The cold resistance of Odale composite mink sued fabric in winter outdoor clothing

1. Introduction

With the advancement of technology and the improvement of people’s requirements for comfort, new breakthroughs have been made in the research and development of outdoor clothing in winter. Among them, Odale composite mink sued fabric, as a new material, has gradually become an important choice for outdoor clothing in winter due to its excellent warmth and comfortable wearing experience. This article will introduce in detail the cold resistance of Odell composite mink sued fabric, and explore its application in winter outdoor clothing by citing famous foreign literature and actual data.

2. Overview of Odale composite mink sued fabric

(I) Definition and Characteristics

Odale composite mink sued fabric is a high-performance fabric made of a variety of fibers. Its main ingredients include mink fiber, polyester fiber and spandex fiber. Mink velvet fiber is known for its softness, lightness and strong warmth; polyester fiber provides good wear resistance and tear resistance; spandex fiber imparts elasticity to the fabric, making it more fit with the human curve and increases wear comfort. .

3. Analysis of cold resistance performance

(I) Thermal insulation performance

According to the Journal of Textile Research, the thermal insulation performance of Odal composite mink sued fabric is significantly better than that of traditional cotton and wool fabrics. Studies have shown that under a low temperature environment of -20°C, the thermal conductivity coefficient of Odell composite mink sued fabric is only 0.02 W/(m·K), which is much lower than that of cotton fabrics. 0.04 W/(m·K) of wool fabric. This means that Odell composite mink sued fabric can more effectively prevent heat loss and maintain human body temperature.

(II) Windproof performance

Windproof performance is one of the important indicators for measuring outdoor clothing in winter. According to the data from “Textile Research Journal”, the wind resistance coefficient of Odell composite mink sued fabric reaches level 8 or above, which can effectively block cold air invasion in strong wind environments. Experiments show that under the wind speed of 10 m/s, the temperature difference inside the Odale composite mink sued fabric is only ±1°C, while the temperature difference of ordinary cotton fabric reaches ±3°C.

(III) Breathable performance

Good breathable performance helps to eliminate moisture in the body, prevent the environment in the clothing from being damp, and thus avoid the feeling of cold. According to the Journal of Applied Polymer Science, the moisture permeability of Odell composite mink sued fabric is as high as 5000 g/m²/24h, which can quickly expel sweat and moisture and keep clothes dry. In addition, its moisture absorption rate is as low as 0.5%, further reducing the possibility of moisture accumulation.

(IV) Waterproofing performance

Winter outdoor activities often face rain and snow, so waterproofing is crucial. According to the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, the Odale composite mink fabric has a waterproof rating of 5000mm H₂O, which can keep it dry under moderate rainfall or snowfall conditions. The experimental results show that after 6 hours of continuous rainfall, the inner layer of Odale composite mink sued fabric remained dry, while ordinary cotton fabrics showed obvious wetness.

IV. Comfort assessment

(I) Softness

The softness of the Odale composite mink sued fabric is due to its unique fiber structure. According to research by Textile Bioengineering and Informatics, the fabric has a soft and delicate feel, with a friction coefficient as low as 0.15, which is much lower than the 0.25 of traditional cotton fabrics. This allows the wearer to feel unbound when exercising, while improving overall comfort.

(II) Elasticity

The addition of spandex fiber gives Odal composite mink sued fabric good elasticity. According to Journal of Industrial Textiles, the elastic recovery rate of the fabric reaches 98%, and it can quickly return to its original state even after multiple stretches. This feature not only increases the wearer’s freedom of movement, but also extends theLong service life of the fabric.

(Three) Weight

Lightweight design is an important trend in modern winter outdoor clothing. According to the Journal of Textile Engineering & Fibre Science, the weight of Odal composite mink fabric is 300g/m², which is about 30% lighter than traditional wool fabrics. This allows the wearer not to feel overburdened during long outdoor activities, and improves mobility efficiency.

5. Application scenarios

(I) Polar Expedition

Polar adventure is an activity with extremely high equipment requirements. According to Polar Record, Odale composite mink sued fabric is widely used in polar adventure clothing due to its excellent thermal insulation and wind resistance. For example, during the Antarctic expedition, an internationally renowned expedition team chose a cold-proof clothing made of Odale compound mink suede fabric, which successfully resisted extreme low temperature and strong wind environments and ensured the safety and health of the team members.

(II) Alpine skiing

Alpine skiing is a high-intensity outdoor sport that requires good warmth and breathability in clothing. According to the Journal of Sports Sciences, the high moisture permeability and low moisture absorption of Odal composite mink sued fabric makes it ideal for alpine ski suits. Experiments show that athletes wearing Odell composite mink sued ski suits always maintain the temperature of their body surfaces within the appropriate range after high-intensity exercise, and there is no cold feeling caused by moisture accumulation.

(III) Urban commuting

City commuters also need to stay warm and comfortable in cold weather. According to Urban Climate, the lightweight design and good elasticity of Odal composite mink fabric make it ideal for making urban commuter jackets. User feedback shows that the jacket made of this fabric not only has good warmth, but also comfortable to wear and convenient for daily activities.

VI. Market prospects and development trends

(I) Market demand

With global climate change and people’s living standards, the demand for outdoor clothing in winter has been increasing year by year. According to the forecast of Market Research Future, the global winter outdoor clothing market will reach $XX billion by 2025. Odale composite mink sued fabric is expected to occupy a larger market share thanks to its excellent cold resistance and comfort.

(II) Technology development trend

In the future, the technological development of Odale composite mink sued fabric will focus on the following aspects:

1. Intelligent: Combined with intelligent textile technology, develop fabrics with self-heating functions to further improve the warmth effect.
2. Environmental protection: adopt renewable resources and environmentally friendly production processes to reduce the impact on the environment.
3. Multifunctionalization: Integrate more functions, such as antibacterial and ultraviolet ray protection, to meet the needs of different scenarios.
