Walking outdoors and Clothing Advice – Choosing and Using Al Aire Libre!

Walking and warm clothing on board: The stratification system

When walking, hiking, mountaineering, rock climbing or mountain biking, etc, is very important to wear clothing designed to protect against the elements. Not only correct clothing you feel comfortable and enjoy your activity, which, under certain extreme conditions and will save his life.

The stratification system is an effective way to make sure you maintain a comfortable body temperature during and after exercise, regardless of the weather. The system uses overlapping three basic layers are: Layer external – Waterproof wind protected form rain and snow, the middle class – to provide insulation and keep the heat and the base layer – To provide insulation and sweat away from your skin.

Not only does each layer has its own role in the system of multiple layers, but the air is also trapped between each layer. The air between the layers keeps you warmer than if you were to wear a heavy coat. The stratification system is very flexible. If you are hot can remove a layer. If you're cold, you can add a layer. For example, you can use more than one intermediate layer to keep warm.

To the best comfort of all layers must be permeable to air or blocking capabilities. If one of your layers is not air permeable / bit then breathing / wicking properties other layers will not be as effective.

Before going to walk, shipping or other outdoor activities, it is important to reflect on the type of clothing you have to take with you. Some points to consider are: How long you are away from? The more you go, the less will be able to predict the weather. You should be prepared for good and bad weather.

When and where to walk? During the winter in Scotland do not need a pair of shorts for walking, But you will probably need a waterproof quality. When hiking on a hot summer day in Spain, you may not need five fleece jackets.

How high are you going? It can be hot and sunny in the valley but start to rise quickly the weather can be cold and unpredictable. In the mountain wind, rain and snow can occur anywhere.

What will you do after your exercise / Where you stay? There may be plenty hot enough air while opening your business, but once that stops, can be very cold. This is especially true if, after a hard day of hiking, you must wait approximately a train home, or if you are camping overnight.

You may also need more technical or other specialized clothing business, for example, if you use your scale should not restrict your movement or if you are cycling, it is to have advantagous top with long sleeves and extra back. It is always advisable to wear appropriate clothing to protect against the elements, but keep in mind you need to wear these clothes when not in use. A good tip is to always take another layer that you think you need. This basic rule generally ensures that you will be well protected and warm enough, but do not stop carrying around clothes that are not necessary.

Remember not their limbs. In the cold, windy conditions with rain or snow, you'll be glad you remember your gloves and a hat!

A waterproof jackets and pants

waterproof jackets and trousers form the top layer of your clothing system. The closing function is to avoid getting wet and cold when it rains or snows, or when it is windy.

Ideally, tarpaulins also be permeable to air. Breathable waterproof fabrics allow your sweat to be transferred from inside his jacket or waterproof pants outdoors, where it can evaporate. Thus, breathable waterproof fabrics prevent hot and moist when it is active. When you take a pause in the march as soon as it cools. If they are not waterproof breathable, the sweat trapped in clothing can be very cold. The fabrics are breathable by incorporating tiny pores into the material. The pores are water-resistant material much smaller than raindrops, but are much larger than the molecules of water vapor.

rainwear is windproof, which helps keep it warm. A layer of warm air, heated by the body, is trapped in clothing. If your clothes are not the wind in this layer of warm air will fly and you will become cold. rainwear is not much heat and So a non-woven, and / or base layer worn underneath her raincoat to keep warm. Note: To get the most out of the waterproof layer, breathable base intermediate layers should be breathable and have good moisture transport properties.

There are many waterproof breathable fabrics available, one of the most famous is the Gore-Tex. Gore-Tex fabric is used by Sprayway The North Face and Berghaus. Waterproof other water, wind and breathable fabrics include: the analogy used by Nikwax Paramo Triple Point Ceramic Lowe Alpine used; Hydro / Hydro Dry and P2 / P3 used by Sprayway dry, dry, dry Aqua Pro Aqua Craghoppers used by Aqua and the road used by Berghaus. There are many different types of Gore-Tex fabrics, including: Taslan Gore-Tex is hard for rough use. Kinetics of Gore-Tex 3 layer construction, is easy on teardrop Very high strength and resistance to abrasion.

Gore-Tex XCR can be added to the whole Gore-Tex fabric for extra breathability. Jackets and pants from impervious materials shall be closed so that the clothing appears to be completely waterproof. If it appears not registered, water leaks through them.

Proof Wind

Windproof help keep you warm. A layer of warm air, heated her body is trapped in his clothes. If your clothes are not the wind in this layer Hot air will fly and you will become cold. Wind-proof clothes are not waterproof, but they can be waterproof. This means that only protect you from rain if there is a light rain. You you need waterproof protection from rain, but moderate. Hydro / dry P1 used by Sprayway is a windproof fabric. Some fleeces are also windproof, for more information on these see below.

