Pioneer Camp Auditorium: Talking about the Selection of Jackets

Pioneer Mentor of the Current Phase: Field Army

Jackets, like backpacks and outdoor shoes, are essential basic equipment in outdoor sports and can provide certain protection to the body. With the decrease of outdoor sports threshold, the outdoor sports population has expanded rapidly. Many new partners entering the outdoor sports will be puzzled by the selection of Jackets. They often ask how to choose the Jackets. What kind of Jackets is the best? When I go out for a tour or hike through the ground, I don’t need a jacket and so on. Today, the military brother from the outdoor environment as an entry point, to everyone more systematic introduction to the function and characteristics of the Jackets, hoping to be able to choose to a small companion to a favorite Jackets play a reference role.


First, outdoor sports environment:

The outdoor environment is mainly composed of regions, topography and climate. The different areas of the outdoor environment are very different, even in the same season, from the Blackwater Baishan to the ends of the earth, from the Jiangnan Water Village to the Western Plateau, the terrain and temperature environment are very different. Even in the same region, because of the difference in elevation and the small environment, the phenomenon of the west side of the east sun and the snow and frost on the mountains below the mountains are often seen. I believe many of my friends often encounter such situations in outdoor sports. Then, if you carry out outdoor sports in such an environment, it is absolutely necessary to be able to withstand wind and rain.

Second, the function of Jackets:

After we understand the jacket's wearing environment, let's take a look at what functions the Jackets have. As for the name of the Jackets, there are many different opinions. Today, we will not go into the details. Personally, it is appropriate to define Jackets as a waterproof and breathable jacket.

The main function of Jackets in the outdoor environment is to play a role in windproof, waterproof, and breathable. In a variety of outdoor weather conditions and complex terrain environment, it can resist the intrusion of wind, rain, snow, and feel dry and comfortable. Therefore, a good Jackets need not only have strong waterproof and windproof performance, but also must have strong air permeability.


Third, Jackets fabrics and accessories:

1, Jackets fabric:

Jackets are made of three layers of different materials. The outer fabric exposed on the outside of the garment is adapted to the outdoor environment. In the face of the hooking and friction of thorn branches and ice rocks in the outdoor environment, strong abrasion resistance and tear resistance are required. The middle layer of the jacket is a waterproof and windproof breathable film, which is also a key layer to determine the performance of the jacket. The special film structure (micropore) enables the moisture discharged from the body to be discharged to the outside through the film, and at the same time can resist the entry of water molecules. Keep the environment between the body and the jackets dry and lasting.


The thin-film maze-like microstructure can effectively resolve the intrusion of the wind on the body. Since the layer of film is relatively fragile, it is necessary to compound a protective layer on the inner layer (protection methods such as full-composite, semi-composite, and lining), so that a unique three-layer structure of the jacket is formed.


We know the basic structure of the Jackets Fabric. Everyone will be concerned about the waterproof and breathable film in the middle layer of the fabric. Here, we recommend that you use the jacket made of GORE-TEX-R waterproof breathable fabric. The fabric is characterized by waterproof and breathable comprehensive performance is the best Jackets waterproof breathable fabric, this point has also been widely recognized by the outdoor equipment industry.


The waterproof breathable socks made of GORE-TEX-R film are also widely used in outdoor footwear products by many outdoor brands in the world. In every outdoor product using GORE-TEX-R fabric, there will be such a LOGO tag. GORE-TEX-R logo or GORE-TEX-R logo will also be embroidered on the clothes, which is a sign of GORE-TEX-R's guarantee of dry and breathable. My outdoor sports for many years is the outdoor jacket that has always been GORE-TEX-R.


2, Jackets waterproof pressure strips:

As we all know, a piece of clothing will have fabric joints after cutting and sewing, then how do joints prevent rain leakage? This requires pressing a strip of glue along the seam that completely prevents rain from leaking.


A Jacket made of a waterproof, breathable fabric and pressed with a plastic strip can be considered a truly waterproof and breathable Jacket. The previously mentioned GORE-TEX-R company in the United States provided the brand's adhesive strips and gluing equipment. At present, it is also the most excellent quality in similar products.


Fourth, Jackets models features:

In addition to waterproof breathable fabrics and seams, the Jackets are glued, and the design of the jackets must be designed according to outdoor sports and environmental characteristics to achieve the best protection and somatosensory comfort for the body.

1, type structure elements:

Jackets in the design section is mainly to see if the version is a three-dimensional cut, such as whether the shoulders and elbows and other parts of the body to meet the needs of stretching. Look at weatherproof caps, main and auxiliary zippers, side pockets and chest and shoulder pockets, underarm vents, wind skirts, inboard pockets, nylon velcro and cuffs, etc. are available, whether the settings are reasonable, and whether the operation is convenient. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the quality of accessories.


