Outdoor sport

"English" is Outdoorsports, which covers a wide range of contents, ranging from general outing or hiking (tracking) to mountaineering, Rockclimbing, mountain biking (MTB) and drifting.

Gliding

(Parglinding) and so on.

Therefore, there are many kinds and styles of outdoor clothing, such as mountaineering windbreaker and suspenders, and skiing shirts with special skiing.

But according to the functions of these clothes, they can be roughly divided into three categories, that is, the three layer from inside to outside, usually called inner garment, thermal clothing and coat.

First, let's talk about the requirements of outdoor sports for clothing.

The first requirement is waterproof (rain), which is a basic requirement.

The second is windproof performance, because mountaineering, skiing or gliding are all carried out in a relatively large wind speed environment. In order to maintain body temperature, windbreak performance is very important, and there are still some sounding demanding requirements, such as breathability of clothing, all of which can make the wearing body keep the body dry and comfortable.

Besides, the wearability of clothing can not be ignored.

In order to adapt to these special and harsh requirements, outdoor sports clothing from the inside to the outside of the three layers came into being.

It is not necessary to wear these three layers of clothing on all occasions, but the three layers of clothing are combined or used alone to cope with a complex environment.

Early outdoor clothing materials are made of natural materials, but with the development of science and technology, most of the outdoor clothing now adopts advanced artificial materials, and only a few natural materials like eiderdown are preserved.

The harsh demands of outdoor sportswear on materials enable only a very small number of high-tech advanced village materials to be used in modern outdoor sportswear.

Some of the inner garments are like autumn clothes and trousers that we usually wear.

This kind of clothing is usually dressed in person, and its main function is to keep the body dry and warm.

The material of the inner garment is made of some highly water-conductive materials, such as the coolMAX of the US DuPont Co. These materials have unique quick drying properties. Some materials can dry in 10~15 minutes after washing.

After exercise, the inner layer of the clothes will accumulate a lot of sweat, so it is easy to catch cold and cause a cold. Frostbite will also be found in mountaineering or polar exploration activities, which will solve this problem to a large extent.

Thermal insulation clothing including down, chemical fiber and cotton clothing.

These clothes are usually used in winter or in relatively cold areas.

Eiderdown is still recognized as the best insulation material.

We know that feather can be kept warm because it has the characteristics of preserving air, so the thermal performance of down garments depends mainly on the two indicators of feather and down.

The amount of down and down is the proportion of Down and feathers (feather). The higher the cashmere content is, the better the thermal insulation and compression performance of clothing. As in last year's joint climbing team between China and South Korea, the "OZARK" down clothing was 85% above the OZARK.

The amount of filling is the weight of the down garment, and the amount of filling is directly related to the warmth retention performance of the garment.

Chi ran, though with the increase of cashmere and cashmere, the price of clothing will also increase. Compared with the down, the price of man-made chemical fibre cotton is much cheaper. Although the overall performance is still not comparable with that of the down, some of the properties are also not achieved by the down, such as the heat preservation ability of the water soaked, and the man-made fiber material is obviously better than the down.

There are more famous polarguard3D/HV cotton in all kinds of outdoor clothes.

There is also a kind of clothing between the thermal layer and the inner garment, which is the fleece jacket and vest.

Fleece is a general term for a class of materials, which are light in weight and good in thermal insulation. It is said that the same weight of fleece and the same weight of wool are stronger than those of the latter.

The sweat conductivity of fleece material is also very good. The drawback is that the wind resistance is poor, and it can not be directly worn in some places.

The combination of fleece jacket and windshield and rain proof coat has become a very popular way of wearing in outdoor sports.

Jacket coat is also known as a fully functional coat. It is the most important and classic part of outdoor sportswear.

Their styles are short windbreaker or waist jacket. Most of them also have hats.

The shortage of the two layers of clothing needs to be compensated by this layer, such as thermal insulation clothing, most of them have poor wear resistance, and the wind resistance of the plush jacket is not good.

This kind of clothing has many unique features in design. For example, the wearable parts of the shoulders or elbows of the clothes are all returned to the Oxford nylon fabric, and a layer of glue is pressed on the seams of the clothes to prevent the rain from soaks in, and the zippers are added under the sleeves of the clothes, so that the air can be drawn when moving.

All these designs bring great convenience to users.

What is worth mentioning is that this kind of clothing is made of some waterproof / breathable materials, as long as the material marked with waterproof/breathable is more or less waterproof and breathable.

The US W.

The GORE-TEX material produced by GORE is famous in the world and has a long history. The "OZARK" series of mountaineering windbreaker is made of POLYCRETHANE waterproof and breathable material with excellent performance.

The so-called waterproof and breathable material means that there is a layer of colloid on the inner layer of the cloth. There are many small holes between the diameter of the water molecule and the diameter of the water vapor which can discharge water vapor and the rainwater can not permeate, which solves the contradiction between water repellency and air permeability.

It is these new materials that have brought about great changes in outdoor sports. It is unthinkable that human beings can challenge the world's highest peak in winter or rainy season.

THENORTHFACE outdoor clothing in the United States enjoys a high reputation in the world. Although OZARK has a short history, its quality is excellent. Many of the THENORTHFACE clothing are produced by Levi high company, which produces OZARK clothing.

Outdoor clothing is higher in price than the general sportswear, but its function or durability is more than people's expectations. Most of them are value for money.

At present, there are more and more kinds of outdoor sports such as mountaineering and rock climbing, but many people do not realize the importance of outdoor clothing. In fact, for a mountaineer, a warm and windproof and breathable windbreaker is more important than a seat belt or an ice pick in many times.

At present, there are already some high quality outdoor clothes sold on the domestic market.
