What is membrane clothing?

The modern world is ready to offer consumers a huge selection of the latest developments and technologies, and these innovations are often used in a variety of areas. The membrane is one such example. Previously, this material was used only when creating equipment and clothing for sports, tourism and other outdoor activities. Membrane clothing has certain properties that are necessary just in such conditions. At the moment, this type of fabric is widely used in the industry for sewing outerwear, including for children.

What is a membrane clothing? It is made of high-tech material, which has a significant degree of water resistance, but it is also able to "breathe". The membranes are hydrophilic and hydroporous.

Hydrophilic are a special type of fabric, on which a film is applied thermally, not allowing water to enter. Moreover, the tissue remains breathable, since free chemical bonds allow the molecules of evaporating moisture to be transferred from the inner side of the film to the outer one. In such a membrane, foreign matter and dirt do not have any effect on its vapor permeability, as well as its waterproofing properties.

Hydropore membrane clothing has many microscopic holes, that is, pores. They are much smaller in size than a drop of water, which prevents moisture from getting inside. In this case, water molecules in the form of a vapor can freely flow out through it. For membranes of this type, dirt will be disastrous, as it simply clogs the pores, which in time leads to a deterioration in the properties of clothing. Such membrane clothing is able to breathe only in its pure form.

You can consider how it all works in practice. It is very important that the clothes are comfortable, especially for children. If we talk about comfort, then we have in mind the microclimate, that is, the thin layer of air that remains between the clothes and the person. The microclimate is influenced by different factors: clothing properties, weather conditions, physical activity. It is worth saying that children's membrane clothing is impervious to wind, so it gives a feeling of comfort, which the child needs so much. So he can be in the cold for a long time on the street, completely without freezing.

During physical exertion, the human body emits moisture, that is, sweats, and if it is not removed in time, it covers the skin with a film, cooling at rest and warming with active movement, which leads to severe discomfort. Membrane clothing for children and adults does not allow moisture to be trapped inside, leading evaporation to the outside, which allows for proper microcirculation, and also maintains the necessary level of humidity and temperature. It turns out that in such clothes it is possible to keep as much as possible the habitual microclimate in the unchanged form, while the temperature "overboard" and the level of physical activity have no influence on it. That is why in membrane clothing it is comfortable both in cold and in hot weather.

As you can see, membrane clothing has very interesting properties, allowing it to be used for sports and just active movement.
