Fearless in the rainy season, I am good at wind and water resistance

        In the damp and cold December, going out requires determination, especially in the north where there is a lot of rain and in the south where the wind is strong. Whether it's office workers, students, or outdoor enthusiasts, going out requires a windproof and rainproof clothing. This issue of "Fashion Column" selects functional clothing that can withstand damp and cold climates, accompanying you during the rainy season.

        Functional clothing has its own functions, and light machine products are very practical all year round. If the temperature drops or wind and rain intensifies, medium and heavy functional products can come in handy. Although functional clothing is usually not cheap, in fact, as long as you understand the key technologies and choose according to your usage needs, you can find the most suitable and reasonably priced product for yourself. Here are some tips for purchasing:

        Water repellent ≠ raincoat: The key to selecting waterproof items is the strength of water blocking, which can generally be divided into three types: "Water repellent", "Water resistant", and "Water proof". They can respectively achieve the effect of water droplets bouncing off, creating a barrier, and 100% blocking. There are two types of textile processing methods: coating or lamination. Although the latter has a higher unit price, it is relatively durable.

        Breathability is key: Rainshoes and raincoats that are 100% waterproof, despite their excellent waterproof effect, are not breathable; If you want to combine waterproofing and comfort, it depends on technology and functional materials. Most of these products will provide waterproof coefficient and breathability values, making it convenient for consumers to choose.

        Onion style combination: Before traveling to cold countries, many people will always purchase items such as pants, shoes, jackets, etc. In order to continue the use cycle of clothing, it is necessary to choose a multifunctional combination design. The interior is cold resistant, the outer layer is waterproof, and the breathable material can keep you warm even in snow. It is important to note that the outerwear style must be confirmed to have waterproof strips at the inner seam, otherwise it is easy for water to seep when rain and snow intersect.