Storm cap

Should be provided with four-way adjustment (front and rear and left and right tightness adjustment), adjusting the position of the pull rope and fasteners should be based on convenient operation settings. The brim must be stiff and avoid pulling it down to block the view. In addition, the hood is also divided into two kinds of hidden and detachable, for those who have a need to wear a helmet, but also depends on whether the helmet is suitable for helmets, students please select according to actual needs.


Main auxiliary zipper

The zipper (waterproof zipper and ordinary zipper) should be exquisite workmanship, smooth pull, no stalling phenomenon. Zips and fabric seams should be straight.


The current mainstream configuration is the YKK zipper. In addition, the waterproof zipper will be completely pulled on the zipper, carefully observe the zipper waterproof film joints are smooth and dense, if there is a large gap and irregular distortion should not be optional.


The main side pockets and chest pocket main side pockets should be set reasonably. The position of the pocket opening should be slightly upwards, avoiding the position of the backpack and seatbelt belts to facilitate the taking of items during exercise. The chest pockets are not required to be set. If any, it is better to choose the opening position as far as possible from the opening of the jacket. This type of setting does not allow the strap to press against the chest strap opening.


The inside pocket of the jacket is generally made of fine mesh cloth, and a pocket zipper should be provided to prevent the objects from sliding down.


Under the armpit vents in the outdoor sports, the body will emit a lot of sweat during prolonged walking and strenuous exercise. To increase the breathability of the jackets, the jackets shall be provided with underarm zipper vents, which is currently the design used by the jackets. .


Windbreak skirts mainly play a role in preventing wind and snow pouring from the bottom of the clothes. This design is rare nowadays, and more is replaced by the combination of the hem of the jacket on both sides. Of course, this setting is more applicable in some windy and cold regions.


Nylon gluing fasteners are generally installed in the front of the jacket and the weather protection flaps and cuffs play a fixed role, with frequent adhesion, which requires the quality of the gluing to be very high, the appearance of the terry should be smooth, the velcro edge smooth, and leave a little space , so as not to hook up with external materials. Adhesive sewing should be firm. In addition, the adhesion is strong and the tack test should not be easily pulled apart.


Cuff design This is a design that is not noticed by everyone. The cuffs are generally divided into ordinary and reinforced designs. Ordinary design cuffs are generally tightened with elastic bands and nylon gluing.


Strengthen the design In addition, according to different outdoor environments, there are metal or plastic snaps and built-in hand protection sleeves.


Overall details

Jackets are worn in outdoor sports. This imposes higher requirements on the tailoring of Jackets. In order to allow the wearer to stretch his body during exercise, the shoulder, waist and elbows of the Jackets should be cut in three dimensions.


Depending on the type of sport, some of the Jackets use a super-abrasive fabric stitched over the shoulders and elbows. In addition, the seam of the Jackets should be uniform and neat, and the splicing of the fabric should also be smooth, and wrinkles should not occur.


Adhesive details


Sew details


The fleece fabric fit of the collar of the jacket is also a design that requires special attention. This arrangement does not cause the zipper to touch the neck to cause discomfort, and can also make the neck of the wearer feel more comfortable. Also, the top and bottom of the main and auxiliary zips are provided with a zipper cap mouth or a zipper cover flap, which can prevent rain and snow from entering the zipper from the upper end of the zipper to cause water leakage.


From the overall point of view, the design of Jackets should be generous and beautiful, and the color matching should be bright, which makes the outdoor environment more eye-catching and plays a certain warning role. Of course, with the continuous expansion of the concept of outdoor sports, outdoor needs to be integrated with fashion. A beautiful jacket is a landscape in the outdoors.

Fifth, the principle of Jackets selection

1, step by step principle:

Beginners involved in outdoor sports should not blindly pursue the brand, but should choose the principle of gradual selection of equipment and equipment. With the continuous accumulation of their outdoor sports experience and experience, with their own understanding of the suit's wear experience, and then according to the characteristics of their outdoor sports environment, do some upgrading and adjustment of Jackets. The military brother here wants to stress that the Jackets are worn in outdoor environments and are vulnerable equipment, not so-called armor.

2, according to the principle of choice:

Practicality is the absolute principle that the military brother has always advocated for the principle of equipment selection. Everyone knows that “the most expensive is not necessarily the best, and the most suitable is the best”. I hope that my friends will fully consider the characteristics of their outdoor sports activities when choosing the Jackets, and choose the Jackets that suit them best.

3, buy genuine principles:

The current social environment has created the “shanzhai” kingdom. Jackets are also inevitable. The outdoor equipment market, especially the online shop, is full of counterfeit jackets, making many buddies dazzled and unable to buy. The military brother here to remind everyone, do not be overshadowed by some unscrupulous brand and business propaganda, do not covet for cheap. Please go to the regular channels to buy genuine Jackets with product aftermarket, so that your consumer rights are protected accordingly.
