The waterproof, breathable performance, sun protection and UV resistance of the skin windbreaker all depend on the fabric. Why are some skin windbreakers called raincoats? The reason is that the fabric is made of ordinary chemical fiber fabrics, which are stuffy and not breathable when worn. They stick to the body when they sweat. During outdoor activities, once they encounter strong winds and rain, they will stick to the body, and It cannot dry quickly, the whole body will be wet, and it is easy to catch a cold.

Polyester fabric is stiffer, acid-resistant, and high-temperature resistant than nylon, while nylon-polyester fabric is somewhere in between the two based on the ingredient ratio.

If the measured value of UPF is greater than 30, and the UVA transmittance is less than 5%, it is marked as 30+; if the measured value of UPF is greater than 50, and the UVA transmittance is less than 5%, it is marked as 50+. The purchase of skin clothing can also be reflected by the data on the tag. Don’t miss these details.
3. Look at the color
How to choose skin clothing? When choosing “skin clothing” with sun protection function, in addition to looking at the UPF value, you can also refer to the color and tightness. For example, dark fabrics are better than light colors; in the case of the same material, tight ones are better than loose ones.
