The Important Properties of Ski Wear

Ski wear in the fabric requirements must have windproof, waterproof, thermal,breathable and wear-resistant properties. Windproof, waterproof, thermal performance is the basic requirements of ski jacket fabric, can protect the wearer from the damage of severe cold. As a sportswear, its moisture control performance after intense exercise is the main factor affecting the comfort of human body, so the ski jacket should also have the function of regulating body temperature and discharging sweat. Rapid advances in modern technology allow fabrics to combine the seemingly contradictory qualities of water and wind resistance with the ability of water vapor to penetrate.

We will present the details of each properties as below.

Skiing is a sport of speed and passion collision, due to the wet and slippery skiing venue, skiers are easy to fall down on the snow slope or collide with others, which will causing severe friction in the fabric, resulting the general fabric greatly shorten its service life after repeated friction. This requires ski jacket fabric with good wear resistance.

Due to the characteristics of ski sports,the ski suit splices wear-resistant fabric at the lower part of jacket sleeve, both sides of the jacket hem and the inside of the bottom ski trousers etc. easy to friction area, so that the wear resistance of easily worn parts is enhanced, greatly improve the cost performance of ski jacket and ski pants. The temperature of the ski resorts is very low and changeable, the interior of the outdoor ski jacket is usually made of bright silver mesh fabric on the upper back section. This fabric has special heat reflection function, making the back, which is prone to frequent friction in the process of exercise, feel warmer and more comfortable.

The inner cuff of ski jacket is usually made of good elasticity polyester spandex fabric, suitable for wrist activities and can perfect fit the wrist, strengthen the cuff cold resistance. The bottom of the armpit zipper is connected with ordinary elastic mesh fabric, which makes the arm movement unfettered and the mesh allows for better ventilation in the breathable window.

When skiing, you spend most of your time with snow and ice. Snow will definitely stick to your clothes during skiing, and the snow left on your clothes will melt quickly. If the ski suit is not waterproof enough, the snow water is likely to seep into the cloth, making the skier uncomfortable or causing disease.

It can be said that the windproof function of a ski suit is an important indicator to measure the warmth. When you are speeding down a hill and the wind blows past your ears, you will understand why the windproof function is so important for a ski suit.

Skiing is a relatively strenuous exercise, in the process of exercise will consume a lot of heat, at the same time will increase the amount of sweat. If the sweat is not discharged in time, it will make people's underwear wet, and it is not feel good to sweat in cold weather. Especially when the skier is sitting on a scooter, or at relatively rest situation, the sweat will form in the clothing, which will quickly freeze into ice. If you continue to stay still, you are risk to frostbite.

The founction of snowskirt is ot to prevent snow from getting in through the hem if the skier falls, so it will usually be made of waterproof fabric in case getting wet.

Skiing is a sport in which athletes speed, jump and slide on snowfield. Ski wear is divided into one-piece ski suit and split ski suit. One-piece ski suit structure is relatively simple, wearing comfortable, better at prevent snow invade effect; The split ski suit required the ski jacket have the characters like loose fit and has a belt or adjustable drawstring, and the ski pants are generally designed to be high-waisted with straps to prevent snow from entering the ski suit from the waist after sliding and falling.

Functional requirements of ski swear design: the length of sleeves should be slightly longer than the wrist after extending the arm upward, sleeves should not be stretched too tight, sleeve cuff tightness can be adjusted; The collar type is close-fitting stand collar to prevent cold air from entering; Double-layer structure for the lower opening of the ski pant, and the inner layer has a elastic opening with non-slip rubber, which can be tightly stretched on the ski boots, and can effectively prevent snow; The inside of the outer layer has wear-resistant hard lining to prevent the ski boots from bumping against each other when skiing.
