Outdoor Waterproof Material Knowledge for Walking in the Mountains on Rainy Days

Basic Concepts of Outdoor Waterproof Materials

• Waterproof materials are usually made from fabrics or materials that are intrinsically waterproof, or by adding a waterproof coating (such as PVC, PU, or rubber) to the surface of the fabric. Afterward, they are tested for water penetration resistance to serve as outdoor waterproof materials.

  
  

• Waterproof materials are completely impermeable, ensuring no water droplets can pass through the fabric even under harsh outdoor conditions. Therefore, they are commonly used in areas requiring enhanced waterproof safety.

  
  

• Outdoor waterproof materials are relatively expensive because they use ultra-high-quality materials and require extensive waterproof testing.

  
  

The Importance of Outdoor Waterproof Materials

During outdoor hiking, sweating is the most common means for the body to cool itself. Sweating takes away heat as it evaporates, and clothes soaked in sweat lose their insulation effect. Therefore, clothes must be sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and breathable. In rainy and snowy weather, the body's contact with cold rain and snow carries away heat, and wind expedites this heat loss. In such situations, clothes that are windproof and waterproof are extremely important.
