The lining of the jacket is also called mesh fabric. To be precise, it should be called warp knitted fabric. Simply put, it is a fabric woven by a warp knitting machine (knitting). The mesh size and mesh depth of the mesh can be woven according to the needs by adjusting the stitching of the warp knitting machine. For example, there are our common rhombus, triangle, hexagonal, cylindrical, square, square and other mesh shapes. Let’s learn the details together.
The materials used in mesh weaving are generally polyester, nylon and other chemical fibers, which have the characteristics of high strength, light weight, high and low temperature resistance, and good moisture absorption.
Depending on the nature of outdoor and sports activities, mesh linings are used for the linings of jackets and sportswear, mountaineering bags, and the uppers and linings of some shoes.
As an isolation layer between human sweat and clothing, it prevents moisture from accumulating on the surface of human skin, maintains smooth air circulation, avoids wear and tear of waterproof and breathable membranes, and makes clothing more comfortable to wear.
The mesh used in some high-end clothing is also woven with fibers with moisture-absorbing and sweat-wicking properties.
Due to different design concepts and manufacturing processes, some jacket linings use a three-layer composite cloth with mesh directly attached to the inside of the breathable membrane. According to the needs and usage characteristics, some equipment also uses elastic yarn (with a certain proportion of Lycra fiber added) and other strong stretch fibers to weave a mesh with a certain elasticity, for example, it is used to make the outside of mountaineering bags. Elastic mesh fabric is used in water bottles, sundry mesh bags, the inside of the backpack, shoulder straps and other parts.