Polar

Fleece is a pile fabric that is designed to keep you warm. The wool is usually polyester. It is breathable, wicks water from the body and improves insulation. fleece is not waterproof, but it can be water resistant. Some types of equipment are also the polar wind.

clothing made of polar light or hair, average weight is ideal for use as a base and the middle class. The thicker polar wind can be used as a coating medium or high, depending on the weather.

The fleeces following wind: Polartec Polartec WindPro Windbloc Windstopper Gore-Tex Windstopper Craghoppers windshield when the material can undergo polar lava pilling. Pilling is the formation of small balls of felt on the surface of wool. fleece lining material does not suffer from pilling Pila.

Polartec Fleece

Polartec Wind Pro is the state of the art in fleece warmth and light. It has a compact design, combined with wind resistance and fast drying high. It is waterproof and breathable resistant and has anti-microbial finish. It can be machine washed.

Polartec Windbloc is totally windproof, breathable and water repellent. Polartec 200 series is a medium weight, thick thermal fleece. Provides excellent wicking, quick drying and has anti-bacterial finish that can be used together with the skin without too smelly. Polartec 300 fleece series is a thermal transfer moisture pieces excellent Council and fast drying properties.

Aleutian Fleece

The name describes a range specially developed Aleutian insulating fabrics that are made of wool or velvet. These technical fabrics are the culmination of many years of joint development and Lowe Alpine Malden Mills, makers of Polartec. Aleutian Waffle has a network of pieces of texture that not only looks good but also improves insulation value when used in a layering system – ideal for a variable time during the march. Aleutian cable shows great style when average weight is used as outerwear. It also provides an insulation value in a three-layer system in spring or autumn. Marl Aleutian face combines dense, low external battery – the wind resistance – with velvet on the inside – for maximum insulation.

Underwear

Conveniently the base layers (or underwear) should the sweat from your skin and keeps you cool and dry. One way to achieve tissue wick Property is constructing the 100% knitted polyester incorporating Denier Gradient Technology (DGT). son are major point in the interior of the best knitwear with the child outside of the fabric. This combination of wholesale and your child to create a gradient of money, pulling the hair of moisture from inside to outside of the fabric. The DGT also significantly increases the surface of the fabric that accelerates capillary action and evaporation to dry clothes very quickly. The DGT is a physical property of the fabric will not wash over time.

Some fabrics are impregnated base layer anti-bacterial treatment. This prevents the bacteria that cause body odor to develop in the tissue where the clothes are worn for extended periods.

Polartec 100 is the lightest Polartec fleece. It can be used alone on a hike in hot weather or as a base or intermediate layer in any season.

Polartec Powerstretch ideal for next treatment the skin and as an intermediate layer. The outer surface is a short hair and nylon jersey inside the polyester Velvet is a hair. Provides elastic Lycra 60% throughout for a comfortable fit. The internal battery is an antimicrobial evacuate, body moisture and prevent accumulation of odors. Powerstretch easy care, machine washable and dry quickly.

Coolmax Alta is made by DuPont and used by The North Face. It is resistant to the pill (resistant bobble) designed to combine comfort and excellent moisture management long held. It is natural feeling fabric, dries faster than the tissues of disposal, provides unparalleled moisture management, and wash the pill after washing. Very light weight

Aleutian Micro Grid is a double stack design of the mesh small in the face and a slightly brushed surface. The open structure and light weight makes Micro Grid very breathable. little performance allows these garments for dressing skin.

Dryflo is made by Lowe Alpine. It is made of 100% polyester fibers are hydrophobic, resulting in a process that absorbs no moisture wicking (unlike cotton), but uses a unique denier gradient that mechanically transports moisture from the body. Dryflo ® 'S offers point-open construction high transpiration to make the best choice for wearing under waterproof / clothing breathable. Dryflo ® is fast drying, which together with the comfort of the skin. properties Dryflo ® 's fuse and breathable also make Dryflo ® Top perfect summer shirt. The thermal properties are often a consideration for consumers. All items offer optimum heat Dryflo ® no adverse effect on the wick or perspiration. There are several types of Dryflo example Dryflo Leger, Dryflo Fullweight, Dryflo tubes seamless.

Paramo reversible shirts are built with the parameter S. Parameter S is a breathable fabric that directs water on one side and asymmetric traps still air in the other. If you are active or hot water is needed near the skin to evaporate and cool: Use no flocculant, water to draw the face side of your skin and keeps you cool. If you are at rest or cold, you need a layer of still air next to your skin to keep warm: wear fluffy face, air containing about your skin to keep warm. The cotton fabric is a light will remain warm and comfortable, but not wick properties and can become saturated with sweat. This is undesirable, especially when going up and leave to cool.

