Functional fabrics provide us with necessary safety protection to prevent us from being damaged. After we solve the safety problem, we should consider the comfort of wearing functional fabrics. First of all, from the perspective of breathability, breathability is a feature we often say, so what is the concept of breathability?

Water repellency: a functional treatment to prevent water infiltration. Nowadays, water repellency treatment often uses water blocking film to block the penetration of water molecules, but the film itself is too fragile, so it needs to rely on the coordination of surface cloth, film and interior to achieve the water repellency function. The water resistance capacity is expressed by the water pressure resistance value, that is, the constant rising water pressure is blocked by the water resistance cloth with a fixed area. When the third drop of water seeps from the surface, the water resistance value of the cloth is the water resistance value. Generally, the basic water resistance capacity can be reached if the water resistance exceeds 1000mm.

Breathable: It refers to the function provided by indirect breathable and water-repellent film, not to mention breathable, because it is two different breathable mechanisms, although it can finally let sweat through the fabric to the outside. Breathing requires that the sweat gas be absorbed by the hydrophilic non-porous membrane to become sweat molecules inside and move to the outside of the membrane in the way of micro-brown leisure, affected by the humidity pressure difference between the inside and outside of the work clothes, and then converted into gas to be discharged through the surface cloth, so it is called indirect ventilation.

After a detailed explanation of air permeability and air permeability, we also know more about these two characteristics. So since air permeability and air permeability still have good wind resistance function? Next, we will continue to explain what is the wind resistance performance of the fabric.

Wind resistance: As a kind of fabric, fabric will definitely be ventilated as long as it is woven, but the strength of ventilation is different. The tighter the fabric is woven, the stronger the wind resistance is. Those with poor air permeability generally have strong wind resistance. High quality fabric is the perfect combination of breathability and wind resistance. In view of this, technology has achieved not only superior wind resistance, but also high fabric quality and breathability, bringing a higher experience for our protective clothing wearing comfort.
