Outdoor sports fabrics have many important properties besides breathability. Among them, abrasion resistance is one of the important characteristics of outdoor sports fabrics. During outdoor sports, fabrics are subject to friction, falls and other external damage, so abrasion resistance is particularly important. Fabrics with good abrasion resistance are able to maintain good appearance and performance after a long period of use, and are not prone to wear and tear, pilling or fading, thus prolonging the service life of the garment.
Another important characteristic is water resistance. Outdoor sports often need to be carried out in a wet environment, such as mountaineering, hiking, camping and other activities are likely to rainfall. Therefore, outdoor sports fabrics need to have good waterproof performance, can effectively resist the rain soaked, keep the body dry and comfortable. At the same time, waterproofness also protects the fabric from moisture erosion, reduces the growth of mold and mildew, and extends the service life of the garment.
In addition to breathability, abrasion resistance and waterproof, outdoor sports fabrics should also have lightweight and comfortable, pollution resistance, quick drying properties. Lightweight and comfortable fabrics can reduce the wearer's sense of burden, enhance comfort, suitable for long outdoor activities. Pollution-resistant fabrics can effectively prevent stains in the outdoor environment, easy to clean and maintain. Quick-drying fabrics are able to dry out quickly after being exposed to moisture, avoiding discomfort or bacterial growth caused by stagnant moisture.
In short, in addition to breathability, outdoor sports fabrics should also have abrasion resistance, waterproof, lightweight and comfortable, pollution resistance, quick-drying and other important characteristics to meet the various needs of outdoor activities, and provide the wearer with a quality outdoor experience.
