At present, the world's most scientific outdoor dressing method is also called "three-layer dressing method". The outer layer is a rainproof and windproof layer, which is mainly borne by down jackets, jackets, cotton clothes, etc.; The middle layer is also known as the thermal layer, which is mainly borne by fleece, rib down jackets, sweaters, etc.; The base layer is a sweat-absorbing and breathable layer, which is mainly undertaken by functional underwear made of quick-drying materials and merino wool underwear. It is worth mentioning that these three layers of clothing are not just narrowly understood as three pieces of clothing, each layer of clothing may be a comprehensive combination.
With the founder of Patagonia and the founder of Polartec at the end of the 70s of the last century, they jointly invented the polar fleece material, named Synchilla Fleece, this insulation material, is the key material for fleece products. As we all know, the fleece jacket that became popular all over the world came into being.
Synchilla Fleece was selected by Time magazine as one of the top 100 inventions of the 20th century. To this day, fleece jackets have become one of the best choices for outdoor dressing.
Next, Brother Darcy will introduce you to the four top brands of fleece.
