Dad, cool down. Kind and thoughtful gift. Let's cool down

        On a scorching August day, I sweat all over when I move! If you want to choose gifts for your father on Father's Day, you can consider cool items. This issue of "Fashion Column" selects comfortable cool clothes, cool quilts, cool gadgets, etc. Dad who receives gifts will surely feel your intentions.

        Influenced by climate change, the summer is longer and hotter than ever. The slogan of clothing advertisement "It's cooler to wear than not to wear!" emphasizes the use of technology fiber to reduce Apparent temperature and make the body cooler. However, there are a variety of textile products that demand a sense of coolness, so how should we choose them?

        The principle of coolness: coolness fibers can be roughly divided into two categories: "physical coolness" and "chemical coolness". The former uses weaving methods and fiber properties to improve the effectiveness of moisture absorption and heat removal; The latter adds jade powder in the fiber manufacturing process, utilizing the natural cooling properties of minerals to quickly transmit the body's heat energy while the fabric comes into contact with the skin, achieving a cooling effect.

        Recognize Q-Max value: The Q-Max value (Quantum of Maximum Heat Flux) represents the maximum amount of heat lost by the skin at the moment of contact with a cool feeling fabric. A value greater than or equal to 0.14 is considered a "cool feeling" fabric, and the higher the value, the more significant the cooling effect.

        Proper washing and maintenance: Whether it's cool functional clothing or home accessories, they should be washed in the correct way to extend their effectiveness. Usually, "physical cooling" fabrics use multiple cross-sections to increase surface contact area to accelerate sweat absorption and drainage. It is recommended to put a laundry bag or use a flexible stroke before placing it in the washing machine to avoid excessive pulling; As for "chemical coolness" fabrics, it is also necessary to reduce the addition of softeners and other ingredients to avoid clogging the fabric pores and affecting hydrophilicity.
