Outdoor clothes focus on functional fabrics first style second

For outdoor sports equipment, the waterproof, windproof and easy-drying of the fabric is more important than the style. Buyers should know fabrics before choosing travel equipment.

When it comes to serious outdoor clothing, the girls are far less familiar with Nike or Adidas. In fact, for the real outdoor veteran, the key to outdoor clothing and shoes is functional and high-tech quality. They pay attention to the classic products of the old brand, relish every quarter's updated technology, or functional detail design. Well, it's all secondary.

In fact, there is not much difference in style between outdoor clothing and shoes. The main function is all, but for girls, the temptation of style and design cannot be ignored.

Korean brands TrekSta and Lafuma in France are more concerned with fashion design, so they are particularly suitable for fashion girls. Of course, this season's hot red in autumn and winter, many girls like to choose red outdoor clothing. In fact, this is in line with the trend. Because it is generally recommended that outdoor clothing such as jackets should be mainly bright colors because it is more eye-catching and safer in the wild.

Of course, the detailed design of outdoor clothing is also the key. For example, whether wearable parts such as shoulders or elbows are covered with wear-resistant oxford nylon, a layer of glue is applied to the seams of the clothes to prevent rain from entering, and a zipper is added under the sleeves of the clothes during exercise. Can open breathable. All of these designs are truly considerate, and it's meticulous and Hermes hand stitching, TOD'S comfortable peas soles are unequivocal.

Travel wear is best light and colorful. It is easier to find when in distress.

Advanced hiking shoes look like ordinary shoes, but the ergonomic design of the soles protects the ankles.

The waterproof features of high-tech fabrics are prominent, so the same style, the use of high-tech fabrics more expensive clothing.

Fabric Analysis

The function and popularity of the fabric directly determine the reputation of the clothing, because as an outdoor weapon, the fabric's windproof, breathable, easy perspiration, light, soft, dry and warmth is the key to outdoor enthusiasts choosing clothing. Therefore, in addition to focusing on the brand of outdoor clothing, some people have to carefully examine the brand of fabrics used.

Gore-Tex super waterproof breathable

The myth of outdoor enthusiasts, many people only see the "Gore-Tex" mark, do not care about the product brand, just dump it. It is a porous film, pressed into a layer of nylon material as a clothing fabric, with a waterproof breathable function. There are three layers and two layers, the former adds a layer of breathable material in the double layer material, Gore-Tex film is not easy to wear, but the double Gore-Tex is heavy, and the breathability is slightly weaker.

CoolMax's powerful sweat function

A kind of polyester fiber produced by DuPont, USA, which has strong perspiration performance, can quickly drain sweat from the inner layer to the outside and is very comfortable. It is suitable for underwear and socks.

Down selection 700fillpower or more

For outdoor sportsmen, down jackets and down sleeping bags are important weapons for the cold regions. The level of down is very important, in general 700fillpower (power is the degree of loftiness, the higher the better.

500 and 550power are relatively low in fleece, so they have low bulkiness. 700 fill power goose down is fine, 800-830 is the best. ) The above is good, a good down sleeping bag or down jacket can be used for 10-20 years.

Outlast Regulates body temperature

Known as a human thermoregulator, it absorbs, stores, and releases body heat, allowing our body to maintain normal body temperature in extreme weather, and is often used as a material for underwear and socks.

Polartec is warm and easy to dry

Polartec is lighter, softer, warmer than regular fleece shirts and does not lose cashmere.

It also does a lot faster and it has good scalability. Polartec is divided into lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight. The 300 series is warmer and suitable for the alpine zone, but it is rather heavy.

With the arrival of the fall holiday, many people plan to go out and play. However, with the popularity of Tibet and polar tours, many fashion girls are no longer satisfied with the Saipan sunbathing, or go shopping in Paris, they prefer to go Try adventure and limit. However, for them, the most unfamiliar is probably outdoor clothing. Even the girls who know the most about fashion are the outdoors.

Fleece jacket plus rain jacket classic

Luo Meiyue, Hong Kong Senior Outdoor Sports Designer and Fan

Reporter (hereinafter referred to as “Note”): What is the difference between outdoor clothing and ordinary sportswear?

Luo Meiyue (hereinafter referred to as "Luo"): Outdoor clothing is a clothing designed specifically for outdoor sports. It is more professional than ordinary sports and leisure wear. For example, mountaineering has specialized mountaineering windbreaker and bib, and skis have one-piece ski wear. . Therefore, outdoor clothing has many strict functional requirements. First, it is waterproof (rain), which is a very basic requirement; followed by wind resistance, because activities such as mountaineering, skiing, or gliding are all at higher wind speeds. In the environment, in order to maintain body temperature, windproof performance is very important; in addition there is breathability, to ensure the body dry and comfortable, as well as wear resistance.

Note: It seems that outdoor clothing is divided into several layers, not a single one.

Luo: Outdoor clothing is generally divided into three categories: inner clothing, warm clothing, and jacket clothing. It can be used in combination or alone to deal with various complex environments. The inner layer of clothing is worn, the main function is to keep the body dry, generally made of quick-drying materials, otherwise the inner layer of clothing will accumulate a lot of sweat after exercise, it is easy to catch cold and cause colds, in mountain climbing or polar expedition activities It will also cause frostbite. The second layer is the inner liner, which is usually a jacket and vest made of fleece material. It has good insulation and sweat conductivity. The third layer is insulation clothing, including down, chemical fiber cotton clothing, generally used in winter or relatively cold areas.

Remember: Is it better to choose natural or high-tech materials?

Luo: At present, most outdoor garments use advanced artificial materials. Many fabrics are actually high-tech competitions. However, natural materials such as feathers have irreplaceable advantages and are still the preferred choice for thermal insulation.

Reporter: So many kinds of outdoor clothing, for rookie outdoor tourism, can be some dazzling, there is no easiest way to match?

Luo: In general, ordinary outdoor sports choose fleece jacket with wind and rain jacket is the most classic match, the jacket is usually a short trench coat or waist jacket style, when selected, pay attention to whether the fabric is marked with waterproof (waterproof) or breathable.