Clothing Fabric

Breathable Membranes

All membranes are microporous breathable a man whose extremely thin film physical structure containing microscopic pores that are large enough for water vapor (perspiration) to pass, but enough quick not to let drops of water through. Thus, the membrane is breathable, waterproof and windproof. microporous membranes Modern buildings are usually laminated to a face cloth and available in two versions and three layers.

Gore-Tex

Gore-Tex is a single slice thin membrane, which contains more than 9 billion pores per square inch. Each pore is 20,000 times smaller than a raindrop but 700 times as high moisture vapor molecule. This gives the fabric an excellent level of waterproofness and breathability makes it so famous through hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Gore-Tex membrane is a bi-component, which means that it is composed two pieces. The main part (see) is manufactured from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE for short). These are combined with a hatred Oleophobic oil () membrane layer protects the natural oils that the body emits, insect repellents, cosmetics, etc.

The outer fabric is coated with a hydrophobic Gore-Tex DWR (Durable impermeability of water) that promotes the treatment of surface water to bead up and run-off, improved performance and wet weather clothing for the promotion of avoiding perspiration moisten aside. There are a number of buildings in different Gore-Tex currently used in industry:

Classic 2 Layer Gore-Tex

It provides protection against mild weather is good and versatile end-uses such as walking, clothes, golf and skiing. Made by nylon or polyester material with Gore-Tex, then hang mesh lining just inside the laminate.

Classic 3-layer Gore-Tex

Designed for maximum durability in applications rough use in adverse weather conditions such as high mountains. Made by laminating a new face fabric (usually nylon) to Gore-Tex membrane, the protection a mesh inner fabric laminated, then the other side of the membrane, giving a better durability.

Gore-Tex Paclite

Lighter and more compressible than two or three pieces of layer, designed for mountain sports or fast moving light. As with two-layer garments, the face fabric is bonded to the Gore-Tex but unlike any other structure, rugged abrasion raised dots (or points) to protect the membrane. This means that, since it is less between you and the membrane is increased breathability.

Gore-Tex XCR

Standing for an extended range of Comfort, XCR is the latest addition to Gore-Tex, that using technology membranes and new techniques for the material offers a 25% more breathable than classic clothing Gore-Tex. Designed for climbers, hikers, snowboarders, ski touring and other outdoor enthusiasts who value performance and demand the most from your computer. Available in two layers and three of the construction.

Hydro Dry P3 (Sprayway)

Fabric upper range of HydroDry Sprayway, P3 has a hydrostatic head of 10,000 mm. It is waterproof and has a good level of breathability. However from a hydrophilic laminate, HydroDry P3 is available in two layers and three layers of the construction. P3 HydroDry offers customers an alternative technique Sprayway Gore-Tex in the same way Drilite is for extreme mountaineering equipment.

Extreme Drilite DLE (Mountain Equipment)

A new development of Mountain Equipment, Drilite Extreme is a laminate monolithic, hydrophilic, with a hydrostatic head of more than 20,000 mm. DLE (Drilite Extreme) is completely waterproof and breathable exceptionally warranty. An additional benefit is the extreme elasticity Drilite hydrophilic laminate, making it especially ideal for elastic panels knees and security areas, ensuring greater freedom of movement and comfort. Available in 2 and 3 layer construction.

HyVent (The North Face)

Designed as an innovative option for complete weather protection, HyVent is a waterproof and breathable polyurethane. Although it is slightly less breathable than Gore-Tex ® laminate, is extremely water resistant, and can have a reliable protective outer layer. This combination of high waterproofness and breathability, ideal for keep the elements. To increase the comfort and breathability level of coating, TNF has developed precise custom lining options in both the 2 – and 3-layer versions of the technology HyVent.

EVENT (Pearl / Izumi / Rav / Montano)

EVENT Fabric ™ is a barrier ™ Direct Vent waterproof. The use of an owner and patents pending Dry System ™, the cloth that set a new standard for comfort by allowing perspiration to dissipate and vent before it saturates inside the fabric. In the heart tissue is EVENT hydrophobic ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) film was Oleophobic, and free from contamination and body oil, using a method that retains the inherent structure of the membrane pores.

Breathable Coatings

breathable coatings often applied to jackets that hikers use as it means they are more comfortable during their walk through the reduction of moisture accumulation (required to maintain optimal body temperature). All coatings are created by distributing a thin layer of resin directly onto the inner surface of the tissue chosen. There are two different types of breathable coating exist: microporous and hydrophilic.

A microporous coating works on the same principle as a microporous membrane, the pores of the layer is large enough to pass water vapor but small enough to fit into water droplets.

hydrophilic coatings rely on the chemical properties and molecular water molecules. The body generates heat inside the garment steam Readers (sweating) of the polymer chains coating on the exterior, the steam passing from one molecule to free rather than a physical hole or pore. As the body produces more moisture and the fabric becomes wet chains naturally increase the size, allowing more moisture movement. In use, the two types of coatings are effective, with overall performance of any item to be determined by a combination of factors such as choice of fabric for the face, use a separate liner, and the overall design, cutting and finished garment.

