In May this year, an amateur mountaineering team from China successfully climbed Mount Everest, including Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu and Wang Shi from Vanke. More and more people are beginning to go out of the city, go to nature, experience outdoor life and challenge the limits. Outdoor sports such as mountaineering, rock climbing, skiing and camping are becoming popular. Chinese mountaineering association predicted that by 2008, China will rank among the five largest outdoor sports markets in the world. Scientific and technological innovation has promoted outdoor sports from professional sports to popularization, and advanced outdoor clothing and equipment have played an important role. Because outdoor sports such as mountaineering and skiing have special requirements for clothing, such as waterproof, windproof, warm, breathable, wear-resistant, etc., outdoor products manufacturers have continuously adopted various new special chemical materials when designing clothing in recent 40 years. Nowadays, some ordinary outdoor enthusiasts use mountaineering equipment and clothing much better than their predecessors who first climbed Mount Everest decades ago.
