Waterproofing of outdoor hiking shoes?

1. Is mountaineering shoe waterproof?

Answer: Professional mountaineering shoes are waterproof (here refers to professional mountain shoes, not mountaineering shoes worn in summer), waterproof is one of the basic functions of mountaineering shoes.

2. The waterproof principle of Outdoor hiking shoes

Waterproofing of mountaineering shoes can be achieved through two aspects, one is waterproof; the other is to prevent waterproof waterproof.

1. Principles of waterproof water

By spraying waterproofing agents on the hiking shoes, waterproof effect is achieved.In this way, you splash water on the upper. If you immerse it in this short time, the upper will be like a lotus leaf and will not be wet.At the same time, the effect of waterproof watering has a lot to do with the upper material. Pure Skin upper is best waterproof.

Disadvantages: Do not soak water for a long time. After the shoes are worn for a period of time, it is necessary to reintegrate the waterproofing effect and strengthen the waterproof effect, and it will affect the breathability of the shoes.

2. The principle of waterproof membrane waterproof

By adding a layer of waterproof and breathable film to the upper material, this is a porous film. Its pores are 10,000 times smaller than water droplets, and it is thousands of times larger than water vapor molecules. This is the effect of waterproof and breathable.In this way, even if the shoes are soaked in the water for a long time, it will not leak water, and it does not affect the sweat -breathable effect when climbing.Common waterproof materials are: GORE-TEX, Event, Sympa-TEX and so on.

3. The assistance relationship between waterproof and waterproof membrane

It cannot be simply split, whether it is better to spill water or waterproof membrane, because the two are complementary and cooperate intimately.If any semi -diaphragm is completely wet, it will completely lose its breathable effect. Another main function of the outer layer is to keep the semi -diaphragm and do not bubble water and prevent the dirt that is brought in with the water from blocking the semi -diaphragm.

waterproof Climbing shoes pay attention to

1. Do not wear mountaineering shoes as raindrops.Rainwash is completely isolated, and mountaineering shoes will be soaked in water for a long time, and there will be a rainbow absorption and losing waterproof effect.

2. The waterproofness and breathability of mountaineering shoes are inversely proportional.Therefore, we must not blindly pursue waterproofing, and you need to choose the function of Climbing shoes according to the Outdoor conditions.

3. Don't blindly pursue GORE-TEX waterproof shoes. Such waterproof materials shoes are expensive. If you are leisurely climbing and Hiking, ordinary waterproof materials are enough.
