Speaking of waterproof, in the outdoor world, in the extreme environment of ice and snow, wind and rain, you need a coat to protect yourself and challenge obstacles, so as to ensure that you will not be taken away by the wind and snow and breathe freely. However, the basis of all this is the strength of the fabric.
Next, Xiao Zhi will introduce this kind of fabric, which is not only waterproof, windproof and wearable, but also breathable.

Gortex fabric
GORE-TEX fabric is made by American W.L. Gore &; Associates, Inc. (Gore) exclusively invented and produced a light, thin and durable film. It has waterproof, breathable and windproof functions, breaking through the shortcoming that ordinary waterproof fabrics can't breathe, so it is known as "the cloth of the century". GORE-TEX fabrics are not only widely used in aerospace, military and medical fields, but also used by top brands in the world to make various leisure clothing series. Therefore, it is listed as one of the best 100 American products in the world by American Fortune magazine, and it is highly respected.

Characteristics of GORE-TEX fabric
Waterproof: After the body is wet by rain and snow, the body temperature is seriously lost, which makes our body feel cold. Therefore, outdoor clothing must first have waterproof function. GORE-TEX outdoor clothing is absolutely waterproof, because GORE-TEX film has an average of 9 billion holes per square inch, which is 20,000 times smaller than water droplets, which makes rainwater impermeable.
Permeability: the human body perspires constantly, and sweat gas accumulates on clothes and condenses into sweat. Wet sweat evaporates to absorb human body heat, and the body will feel cold; Therefore, we need clothes that penetrate air, so that sweat can easily evaporate and avoid water accumulation. The pores of each GORE-TEX film are 700 times larger than water vapor molecules, and the sweat of the human body easily evaporates through the film, keeping the body comfortable and dry all the time.
Windproof: Wind will lower our body temperature, so we need clothes with windproof function to keep our body temperature. The pores on the surface of GORE-TEX film are extremely small, which forms excellent windproof effect, so it can block the penetration of cold air and maintain a proper body temperature.
Durability: GORE-TEX fabric must pass rigorous tests to ensure long-term waterproof, breathable and windproof functions.
Uses: GORE-TEX fabrics are widely used, including windbreakers, casual clothes, pants, hats, gloves, shoes and so on.
Clothes made of GORE-TEX fabric are suitable for all kinds of activities, whether traveling, hiking, mountain climbing, fishing, playing golf or skiing. Wearing it at work is also very chic and comfortable.

How to clean GORE-TEX fabric
With clothes, how do we clean clothes made of GORE-TEX fabric? Don't worry, the little things with ideas will naturally give you a popular science!
1. Cleaning the coat in time can prolong the service life.
Many outdoor enthusiasts have a misunderstanding: they think that the less they wash, the longer the service life of jackets, but it is not. Not cleaning them in time will shorten their service life. When the jacket is dirty, the permeability of the surface fabric will be greatly reduced, making it uncomfortable to wear. The oil secreted by the body and hair will accumulate for a long time, which will also destroy the oil-proof layer and pressure belt of the fabric, leading to water seepage and pressure belt falling off.
2, water jacket cleaning mode and frequency
Dirt will corrode the fabric and reduce the permeability of clothes. It is recommended to clean the coat regularly. You can use an ordinary household washing machine to clean the coat. Before washing, first refer to the manufacturer's special instructions on care on the label. If you choose dry cleaning, it depends on whether the label suggests dry cleaning. As for the cleaning frequency, just like an ordinary coat, you can clean it if there is something dirty on the surface.
3. Matters needing attention in machine washing of 3.GTX jacket
Cleaning and maintenance points: Machine-washed jackets have several maintenance points: pretreating particularly dirty parts with detergent, putting them into laundry bags, not using bleach and softener, steam ironing at medium temperature or drum drying at medium temperature, which will help to restore and maintain water repellency. Ordinary washing powder and neutral laundry detergent can be used to clean GORE-TEX jackets. Ordinary washing powder will not damage the jacket, but the softener will affect the water repellent function, and some washing powder or laundry detergent contain soft ingredients, so pay attention to it when using.
Machine washable and spin-dried: One of the concerns of machine-washed jacket is whether it can be spin-dried, and it is worried that the washing machine will damage the waterproof layer and pressure belt of jacket. The spin-drying process of household washing machine will not destroy the waterproof function of GORE-TEX membrane, and the pressure belt will fall off.
Ironing and drying: dry clothes until they are half dry (at least without dripping water), and then iron them. Because the fabric is mostly chemical fiber, it is more appropriate to adjust the temperature to 100 degrees, and you can put a thin cloth on the clothes when ironing; The drying temperature is about 80 degrees. To be on the safe side, it can be set to low temperature or about 50 degrees for the first time, and the temperature can be gradually adjusted according to the effect, but generally it cannot be higher than 80 degrees.
Storage after cleaning: GORE-TEX products cannot be stored in a humid environment for a long time, which will cause mildew and corrosion to the watch cloth. It should be hung and stored in a ventilated and dry place as far as possible.
