One is clothing made of outdoor leisure functional fabrics, which is defined as outdoor activities when you go out of your home. This type of fabric is mainly casual fashion, exquisite workmanship, soft to the touch, and comfortable to wear. It is suitable for tourism, outdoor activities, and so on.

The other is clothing made of functional fabrics for outdoor sports. This type of fabrics are mainly mountaineering suits, ski suits, and assault suits. The style is rough and the hand feels stiff. It has very high requirements for product performance. It is suitable for use in adventure and harsh environments. People play a protective role.

Today, the editor collected some common fabric types and functions of summer sportswear, and share them with you··········

01 / Nylon

Nylon is what we often call nylon. Nylon, like most synthetic fibers, has poor water absorption and has a moisture regain of about 0.4%. When you use it as underwear, you feel stuffy and uncomfortable. You can use it as a raincoat or umbrella, but it is very suitable. This is a clever use of nylon with its non-hygroscopic properties.
Nylon is the Chinese name of polyamide fiber, and the translated name is also called "Nylon" or "Nylon". Speaking of what kind of fabric nylon is, we have to understand from its characteristics.

First, the strength and wear resistance of nylon ranks first among all fibers. This is one of the reasons why nylon is used as a raw material for mountaineering clothing and winter clothing. Clothes made of nylon are usually durable and hard to wear.
Second, nylon fabric has excellent elasticity and elastic recovery, but it is prone to deformation under a small external force, so nylon clothing is prone to wrinkles during wearing, which affects the appearance.
Third, nylon has poor ventilation and is easy to generate static electricity. Therefore, it is best not to wear underwear made of nylon to prevent harm to the human body.
Fourth, the hygroscopicity of nylon fabric is a better variety among synthetic fiber fabrics, so clothes made of nylon are more comfortable to wear than polyester garments.
Fifth, nylon has good resistance to moth and corrosion, and it is relatively easy to store.
Sixth, the heat and light resistance of nylon is not good enough, and the ironing temperature should be controlled below 140 degrees. In the process of wearing and using, you must pay attention to the relevant conditions of washing and maintenance, so as not to damage the fabric.
Seventh, nylon fabric is a light fabric, second only to polypropylene and acrylic fabrics in synthetic fiber fabrics. Therefore, it is suitable for making mountaineering clothes and winter clothing.

02 / spandex

Spandex has excellent elasticity. The strength is 2 to 3 times higher than latex yarn, the linear density is finer, and it is more resistant to chemical degradation. Spandex has good acid and alkali resistance, sweat resistance, seawater resistance, dry cleaning resistance, and abrasion resistance.

Spandex can be used in garments that can be stretched to meet comfort requirements. like:

Professional sportswear, gym clothes and exercise clothing, diving suits, swimming suits, swimming suits for competitions, basketball suits, bras and suspenders, ski pants, disco, jeans, slacks, socks, leggings, diapers, tights, belts, Underwear, jumpsuits, spandex underwear, straps for male ballet dancers, surgical protective clothing, protective clothing for logistics forces, short sleeves for cycling, wrestling vests, boating suits, underwear, performance clothing, qualitative clothing Wait. Such as: bras, furnishings, bead pillows.



03 /Polyester fiber

The biggest advantage of polyester fiber is that it has good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, and has high strength and elastic recovery ability. It is durable, anti-wrinkle, non-ironing, and non-sticky.

Polyester fiber is a synthetic fiber obtained by spinning polyester formed by polycondensation of organic dibasic acid and diol. It is commonly known as polyester, which is widely used in apparel fabrics. Polyester has excellent wrinkle resistance, elasticity and dimensional stability, good insulation properties, and a wide range of uses. It is suitable for clothing of men, women and children.

Advantages of polyester fiber
Polyester fiber has high strength and elastic recovery ability, so it is strong and durable, anti-wrinkle and non-ironing. Its light fastness is better, except that it is worse than acrylic fiber, its light fastness is better than natural fiber fabric, especially the light fastness behind the glass is very good, almost equal to acrylic fiber. In addition, the polyester fabric has good resistance to various chemicals, and the degree of damage to it by acid and alkali is not large. At the same time, it is not afraid of mold or insects.



04 / cotton

Pure cotton fabric is the home textile fabric with the highest usage rate so far. It is well-loved by everyone for its sweat-absorbent, breathable, soft, anti-sensitive, easy to clean, and not easy to fluff.
advantage:
1. Comfort: humidity balance. Pure cotton fiber can absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere, its moisture content is 8-10%, and it feels soft but not stiff when it touches the skin. If the humidity increases and the surrounding temperature is higher, all the moisture contained in the fiber will evaporate, so that the fabric will maintain a water balance and make people feel comfortable.
2. Warmth preservation: The thermal and electrical conductivity of cotton fiber is extremely low. The fiber itself is porous and highly elastic. The gaps between the fibers can accumulate a large amount of air (air is also a poor conductor of heat and electricity), and has high warmth retention.
3. Durable and resistant to processing:
(1) When the temperature is below 110 ℃, it will only cause the moisture of the fabric to evaporate, and will not damage the fiber. Washing, printing and dyeing at room temperature has no effect on the fabric, which improves the durability of the fabric.
(2) Cotton fiber is inherently resistant to alkali, and the fiber cannot be damaged by alkali, which is good for washing clothes. And dyeing, printing and other processes.
Environmental protection: Cotton fiber is natural fiber. The pure cotton fabric does not have any irritation in contact with the skin, and is beneficial and harmless to the human body.
2. Disadvantages
1. Easy to wrinkle: It is not easy to arrange after wrinkle.
2. Shrinkage: The negative effect of cotton fiber's strong moisture absorption, and the shrinkage rate of pure cotton fabric is 2% to 5%.
3. Deformation: The negative effect of the porous cotton fiber and the large gap makes the overall fabric lighter and thinner, and the clothes are easy to deform. If it is thickened, it will look cumbersome.
4. Sticky hair: The porous structure of the fiber has stronger adsorption force on the hair than other fabrics, and it is difficult to remove it completely.
5. Fear of acid: Alkali resistance must be afraid of acid. Cotton cloth in an acid environment is extremely corrosive. Sometimes a drop of vinegar accidentally gets on the clothes, which will cause fatal damage.

05 / viscose

The full name of viscose fiber is viscose fiber. It is divided into viscose filament and viscose staple fiber. Often made underwear, pajamas, T-shirts, shirts
Viscose fiber-also called rayon, ice silk, viscose filament. In recent years, a new high-end variety of viscose fiber called Tencel and bamboo fiber has appeared. Viscose fiber is a cellulose fiber produced from cotton or other natural fibers.
Advantages: Among the 12 main textile fibers, the moisture content of viscose fiber best meets the physiological requirements of human skin, and has the characteristics of smoothness, coolness, air permeability, antistatic, and colorful dyeing. Viscose has the most moisturizing properties in line with human physiological science. The moisture regain of viscose fiber best meets the requirements of human skin with moisture. It can breathe and absorb sweat when it is hot; it can moisturize when it is cold, does not generate static electricity, is soft and comfortable, and is especially in line with the physiological science of human skin.
Disadvantages: If the spinning process is not very good, the twist is insufficient, the tension is insufficient, and certain brands and specifications of viscose fibers have certain pilling.
