Coated fabric can effectively waterproof, wind resistance, suitable for mountaineering, hiking and other outdoor activities. At the same time, the coating fabric can be selected according to the activity needs of different thickness and hardness to meet different environmental needs.
Second, permeable film material
The moisture permeable film material is processed on the fabric to achieve the effect of waterproof and breathable. Common permeable film materials include Gore-Tex, eVent and so on. Moisture permeable film material has good permeability, can let the body excreted sweat evaporation, keep the body dry. Permeable film material and natural fiber soft and comfortable, widely used in mountaineering, hiking, camping and other activities.
Third, hardshell fabric
Storm jacket is a kind of professional outdoor cold and warm clothing, the selected material requires wind protection, warmth, moisture and other functions. Common hardshell fabrics are wool, nylon, polyester and so on. Wool fabrics have good thermal properties, nylon and polyester materials have better wind resistance, and moisture permeable film materials can provide better air permeability. The choice of hardshell fabric should be determined according to the climate and activity intensity to ensure that the body is comfortable and warm during outdoor activities.
Four, fast drying fabric
Fast drying fabric is a fabric that can quickly absorb and eliminate body sweat, common polyester, nylon and so on. Fast drying fabric has excellent moisture absorption speed and drying performance, which can keep the body dry in outdoor activities and prevent discomfort caused by excessive body temperature. Quick-drying fabrics can also quickly remove moisture, avoiding discomfort and health problems caused by wet and cold environments. Suitable for running, fitness, hiking and other high-intensity outdoor activities.
Fifth, anti-UV fabric
Anti-uv fabric is a kind of fabric that can effectively isolate ultraviolet light, common UPF (ultraviolet protection factor), SPF (sun protection factor) and so on.

In outdoor activities, the human body is often in the sun, choosing clothing with anti-UV fabrics can provide good protection for the body and reduce the harm of ultraviolet light to health.
