Outdoor sports have become increasingly popular in recent years, and outdoor equipment also requires corresponding equipment. As an important part of outdoor equipment, fabric performance needs more attention. There are various types of outdoor fabrics, which are classified according to different methods.

From the perspective of basic classification, outdoor fabrics can be divided into the following 5 categories:

1. Chemical synthetic fibers: This type of fabric is mainly produced using synthetic fibers as raw materials, with strong wear resistance, waterproofing, wind resistance, and other properties. At the same time, it is relatively affordable and widely used in outdoor equipment. For example, quick drying clothes, polyester fabrics, and Oderi fiber fabrics.

2. natural fiber fabrics produced with natural fiber as raw materials have good air permeability, moisture absorption and sweat wicking performance, and good comfort, but are easy to wear, wash and deform. For example, cotton, linen, silk, etc.

3. Blended fabric refers to a type of fabric that blends different fibers together to compensate for the shortcomings of a single raw material and leverage their respective advantages. Such as commonly used knitted polyester fabrics.

4. Functional fabrics Functional fabrics refer to the combination of different chemical fibers, natural fiber and metal fibers for weaving and processing to meet specific functional requirements. Such as anti-static fabrics, antibacterial fabrics, UV protective fabrics, etc.

5. Composite fabrics refer to new materials that are processed into a single layer or composite through certain processes from various different fabric materials. It has multiple functions, such as waterproofing, cold resistance, breathability, etc. Common composite fabrics include spray adhesive composite fabrics, high-temperature composite fabrics, etc.

From a functional perspective, outdoor fabric manufacturers can be further divided into the following four categories:

1. Waterproof fabric outdoor equipment needs to have waterproof performance when encountering harsh weather conditions. Waterproof fabrics mainly achieve waterproof effects through surface coating or spraying glue.

2. Sweating from breathable fabrics is a common occurrence in outdoor sports, and breathable fabrics can allow sweat to evaporate in a timely manner, maintaining body comfort.

3. Warm fabrics can effectively prevent body heat loss and maintain warmth in cold outdoor environments.

4. UV resistant fabrics need to face harsh UV radiation during outdoor activities. UV resistant fabrics can effectively resist UV rays, avoid and reduce skin damage.

In short, there are various types of outdoor fabrics, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate fabric according to the actual situation in order to achieve better results in outdoor sports.
