Details on how to choose a cotton jacket

What temperature is suitable for cotton clothing

The suitable wearing temperature of cotton clothing varies according to the thickness of the cotton clothing, the filling material and the individual's degree of cold resistance. Generally speaking, thin cotton clothes are suitable for wearing in the weather of 5 ° C to 15 ° C; Medium thickness of cotton clothing suitable for ° C to 10° C temperature; Thick cotton clothes can be worn at -5 ° C to 5 ° C or even lower temperatures.

For example, in late autumn, when the temperature is around 10 ° C, a thin hooded cotton jacket can resist the morning and evening cold; In winter, when the temperature is close to 0 ° C, the medium-thick cotton jacket with scarves and other accessories can provide a better warm effect; In extremely cold areas, when the temperature drops to below zero, thick long cotton clothes can better protect the body from the cold.

What is the filling material of cotton clothing

1. Natural cotton

Traditional cotton clothing filling material is mainly natural cotton. Cotton has good warmth and hygroscopicity, which can keep the body warm and dry to a certain extent. Cotton fiber soft and comfortable, no irritation to the skin, suitable for all skin types of people wear.

However, the disadvantage of natural cotton is that it is relatively heavy and its thermal performance will be reduced after moisture exposure. In addition, the compressibility of cotton is poor, which is not conducive to storage and carrying.

2. Artificial fiber cotton

With the development of science and technology, man-made fiber cotton has gradually become one of the main filling materials for cotton clothing. Common man-made fiber cotton polyester fiber cotton, hollow fiber cotton and so on.

Polyester fiber cotton has the characteristics of lightness, softness, good heat retention, and good water resistance and wrinkle resistance. Its compressibility is good, easy to store and carry, suitable for outdoor activities and travel wear.

Hollow fiber cotton is made of fiber into hollow structure through a special process, which increases the thermal insulation performance of the fiber. Hollow fiber cotton also has good air permeability and moisture absorption, which can keep the body dry and comfortable.

3. New filling material

Aerogel is a material with extremely high thermal insulation properties, and its thermal conductivity is extremely low, which can effectively prevent the transfer of heat. Aerogel cotton clothing is usually very light, but the thermal performance is very good, suitable for wearing in extremely cold environments.
