Functional Yarns in Outdoor Sports Equipment：China functional yarn customize
Through technological innovation and multi-scenario adaptation, functional yarns continue to enhance the performance boundaries of outdoor equipment to meet the needs of lightweight, specialization and all-weather protection.
1. Sun and heat protection
By blocking ultraviolet rays (UPF 900+) and visible light, and reducing heat radiation by more than 40%, it solves the problem of “sun protection but not heat protection” of traditional sun-protective clothing, and is applied to summer sun-protective clothing (such as Anta Light Shield sun-protective clothing).
2. Waterproof and Breathable
Adopting microfiber laminated structure, the outer layer is waterproof and weatherproof, and the inner layer is moisture-permeable and perspiration-expelling, which ensures that the punching clothes and tents stay dry and fresh in the humid environment.
3. Abrasion resistance and protection
Aramid fiber yarn is strong and friction-resistant, used in mountaineering shoes, backpacks and tent bottoms to resist wear and tear from rocks, branches and other rough surfaces.
Nylon anti-slip yarn enhances the grip of shoe soles and tights by increasing friction and adapting to complex terrain (e.g. mountaineering clothes, raincoats).
4. Thermoregulation
Wool or hollow polyester fibers provide efficient insulation by storing air for outdoor sweaters and thermal underwear; phase change material (PCM) yarns dynamically regulate body temperature.
Shaped fiber cross-section accelerates sweat absorption and evaporation, enhancing the breathability and comfort of sportswear and cycling clothing.
5. Health Protection
Silver ion or chemically modified fibers inhibit bacterial growth and reduce odor, applied to outdoor socks, sports T-shirts and intimate apparel.
Adding UV absorber, blocking 99% of UV rays, used in sunwear, outdoor hats, etc., to protect the skin from harm.
6. Multi-functional integration and innovation
Some high-end equipment combines multiple functions, such as waterproof + breathable + antibacterial, to meet the needs of complex scenarios (e.g., punching jackets, smart wearable equipment).
