Outdoor Clothing Experience Of Brushed Materials

　　 Brushed material Our clothes and pants have become one of the main clothes in outdoor activities. There are many kinds of fleece clothes and pants in the market. What kind of fleece is better? What kind of fleece can meet the requirements of our daily outdoor activities? In combination with my experience in buying fleece, I would like to talk about some small experiences in this area. I hope you can criticize and correct the improper and unclear points and add them. Thank you in advance.

For outdoor activities, the purpose of designing brushed products should be keep warm . Sweating is easy to dry and the weight is light, so it should be OK to select products that meet the above three purposes; For daily use, the key to choosing fleece is to take good care of it. Wash the fleece in the washing machine casually (except for fleece with WINDSTOPPER, which has special maintenance methods, but is more convenient than wool clothing). After drying, hang it up and dry it. It also dries quickly in rain. The thermal insulation performance is very good. Although it is worse than down, it has its own advantages and is difficult to replace down. The following is a comparison of personal wearing feeling:

　　 down It is the best to keep warm, and it is less warm after wet, difficult to dry, and the weight of relative warmth is the lightest when dry.

Brushed fleece is followed by warmth preservation. Some good fleeces exceed wool (only referring to the feeling of personal wearing, not the precise numerical standard). They can be dried after being wet. The warmth preservation weight is light, and the use range is wide.

Wool is about as warm as fleece (average), and its price is about the same. It can also be wrung dry after wet, but it hurts clothes. There are few designs suitable for outdoor use. Wool of good weight is light and soft, but not so good.

The common fleeces on the market are as follows, which I roughly classify:

First, the most common kind is the fluffy one inside and outside. It is roughly the kind sold in the exclusive stores such as Binu and Zuodannu. There are four purchase channels, namely, foreign trade sales, outdoor stores, TNF and OZARK.

The standard price (100?) of Binnu, Zuodannu and other franchises is OK. It feels a little thin, sparse, and flexible. It's just usable. Players in Beijing should experience it.

Authentic foreign trade has thrown out some goods with incomplete sizes. The advantage is that you can buy some fleece pants. There are many kinds of fleece pants on the market, some of which are quite good. It depends on your eyesight. About 25 pants can buy good goods. It seems that clothes are not good, but the price is really attractive. When buying, pay attention not to be too thin, and have some flexibility. Don't weigh too heavily, and choose a lighter one with the same density. It's better to have some product introduction tags in foreign languages. If there is * * * FLEECE on it, it's the best because there are too many kinds of FLEECE. If you buy a good product, its thermal insulation performance should be between POLYSTER and POLARTEC. {page_break}

The fleece sold in the outdoor store is very good, and the price is also OK. The clerk will introduce the products to you. Now there are many products made of POLARTEC materials, but not all of them are good. Some clothes with POLARTEC are really not complimentary. The original identification method is that both sides of the material have the same appearance (single layer), but this year I saw a lot of clothes made of this material, with various shapes, such as wool rolls, small squares, and so on. The hand feel is similar to that of ordinary fleece. It is said that the heat preservation index is higher, but the personal feeling of wearing it is really better, But it is definitely not as different as the price difference. However, the price has come down this year. I have seen that POLARTEC is only 99, which is acceptable. Personally, I think the price below 150 is better. This price should be able to buy better fleece.

Finally, the fleece is sold in TNF, OZARK and other specialty stores. The general fleece is very expensive, but things are very good. OZARK four or five hundred, and TNF1000 and more are all good. There was an OZARK, which is really good, thick, soft, and dense. It is good for daily wear and outdoor activities, but it is too expensive.

The above products are not good at windproof, and can be seen through at a blow. Generally, they are worn as thermal insulation layers. Pay attention to the design when buying. Some designs will bring some convenience, such as the elastic necks on the hem and sleeves, the higher collar, and the better stretching (YKK is the best). Clothes above 50 can be passable. Personally, 100-150 can buy very good clothes. The number of pants 25 is almost the same as that of OZARK's 200, but the difference is definitely not as big as the price.

Second, in order to improve the windproof performance, some manufacturers add nylon materials on the fleece side to enhance the windproof performance, and also have a certain anti dust absorption performance (the fleece material is easy to absorb a lot of dust from the clothes on the body and the surrounding environment due to the electrostatic effect, making it dirty). However, this windproof design increases the weight, but enables the fleece to be worn outside. The better products of this kind often appear in some foreign trade goods, and some outdoor stores also have some. It's better than ordinary fleece for wind protection, but the price is also more expensive. Unfortunately, most of these products can not provide full wind resistance. Products that can achieve full wind resistance will lose almost their weight advantages. At present, outdoor players do not like this kind of product very much, and the price is indeed a little high. It is estimated that friends who ride bicycles will be more interested. For example, several DRICLIME materials of MARMOT are very light, but their wind resistance performance is not as good as his advertisement boasted. If the wind is strong, there will be a feeling of "penetration". Only one kind of improved clothes is OK, which can achieve good wind resistance; MountainHardwear has the thin CONDUIT fabric and a tear resistant fabric (I don't know what kind of material). I feel that the wind resistance is good. Several friends bought cycling clothes, which are very wind resistant and warm. The inner layer is POLARTEC, and there are two kinds of polartec100 and polartec200. Columbia, wear on both sides, wind resistance is average, the wind is estimated to be the same as those of MARMOT. It has not been tested in windy places, hehe. So this kind of fleece is very good for daily wear. Some of them are really beautiful. The weight and wind resistance are generally not good, and the slightly better ones are too expensive. Between 200-400, when climbing mountains, hanging flowers is not worth it. If the environment requires wearing a jacket, you may not choose this kind of product. If you really want to buy it, pay attention to choosing one that can be worn on both sides. Due to the high price, it is required that the workmanship and accessories should be better. Finally, you can use your mouth to blow. If you can get through it at once, you can do it yourself.

Third, sandwich windproof fleece, such as Windstopper and Windblock, maintains the advantages of fleece, improves the disadvantages of fleece, and can be windproof, warm, fast dry and light. If you are dissatisfied with the wind resistance performance of general fleece, you should not try to buy other fleece, because it may be difficult to meet your requirements, so you can simply buy the fleece of Windstopper and Windblock. Unfortunately, there are few or no real products on the market, OZARK's discount Windstop should be the best choice. As for some TNF and PATAGONIA's so-called Windstop clothes, the former's materials are real and the accessories are poor, while the latter I haven't seen in PATAGONIA's 2001 catalog. I feel that it is generally poor, inferior to the former, expensive and not worth it. In a word, Windstop, Windblock, etc. are all good things. When buying, the double-sided velvet is better than the mesh on the inside. In terms of design, there is a good point of stretching design under the armpit, a good point of wearing layer at the place where the wear is frequent, and a good point of hat at the back of the collar. There are so many materials that I won't say more.

Finally, I would like to sum up the method of fleece. A good fleece will have a little flash under the sun or appropriate light. The overall surface feels flat, like velvet, and the color should be very correct. The monochrome clothes give people a pure and pure feeling. Some clothes give people a warm feeling when they look at them. It feels soft and elastic, so it should be light. There should be no pilling after washing, and it will not become very sparse. If there is static electricity, it can be washed with softener (note that some products should follow the instructions, as if Teflon had treated them without softener). The new fleece is better than the old one for warmth retention. It is recommended that you go to the authentic store to see the good ones before you start purchasing. The reason is that you can't pick out the good ones until you see them.
