Can the jacket be worn in summer?


Can the jacket be worn in summer? Not for the following reasons;


The so-called jackets are outdoor jackets with waterproof and moisture-permeable functions. The purpose of wearing a jacket is to prevent rainwater from entering the body and keep the body dry; on the other hand, to discharge a small amount of moisture from the body; this is a protective clothing suitable for winter or when climbing high mountains. But in summer, especially in the hot and humid weather in the south, the body's large amount of sweat cannot be excreted from the body, and severe heat stroke will result in shock. Therefore, when you are active in the south or areas with relatively low altitude in summer, what you need to wear is sun-proof and rain-proof clothing, not a thick coat like a jacket.


Don’t wash the jacket frequently. This seems to be inconsistent with Kamijou, but the fact is not the case. The jacket should be cleaned according to the situation. There are two situations. First, after wearing it on outdoor travel, it is covered with dirt, oil, or After being exposed to rain; the second situation is when the jacket is not worn for a long time. If it is not for these two situations, just normal wear, you should not treat the jacket as ordinary clothing, and wash it after only wearing it for a week. Although the correct cleaning method can avoid damage to the jacket, but for this kind of pressure For plastic clothes, frequent washing is still very harmful. Everyone should judge whether it should be washed according to the degree of soiling after wearing the jacket, not the time of wearing it.


Because the breathable and waterproof performance of the jacket is mainly due to a layer of waterproof and breathable membrane in its fabric, this layer is loose and porous, which can insulate water droplets and allow gas to pass through. But if the jacket is stained with dirt or oil, these dirt will block the gaps of the waterproof and breathable membrane, which will reduce the breathability of the jacket. In addition, there are certain acidic corrosive substances in the rain, which are easy to accelerate the aging of the fabric, so in this case, it is necessary to clean the jacket.
