Softshell fabrics usually have better scratch resistance, which is due to the high-tech materials and processes used in softshell fabrics, making their fabric surfaces more abrasion and scratch resistant. Softshell fabrics are usually made of synthetic materials such as polyester fiber, nylon fiber, spandex, etc. These materials have good abrasion and scratch resistance, which can effectively protect the wearer from all kinds of scratches encountered in outdoor activities.
In addition, softshell fabrics generally undergo special processing treatments, such as coating, laminating, hydrophobic treatment, etc. These treatments can enhance the scratch resistance and abrasion resistance of the fabrics. Coating and laminating can form a protective film, which makes the fabric smoother and stronger, and at the same time has a certain degree of waterproof and windproof. Hydrophobic treatment increases the surface tension of the fabric, causing water droplets to form balls on the surface of the fabric, which reduces water penetration and also enhances the scratch resistance of the fabric.
In addition, the weave density and organization of softshell fabrics also affect their scratch resistance. Generally speaking, the higher the weaving density and the tighter the organizational structure of the fabric, the better the scratch resistance will be. Therefore, some softshell fabrics will adopt high-density plain weave or twill structure to enhance their scratch resistance and abrasion resistance.
Overall, softshell fabrics have good scratch resistance in outdoor activities and can effectively protect the wearer from the external environment. However, it is still necessary to pay attention to care and maintenance during use, avoid direct contact with sharp objects, and clean and maintain the fabric in time to prolong its service life.
