When purchasing ski clothing fabrics, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Waterproof performance:
Ensure that the fabric has a high degree of water resistance, can effectively block the penetration of snow and rain. In general, the waterproof index should be at least 5000mm or more.
You can check the waterproof parameters in the product description or consult a salesperson.
2. Air permeability:
Skiing is easy to sweat, and good air permeability allows moisture to be quickly discharged, keeping the body dry and comfortable. The permeability index should usually be above 5000g/m²/24h.
Cover the fabric with your hand for a moment to see if the moisture can come through.
3. Thermal performance:
Choose fabrics with better warmth retention to resist cold weather. Consider fabrics filled with down or synthetic thermal materials.
Understand the insulation factor of the fabric and the quality of the filling material.
4. Wear resistance:
During skiing, there may be friction with snow, branches, etc., and wear-resistant fabrics can extend the service life of ski suits.
Check the texture and thickness of the fabric, usually thick and tough fabrics more wear.
5. Windproof performance:
Strong winds can take away body heat, and windproof fabrics can effectively maintain body temperature.
The wind proof effect of the fabric can be felt by blowing test.
6. Weight and flexibility:
Heavy ski wear will increase the burden and affect athletic performance. Choose fabrics that are lightweight and do not hinder movement.
Try on and do some simple movements to feel the flexibility of the outfit.
7. Antistatic performance:
Reduce static electricity generation, avoid discomfort and dust absorption during wearing.
Ask if the fabric has been treated with antistatic electricity.
8. Fabric quality and durability:
Check whether the stitches are firm, whether the zipper is smooth, and whether there are any vulnerable parts.
Choose well-known brands and products with good reputation, usually the quality is more guaranteed.
For example, at the time of purchase, you can ask the merchant to provide the relevant test data of the fabric, or refer to the experience and evaluation of other skiers, in order to choose the ski suit fabric with excellent performance and suitable for your needs.
