Concept of wearing Three layers of clothes

When we are doing outdoor exercises, the clothes you wear should be able to protect from weather changes, therefore, you should consider the functions instead of the styles and colors. When purchasing clothes, you should take your personal requirements, useage of the clothes,
and your cold-resistant ability into consideration, and then choose adequate clothes with the most economical prices.

In order to deal with changeable weather and drive out a large amount of sweat coming from outdoor exercises, a concept of wearing three layers of clothes was developed to respond to all sorts of weather changes and practical needs for doing outdoor exercises.

This concept's application will be illustrated below, and we hope it will suit your outdoor exercises and even your daily life.


【Sweat Diffusing Layer】 BASE LAYER
The major use of an underwear is to keep the skin surface fresh and cool, therefore, the most important function is the sweat diffusion - being able to rapidly diffuse the moisture and sweat to the surface of the inner clothes to keep the sweat from directly evaporating from the skin surface causing the temperature of the skin surface lowering down due to the evaporation absorbs caloric capacity. In addition, with good ventilation, you'll never feel sultry.

In fact, Coolplus® is the best first layer!

【Warm Keeping Layer】 MIDDLE LAYER
Middle layer should be able to assemble the air-layer inside the clothes and show the effects of blocking the cold air from outside and maintaining body temperature. The thicker the assembled air-layer is, the better the warmth-keeping effect is. In that case, wearing several light and loose clothes will feel warmer than wearing only one thick and heavy clothes because, the former contains a thicker air-layer.
As far as materials are concerned, they can be divided into two categories; natural material and synthetic material. Down-feather jacket is well known by people as one of the natural materials. Since feathers can catch more air when they expand, they can provide better warmth-keeping effects. However, the major drawback of feathers is that they cannot "be contacted with" water. Once a feather is wet, it loses its warmth-keeping effect.
Talking about synthetic materials, the fleece made by Coolplus®-Thermo Control fibers can reach the quality of softness and good warmth. It can keep you warm even when slightly wet. Users can choose suitable clothes according to their needs. However, the biggest drawback is not being wind resistant (which is also the drawback of synthetic fleece products), so it has to be used with some wind-resistant clothes to show its warmth-keeping effects.

【Blocking & Protecting Layer】: OUTER LAYER
The most important functions for outer layer clothes are heat resistant, water proof, and wind proof. In addition to lower influence on human bodies caused by bad weather to the lowest degree, it should also be able to diffuse excess heat produced by human bodies, and keep the water vapor (sweat) from condensing in the middle layer and soaking the back lowering the heat resistant effects.
So far, the best solution is the clothes containing two functions, waterproof and air permeability at the same time.
Generally speaking, all the waterproof and air permeable clothes available in the market show similar results when being tested under "dry and static" environment.However, less people pay attention to the fact that the difference of being tested under "wet and dynamic" environment, and the actual outdoor environment. Therefore, when purchasing clothes with waterproof and air permeability functions, you should consider your practical needs, and choose suitable clothes. The Chung-Shing Himamo is the right choice for your outer layer clothes.
