What fabric is the sportswear coat?

1, general sportswear fabrics are: gold velvet, mercerized velvet, polyester cotton; At present, the high-tech fibers used are: nylon-nylon fabric, functional fiber, PTFE waterproof and temperature-permeable laminated fabric, Coolmax fiber, silicone resin and lycra;

2. The shortcomings of early sportswear were made of cloth, cotton and hemp. Heavy weight, great friction with the body and insufficient flexibility often inhibit athletes from creating good results in sports. At this time, people began to explore new materials, eager to find lighter, tougher, more flexible and other materials with better performance to make sportswear, so that athletes can achieve better sports results. The continuous expansion and enterprising, the appearance of high molecular polymers such as nylon fiber and artificial polyester, blew the horn of the change of clothing fabric form. Compared with tradition, nylon clothing has great advantages in weight loss, while the jacket made of nylon fiber and the lining of artificial polyester velvet have better warmth retention effect. So sportswear began to use these chemical fibers instead of natural fibers and gradually became the mainstream. Early nylon clothing still has some defects, such as poor air permeability, wear resistance, easy cracking and deformation. While improving nylon, researchers developed materials with better performance. So far, countless synthetic products have been born. In the field of sportswear, the high-tech fibers currently used are roughly as follows:

(1). The performance of polyamide nylon fabric is far superior to that of early nylon, which overcomes the shortcomings of poor air permeability and wear resistance and can quickly absorb body sweat and volatilize from its surface.

(2) Functional fiber is a new type of fiber, which is lighter and softer than traditional chemical fiber.

(3).PTFE waterproof and temperature-permeable laminated fabric This fabric can breathe like human skin, and lead excess water vapor out of the body to isolate the rain and snow. Its mystery lies in as many as 7 billion micropores per square centimeter.

(4) Coolmax fiber, a kind of fiber, is becoming a big selling point in the market. This kind of fiber has a unique flat cross section, forming a four-groove design, which can discharge sweat and volatilize faster. It is called optical fiber with advanced cooling system. It is worth mentioning that the China table tennis team won the gold medal in Sydney and wore clothes made of Coolmax fiber.

(5) Silicone is familiar to everyone, such as "Shark Skin Swimsuit", "Fast Skin" and other sportswear, whose main body is made of silicone film.

(6) Lycra is also a familiar material. Its application has long gone beyond the scope of sportswear, but it is an indispensable material in sportswear. This kind of artificial elastic fiber has tensile properties, smoothness, close contact with the body and great ductility, and is an ideal sports element. The tights and jumpsuits worn by athletes contain Lycra. It is precisely because of the adoption of Lycra that some sportswear companies put forward the concept of "energy maintenance".
