What are the three layers of the “three-layer dressing method” for outdoor use?
Detailed introduction:
First layer: sweat-wicking layer
Clothing type: quick-drying T-shirt, sweat-wicking underwear
Main reference: warmth, sweat absorption
Auxiliary reference: quick-drying, lightweight
After a lot of exercise, the human body will produce a lot of sweat. , at this time it needs to be exported through the underwear layer to keep the body skin dry.
Quick-drying T-shirt: mostly used in summer, relatively loose and not close-fitting.
Sweat-wicking underwear: Most are designed to be tight-fitting and close to the skin as much as possible to better absorb sweat and discharge it from the body.
Second layer: Thermal layer
Clothing type: fleece/polar fleece, light rib down jacket
Main reference: light weight, warm , quick-drying, breathable
Auxiliary reference: waterproof, sun protection
The thermal layer usually has good breathability and moisture removal, forming an air layer inside the clothes to isolate the outside cold Air and the effect of maintaining body temperature.
Fleece: The biggest advantage of fleece is its breathability, which allows the moisture generated during exercise to be quickly discharged. The disadvantages of fleece are that it has the worst thermal insulation under the same weight, has no compressibility, and is inconvenient to carry.
Down: It has excellent thermal insulation effect. It is the lightest and most convenient thermal insulation material. It can be compressed extremely small. The disadvantage is that when exposed to water, the thermal insulation effect will basically be completely lost, so it is not recommended to be used in humid or rainy environments. In addition, the breathability of down is weak. In the case of strenuous exercise, the heat generated by the body along with water vapor accumulates on the clothes and is not easily discharged. This will make the inner layer of clothes damp, which will prevent the body from drying quickly, which is not conducive to outdoor activities. Ongoing. Therefore, down is best used as camp clothing or warm clothing in low-temperature environments.
The third layer: protective layer
Clothing type: Jacket, down jacket
Main reference: windproof, waterproof, scratchproof
Auxiliary reference: light weight, warm, quick-drying, breathable
The most important functions of outer clothing are windproof, rainproof, wear-resistant, warm and breathable. The best outerwear right now are those that are both waterproof and breathable. Usually what we call a jacket is basically the outermost layer of protection.
