First, core performance indicators.

  1. Waterproof grade

      - Key parameters: the waterproof index of the fabric should reach 10,000mm H₂O or more, can withstand heavy rainfall.

      - Test standard: water column pressure for 1 hour, water seepage ≤ 3 drops is qualified.

      - Scene suitability: 5,000-10,000mm for daily commuting, ≥15,000mm for long-distance traveling or off-road.

  2. Breathability

      - Technology type:

          - Microporous membrane structure (e.g. GORE-TEX Pro): breathability ≥15,000g/m²/24h, suitable for high-intensity sports.

          - Electrostatically spun silk membrane (e.g. Pertex Shield+): lightweight, better breathability, but slightly less durable.

      - Ergonomic design: underarm zippers, breathable mesh back, hidden front chest vents need to be optimized in conjunction with riding posture.

  3. Wind protection and warmth

      - Windproof layer: 3-layer composite structure (outer wear-resistant + intermediate membrane + inner fleece) is required, with a wind resistance coefficient of ≤0.5CFM.

      - Temperature Adaptation:

          - Spring and Autumn: inner layer without fleece, with removable warm liner.

          - Winter model: embedded warm cotton, extreme cold protection.

Second, cycling special design