Triple Point Ceramic (Lowe Alpine)

TriplePoint Pottery is a unique multi-layer microporous coating is waterproof, wind resistant and breathable. It differs from other treatments in the manufacturing process consists of several layers and the introduction of ceramic particles, which are impregnated in the coating at high pressure. This has the effect of creating microscopic holes around each particle. These cavities are large enough to allow passage of water vapor on the outside, but small enough to prevent liquid water moves in the opposite direction. Since ceramic TriplePoint is physically integrated into the tissue is not de-laminate or damaged. This construction is what makes the fabric inherently windproof and highly breathable and waterproof. A special technology to dryness and the Son DWR also applies to the outer fabric coating significantly improve the performance of the rain and pearls (which can be re-generated simply by exposing the garment to a heat source that is directly over medium heat iron or dryer). There are two buildings used in ceramic TriplePoint the production of clothing:

Standard and directly doubled.

Standard Triple Point Ceramic fabric is constructed and covered as described above and a mesh lining for free is Dryflo then added to protect the ozone layer, and to help disperse the water droplets condensed on the inside of the garment.

Triple Point direct double ceramic is a combination of fabric for the new Pro of the Alps for winter 2000. Unlike standard construction, applies a fixed surface directly on the ceramic coating TriplePoint. This gives better performance when combined with a high specification. face tissue.

Triple Point

By Lowe Alpine Triple Point is a multi-layer ceramic coating is lighter than the Triple Point Ceramic therefore better suited to general walking / outdoor activities off in lieu of the most demanding sports outdoors. The outer surface of the fabric is treated with water repellent sustainable standard that applied to improve performance in wet weather.

HydroDry P2 (Sprayway)

A basic version of P3 HydroDry Sprayway, HydroDry P2 is a mixture of coatings and laminates hydrophilic laminate instead of a pure and simple. With a low hydrostatic pressure (5.000 mm) P3 and a slightly lower level of perspiration is HydroDry P2 standing broader market. Available only in the construction of an equivalent two-layer P2 is a good competitor HydroDry at Aquadry TriplePoint.

Competitor II

microporous coating with a multilayer structure. Applied to one side of suitable material, has a good sealing characteristics and breathability. Competitor II used some tissues nylon F & T to improve the performance and durability.

Aquadry

Craghoppers is Aquadry own hydrophilic coating. Built and work in a way very similar to the fabric Sprayway HydroDry Aquadry P2 is a good choice for mid-range clothing waterproof, resistant to water (at least 7,000 mm), windproof and breathable. The labeling includes a measure of hydrostatic pressure Aquadry (meters) and transpiration rate (age%) on each item say "Aquadry 7-82" to watch out.

Windproof

Windproof help keep you warm. A layer of warm air, heated by the body, is trapped in clothing. If your clothes do not wind of this layer of warm air will fly and you will become cold. Windproof clothes are not waterproof, but can be waterproof. This means that only protect you from rain if there is a light rain. You will need waterproof to protect from rain, but moderate. Hydro / Dry P1 used by Sprayway is a windproof fabric. Some wool fabrics are also windproof, for more information on these see below.

Take care of your jackets and gear

Most of us now use the so-called breathable waterproof jackets, and as our skin, allowing moisture to escape, but prevent moisture from penetrating inside! Similarly, a waterproof jacket needs a little TLC on a regular basis to get the better of him. If you notice your jacket seems to be sucking water instead of rejecting it is time to act, and to avoid uncomfortable day with a jacket that does not breathe.

Step A: Wash your jacket! This can be do in the washer with a similar product of Granger extremely clean. Be sure to put the filter in the dust bin and not the drum machine with his jacket, as most are concentrated and not allow the fabric. Wash in cool (40 degrees) of the cycle and to ensure the jacket is well understood. You can use a detergent, but should be a non-bio Important Note: The chemicals in household detergents interfere with the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment outside their waterproof – the fragrances used in particular as well as to combine a fabric softener. Therefore, we recommend using a product like oven Granger gear, which is a pure soap with no additives.

Second step: The "secret" of success. Now you have a jacket clean and free of dust that now prevent the surface of the fabric so that the next … His coat needs a session in the dryer! All waterproof DWR treatment for them, the land has been eliminated was the decision of this work, and heat a dryer to restore their properties. Approximately 35-40 minutes over low heat half will do. Basically, what you should expect is that the buttons to be hot to the touch (if has the skin of your fingers, you've gone too far!) If you happen to notice that the color of the jacket has changed a fraction – Do not Panic – what is the chemical DWR cooling and setting into the fibers of the fabric. (The collapse process of drying liquid.)

You can use a hot iron rejuvenate the DWR coating after washing, but the dryer works best.
