Air layer fabric

Air layer fabric

 

Air layer fabric is a functional fabric formed through special weaving techniques, usually consisting of two or three layers of fabric connected by spaced yarns (such as spandex, polyester), forming a hollow "air layer" in the middle, similar to a "sandwich" structure.

 

 

material

 

The outer layer of the air layer fabric is mostly made of synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, which are wear-resistant and easy to maintain; The inner layer is commonly made of skin friendly materials such as cotton and modal; The air in the middle layer is supported by yarn.

 

 

Weaving method

 

 

Using knitting or weaving techniques, by adjusting the yarn density and organizational structure (such as ribbed or jacquard), static air is retained within the interlayer.

 

 

Does the air layer get hot in summer?

 

Air is a poor conductor of heat, and the static air in the interlayer can reduce the heat dissipation from the body surface. Theoretically, it has a certain degree of warmth retention. If the interlayer is too thick or not breathable, it may be stuffy and hot in summer. If the outer layer of the fabric is made of highly breathable materials (such as polyester fiber microporous structure), and the interlayer design is lightweight (air layer thickness<2mm), air can flow with human activities to assist in heat dissipation.

 

 

Look at thickness, material, and craftsmanship

 

Check thickness: Choose a single-layer air layer (thickness ≤ 1.5mm) or a "semi air layer" to reduce stuffiness. Material selection: Nylon/polyester+spandex blend is preferred for the outer layer, while Modal or Coolmax constant speed dry fiber is preferred for the inner layer. Consider the craftsmanship: Avoid fully enclosed air layers and choose designs with breathable holes, mesh structures, or detachable interlayers.
