Common raincoat fabrics, how to choose a good raincoat? Raincoats are rainproof clothes made of waterproof fabric. Raincoats are suitable for waterproof fabrics such as adhesive tape, oilcloth, and plastic film. There are many types of raincoat fabrics, mainly four types. Different fabrics have different advantages and disadvantages. Let's take a look at common raincoat fabrics and their characteristics together?

1. Waterproof and moisture permeable cloth

Waterproof and breathable fabric is a new type of textile fabric processed using polymer waterproof and breathable materials. By combining different components of fabric, it is not only convenient to adjust the thickness and strength of the fabric, but also aggregates the advantages of different fabrics, making it widely used in daily life.

2. Oxford cloth

The production process of Oxford cloth is relatively simple, but it has a rich variety of categories, among which the most common ones are plaid, full stretch, nylon, and tig. High quality Oxford cloth has many advantages such as comfort, breathability, soft touch, convenient handling, and rapid dehydration.

3. Cotton fiber

Cotton fiber, also known as nylon, is a very common fiber fabric in daily life and production. The advantages of cotton fiber fabric are mainly manifested in good wear resistance, high strength, moderate elasticity, and good moisture absorption.

4. Polyester

Polyester is the Chinese trade name of polyester fiber, which is definitely one of the most famous Synthetic fiber in life. High quality polyester fibers are often used for textile fabrics, making various clothing and industrial products. Moreover, the production materials of polyester are easy to obtain, the process is simple, the cost is very low, and the product price is naturally relatively low, which is an important factor for it to quickly occupy the market.

There are more and more fabrics and styles of modern raincoats, such as water splashing cloth and vinyl chloride (PVC) raincoats, which are also popular in the market. However, no matter how they are modified, raincoats have a property that has never changed, that is, rainwater droplets on them will quickly gather into a small droplet and flow away, which is why raincoats are waterproof.

What fabric is good for raincoats? Regardless of the material used for raincoats, the following issues should be noted when purchasing:

1. Workmanship: The workmanship of raincoats is very important. If the needle pitch of raincoats is too large, the height of the needle seam is inconsistent, the sealing is not up to standard, and no anti leakage treatment is used, it is easy to penetrate water when encountering rain.

2. Style: Raincoat styles generally refer to the meaning of one-piece long style, split style raincoats and cape style raincoats (raincoats). The one-piece (long style) is easy to wear and take off, but its waterproofing is poor. The split style is more waterproof, and the raincoat is suitable for cycling (electric bicycles, bicycles, etc.).

3. Breathability: When choosing raincoats, full consideration should be given to comfort and breathability. If a raincoat is only designed to prevent rain but is not breathable, then when the seal covers the human body, the hot air inside the body cannot be discharged. The outside is cool and the inside is hot, forming accumulated water and seeping through the lining of the raincoat.

4. Size: Raincoats come in different sizes, so it is recommended that consumers refer to the size chart when choosing raincoats. It is best to try them on and try larger ones as much as possible. This way, even if they wear more clothes in winter, they can still use them.

5. Coating: The basic principle of raincoat waterproofing is fabric+coating, and common coating types include PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PU, EVA, etc. Raincoats are prone to direct contact with the skin. To avoid skin irritation, EVA coated raincoats are recommended.

6. Color: There are many colors and styles of raincoats nowadays, including British style, retro polka dot style, solid color, color, etc. When choosing raincoats, you can consider clothing combinations and personal preferences.
