When buying clothes, you can look at the tag or the appropriate hem. Generally, there are two signs.
It should be noted that all technological fabrics contain a certain proportion of chemical fiber, and cotton fabrics cannot be functional.
Let's talk about Nike F.I.T, where F = functionality, I = innovation, and T = technology. Together, Nike functionality I = innovative technology.
Mainly divided into the following four types.
Dri-F.I.T (patented fabric for rapid perspiration): uses siphon principle to quickly absorb sweat to the surface of fabric, promote its rapid evaporation, and ensure dry body.
Clima-F.I.T (patented waterproof fabric): superfine polyester fiber, high water repellency, weatherproof and good air permeability.
Thermal-F.I.T (patented warm-keeping fabric): Double-sided superfine brushed polyester fiber fabric, which achieves the best warm-keeping effect with the smallest volume.
Storm-F.I.T (patented fabric for resisting snowstorm): suitable for outdoor activities in extreme weather, GORE-TEX coating, completely wind-proof and snow-proof, and excellent air permeability.
Dri-F.I.T. and Clima-F.I.T. are commonly used in basketball clothes, while Dri-F.I.T. fabrics are used in all kinds of non-cotton T-shirts, while Clima-F.I.T fabrics are generally used in jackets and down jackets of Flight, Force and other series.
Nike Sphere, the name comes from the word "atmosphere". Identifying Nike Sphere is actually very simple. As long as you see the protrusions on the inside of the fabric, you can be sure that it is a sphere.
Similarly, there are four types of Nike Sphere.
Nike qiuku
Nike ball dry
Nike ball fever
Nike Sphere Pro
The function of air drying is to quickly dry and sweat. The difference is that Cool adopts a mesh structure, which is cooler and more breathable, and of course it is more "light-permeable". The thermal sensation is still warm, and Pro has the thermal sensation of waterproof outer layer. Generally speaking, Shpere can be understood as an enhanced version of Nike F.I.T, which forms an air layer between the fabric and the skin through protrusions, thus achieving the function of regulating the temperature.
At present, only Nike Sphere Cool and Dry are widely used, which are mainly used for high-end competition vests and shorts. The other two kinds of ACG products are mainly used in high-end products, which are rarely seen at ordinary times.
In addition to Nike F.I.T and Nike Sphere, Nike has more NB Sphere React and Sphere Macro React, which are fish scales worn by Federer and Nadal respectively. These two technologies have not been used in basketball suits, and they are expensive. The price of a T-shirt is around 500 yuan, so I won't introduce it here.
Everyone should try to choose Dri-F.I.T when buying basketball clothes. The breathable and sweat-wicking effect of this fabric is far from that of cotton, and the price is basically the lowest end of Nike. Of course, if you have enough money, Sphere Dry's vest and shorts are the best choice, but the price around 300 yuan is not acceptable to everyone. In the cold winter, a long-sleeved shirt of Thermal F.I.T or Sphere Thermal and a down jacket of Clima F.I.T are enough to help you resist the weather of MINUS ten degrees, which is much lighter than wearing two or three sweaters and a big cotton-padded jacket.
But unfortunately, Kobe, LBJ, Jordan and other star series products rarely use the above technology. You can't have your cake and eat it. It is everyone's choice whether to spend money on idols or comfort.
