Gortex
This is Gore's flagship product. Its science is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and GORE-TEX is a porous film that needs to be laminated in a layer of nylon material before it can be used as a clothing fabric. Because its pores are smaller than water molecules and larger than gas, it is theoretically waterproof and breathable. Through the mesh lining of the suit, you will see the white colloidal film pressed on the nylon material. Three-layer gore-tex is a kind of double-layer material with a layer of breathable material added inside. Because the three layers of materials are tightly stuck together, the GORE-TEX film inside can't be seen.
Its advantage is that the inner layer can better ensure the GORE-TEX film is not worn, but its disadvantage is that it is heavier than the two-layer GORE-TEX and its air permeability is slightly lower. Because most GORE-TEX is laminated on nylon.
GORE-TEX PacLite
This is Gore's latest waterproof and breathable material. It is at least 15% lighter than ordinary GORE-TEX, and the compressed packaging volume is also very small. Actually, the jacket made by PacLite is very light. TNF's Ama Dablam jacket made of PacLite is only half as heavy as the traditional mountain jacket.
bone dry
The moisture-absorbing and quick-drying material independently developed by Columbia Company can not only absorb water quickly, but also effectively take away the moisture outside the fabric. Its water absorption is three times that of ordinary cotton cloth, and its volatilization speed is twice that of ordinary cotton cloth, so it can keep the wearer dry and comfortable, and is suitable for various outdoor activities. This material is mainly used to make T-shirts, shirts, casual pants and so on.
Omnidirectional stop
Omni-directional fleece is another special product of Columbia company. It is made of waterproof, windproof and breathable Omni-Tech and warm MTR wool, thus becoming windproof, warm and breathable clothing, which is very suitable for cold environment.
Omnidirectional technology
Omni-Tech is a patent of Columbia company, which has the same waterproof, windproof and breathable function as GORE-TEX material. The surface of the fabric is coated with DWR (durable water repellent) waterproof coating, so that rainwater cannot penetrate. The breathable film is pressed on the bottom of the fabric to help discharge body sweat, and the glue pressing treatment at the wiring makes it have professional functions in harsh environments. Even after 20 washes, it can still maintain 80% waterproof effect.
Dentik
DENTIK fabrics developed by domestic Dengtian Company also have excellent properties and are often used in domestic brands such as Mustag. The waterproof and breathable index is above 20000.
Kemengsi
This is a kind of polyester fiber produced by DuPont company in the United States. It has strong perspiration performance, and can quickly excrete sweat from the inner layer to keep the body dry. CoolMax dries quickly and is comfortable to wear. It is an ideal material for underwear and socks lining. Some jackets also use CoolMax as a mesh lining.
Cottura
This is a kind of high strength nylon produced by DuPont company in the United States. Taking the denier of XX as the strength standard, the higher it is, the stronger it will be. For example, 160 D is the thinnest and 330 D is stronger. 500 D has high toughness, and many good backpacks choose it as the fabric, while 1000 D Cordura is only used for the best backpacks. Not only backpacks are made of Cordura, but also many coats and pullovers are reinforced with Cordura in places where shoulders and elbows are easy to wear.
water pipe
This is a rain-proof, wind-proof and breathable material developed by Shan Hardware Company, which is mainly used in various outdoor clothes of our company, such as Ascent, Tundra Jacket, ExposureII and so on. This kind of material is called active desiccant, which is the bane of wind, rain and snow in nature.
Dry attic
This is an extremely light waterproof material introduced by Gore Company, which is mainly used to make sleeping bag jackets. The sleeping bag made of it and down is light, warm and waterproof. In recent years, this material has also been made into down jackets, which are especially popular among mountain climbers.
durable
Outlast, a kind of material, can be called human body thermostat. It can absorb, store and release the body's heat, so that our body can keep normal temperature in extreme weather. It is often used as the material of underwear and socks (Lorpen chooses this material).
Polartec
This is the material imported from muldoon Mills Company in the United States. It is by far the most popular pile product in the outdoor market. Polartec is lighter, softer and warmer than ordinary fleece shirts, and it won't fall off. It not only dries faster, but also has good expansibility. Polartec is divided into lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight. 100 series is light and suitable for making fleece pants. The 200 series is the most common, its warmth retention is better than that of 100 series, and it is not as heavy as the 300 series, so it is a generalist. The 300 series is warmer, so there is no need to go to a very cold place. There are also 200 bipolar and 300 bipolar series. This is a double fleece coat, which is thicker. Bipolar is warmer and suitable for wearing in cold areas. It is worth noting that ordinary people had better buy 200 series. You can wear a down vest if it is cold. More than 300 clothes are heavy to wear, and some are still wrapped in waste. It's too hot to wear and too cold to take off, which is not suitable for everyday wear.
