. When it's cold, it adds a layer, and when it's hot, it's a layer. Before each departure, you can freely match the weather conditions at your destination.
Perspiration layer
Underwear is often easily overlooked. Many people wear underwear on weekdays when they participate in outdoor sports. In fact, I usually only wear natural fabrics. I don't even look at pure cotton. However, in outdoor sports, especially where there is a large temperature difference, cotton products are contraindicated. Cotton absorbs water, but it dries slowly. When you have sweated violently, you are likely to be frozen when you are cold. In cold areas, cotton underwear can become a killer. The outdoor underwear is like the Qiuyi Qiuku we wear, but it is generally made of materials that are relatively sweaty. In general, where you go to a place with high humidity or not too cold, CoolMax is ideal for underwear with good water wicking properties. Silk can also be used. If you go to a cold place, Thermastat's underwear is ideal. Thermastat and CoolMax are DuPont products. In addition to perspiration, hermastat has good thermal performance. Underwear does not need to tell what brand style, buy a try on two. If the effect is better, you can use it all the time.
Underwear, it can not be too large, it will affect the warmth. Of course, it is not too tight, and it will affect the freedom of movement. In China, the good-looking sports underwear wicking function is good, it is more popular.
Insulation
This layer of material is varied. Feather, wool, and a variety of man-made materials to do the fleece. Lightweight and warm, it is the most popular natural material in outdoor products. Although man-made materials are getting better and better, down feathers are temporarily not irreplaceable. Thin down jackets and down vests are good choices for insulation. However, there are drawbacks to down. When the down is damp, its thermal insulation performance is greatly reduced, and it is very slow. The warmth of wool is also good, but the sweater is poor in windproof, and it is slow to dry after being wet. In addition, wool sweaters are easily deformed and are afraid of insect bites.
Fleece has become more and more popular these years. Its warmth is very good, and it's dry faster. In addition, a good fleece shirt is lighter, can prevent a little water, and breathable. Traditional fleece windproofness is not very good. When the wind is high, it cannot be worn as a jacket. However, the latest material like WindStopper basically solves this problem. WindStopper uses a film similar to Gore-Tex. Although it is not waterproof, it has good windproof performance and is much stronger than the ordinary fleece. The drawback of fleece is that it is too bulky and it takes up a lot when loaded with two or more pieces. Major outdoor product manufacturers produce a wide variety of warm clothing, and most of them can be worn with their own factory jackets.
When you buy it, it's better to have a Cordura-like material for reinforcement on the cuffs, shoulders, and elbows. In addition, fleece clothing with poor quality is easy to lose cashmere. Look for it when trying on it. Cashmere sweater is not expensive, you can buy good quality things below 100 yuan. Most of the clothes on the label are 100% polyester or 100% polyester microfiber. If you do not trust the small vendors, go to some casual clothing stores can also buy.
coat
The material requirements for this layer are waterproof and windproof, so you will be protected regardless of wind and rain. The common types of waterproof clothing on the market today are the following:
Waterproof/Breathable, such as pressed nylon with Gore-Tex.
Waterproof/Non-Breathable (waterproof and airtight type, made of heavy nylon material with PVC coating on raincoat tents).
Water Resistant/Repellent (water-blocking, dense woven nylon fabric that only blocks a small amount of water).
Pay attention to the difference between Waterproof and Water Resistant/Repellent. Waterproof fabrics prevent water from entering when there is a certain pressure. The fabrics with the Water Resistant/Repellent function can only block a small amount of water, and when they are under heavy rain or a little water pressure, they do not work. Wearing a jacket made of waterproof and breathable materials such as Gore-Tex ensures that you can sit on or lie on a damp surface and the inside of the garment will not be wet. However, no matter what waterproof material is used, DWR treatment is also required after a period of use.
DWR is an abbreviation for Durable Water Repellent, a waterproof glue. Gore-Tex suits, after a certain period of time, are best handled by Gore's Revivex. With the appearance of Gore-Tex and other materials, waterproof and breathable is no longer a contradiction. In general, these waterproof and breathable materials are better for waterproofing, but their air permeability is general. However, these materials are better than materials that are only waterproof. If it is only waterproof and airtight, it will still be wet inside. When the weather is cold, the clothes may even be frosted.
When you buy a jacket, it's best to buy loose clothes so that you can put warm and sweaty clothes on it.
Do you have trousers, loose jeans for the average hike? If your destination weather is complicated, you'd better buy a pair of waterproof pants. It's best to buy that kind of side full zipper, so you can put on and take off at any time according to the weather.
Generally, good jackets are reinforced with wear-resistant materials in areas subject to wear. Jackets are similar in design, but good brands do better in details. In fact, those brands that are called loud are famous for sponsoring adventure activities. Their strength lies in the fact that those expeditionary athletes can provide them with direct feedback, which helps manufacturers to improve product design.
Many friends are concerned about whether or not the clothes they buy are true Gore-Tex. This question is difficult to say clearly. Even if an experienced friend helps you identify on the spot, the vast majority of people cannot tell whether it is true or not. In general, you can test the waterproofness on the spot and pay attention to see if the joints leak. Because the outer layer of new clothes has been treated with DWR waterproof glue, one of the obvious features is not water. Even if you take a few minutes under the faucet and wait for a few minutes, or even wait for a few minutes, you can even press the water with your hands. The inside will not be wet, and the outer layer of the fabric will not be wet.
Breathability can be tested by hot water. Previously, the moderator of the mountain wilderness introduced such an approach. Pour half a cup of hot water, place the side of the dress in the cup, and use a piece of glass on the outside of the clothes to see if there is water vapor. The above method just proved that the fabric of the clothes is waterproof and breathable. It's not exactly whether Gore-Tex knows it or not, but it seems that Gore-Tex is not important either. After all, waterproof and breathable performance is a point of purchase, name and brand is not.
In addition, you can also check the workmanship and supplies of clothes. Gore-Tex clothes must use Gore's designated Gore Tape Seam. Needle density also has special requirements, not too sparse or too dense. Mesh-lined black fibers should have fine holes, and all zips should use YKK's. Most of the outdoor clothing currently sold in the United States is Made in China. A Gore-Tex Jacket sells for US$200-450 in the United States. Even in the quarterly clearance, it will sell 120-250 US dollars. Its cost price will not be very high, but it must be at least 60-100 dollars. However, most of these manufacturers are producing garments at home, and there is no formal sales channel. Except for a handful of manufacturers like Ozark who have real goods to sell, the best ones that come out of the market are probably made of spare materials, and occasionally you can see some of the remaining defective products exported, but the amount of these things Very few.
The thing in Xiushui's place is that 20 out of 1000 items can be found out. It's only true that there are individual stalls. If you buy a 3,400 yuan Gore-Tex Jackets, you can be sure it is fake.
