Fleece fabric analysis
2023-01-03
Fleece is characterized by warmth, windproof, light weight, with easy compression, easy care, and anti-static properties.
Because of the different ways of grouping fleece and the different materials used, there is an unusually rich variety of fleece. Outdoor fleece can be used to achieve the following functions: warmth, windproof, lightweight, quick dry, wear-resistant, extended, easy to compress, easy care, anti-static, anti-water, etc. Most of the common outdoor fleece used to achieve one or more of these functions. Here in accordance with the main function is simplified into two categories, one is warm; second is windproof. In fact, fleece is often a combination of multifunctional, just to facilitate the selection of reference, a rough classification.
No matter what kind of material the fleece, thickness is still the main basis for determining the warmth performance, in addition to the warm and cold feeling or a matter that varies from person to person, cannot be generalized. The compressibility talked about here is also just a relative comparison between the fleece material. Simply put, fleece is the process by which the fabric or inner material produces a shorter fleece.
Classification and introduction.
1.Warm fleece
Most of this type of fleece for a single material using the weave or bonding method of processing and fleece. Most of the current material is polyester, I think mainly because this material has the characteristics of fast drying it. The early use of wool, with the advancement of technology, gradually replaced by chemical fiber materials, the recent trend seems to have returned to the dynasty.
In fact, this type of fleece is very much, general leisure class also has, outdoor fabrics are countless, a wide range of patterns, both professional fabric manufacturers, but also major outdoor brands own, the choice is really troublesome. The following fabrics involved in my contact, I have not seen a lot, there is time to add.
2.windproof fleece
As the earlier fleece is not windproof, need to be used with the outer layer, to a certain extent, limiting the use of fleece. Some manufacturers through the improvement, in retaining the original performance, so that the windproof performance has been improved, while other comprehensive performance has also been greatly improved, referred to as windproof fleece is not actually accurate, but because the improvement of windproof performance is the focus, so let's call it. This type of fleece currently I see two forms, one is dense fleece; two is compound. The so-called dense fleece, is by improving the density of the fabric fleece, increase the windproof performance of the fabric, and the form of composite is indeed a lot more complex, basically a three-layer sandwich structure, through the middle of the membrane to significantly improve the windproof performance of the fabric, due to the difference between the three layers of material, the changes in this type of fabric can be imagined.
In general, the same thickness, fleece material warmth performance close to the windproof fleece, warmth performance is better than warm fleece. It should be noted that the thickness is still the main factor in determining the warmth performance, windproof fleece because of the existence of a layer of film, warmth performance is improved.
1) Dense fleece
Windproof performance is slightly better than the general fleece, but I would not use it as a windproof jacket to wear. Fleece outside, should not be worn outside alone.
2) Composite
With the progress of technology, this type of fabric is the most rapid development, and more functional, has broken through the original concept of soft shell, and has become the most widely used outdoor fabrics. Due to the different ways of compounding and materials, I have been unable to introduce this type of fabric alone, and the finished products of this type of fabric are only a very small part of this type of fabric, so I can only talk about the feelings in the introduction of the finished products later, a common point of this type of fabric is that the windproof ability is stronger, some almost close to the punching suit, but the compression ability and fabric feel is not too good.
