Natural fibers versus synthetic for clothing

Functional clothing is important for fiber selection and knitting structure. The fibers determine the speed of damping, the wetness of the knitted and reflective fabric, the drying rate and also the coloring, the possibility of dyeing and printing, the degree of abrasion, the viscosity and the shrinkage.

The binding structure determines the degree of thermal insulation, the moisture holding rate, the drying rate, the mechanical properties and the complexity of the workmanship. “The properties of individual types of fibers combined with different bindings or a combination of fibers and bindings make it possible to create the resulting knitwear for different climatic conditions and physical load,” remarks Melos Piety.

Natural reflective materials, now called renewable, have been used since time immemorial. The most famous cotton and wool can be added today with viscose and bamboo fiber. Their utility properties have been tested by various climatic conditions over many centuries. However, they cannot meet the requirements we expect from the fiber today – they must be light, strong, flexible, pleasant to touch, non-absorbent, well-drained water, also cool in the summer and warm in the winter, thermally inert. They must be resistant to bacteria, molds and insects and must be well maintained.

Natural materials, however, have a high absorbency compared to synthetic fibers. An exception here is a wave which, even with a high absorption, does not awaken, unless you can do more than it can handle. Body moisture is stored in the fiber structure and evaporates very slowly. It’s the same speed as drying after washing.

Merino sheep’s wool is very fine and its 14-16 micron fibers are acceptable for sensitive skin. Stronger fibers are not suitable for linen production. The wool absorbs odors and has a self-cleaning ability, no particles of dust or dirt fall on the fibers. Current technologies can better classify the wool, and only high-quality reflective yarn is produced from the longest fibers.

Reflective element is important at the dark

When Liberty, as the translation of their original name, got into my hand, the orange-yellow translucent outsole caught me immediately and saliva sprang from the corner of my mouth. These boots with reflective material in my mind opened some long-buried door, behind which the memories of almost four decades crashed. Drive around in town, roundabout, shooting range, sugar wool. I’m yelling, yes, that’s the thing that reminds me of the outsole! I just slowly and reluctantly pull my denture rubber out of the rubber outsole and realize that I should rather run in my shoes. It was worth it? Was it an experience? Was it going to be a serious gang?

Without wanting to be somehow unhealthy pathetic, the Saucing manufacturer in Indian America has been making me very happy lately. In the winter season with its Red-Black Razor warriors and now this?! That shoe is beautiful, no one. But she is so healthy. From the first few miles I notice that my legs are working differently. They leap from the asphalt as if they were an antelope. Something must be with that sole!

Cheap Chinese running shoes from the Internet are not worth it

I’ve already noticed that Saucing is not afraid to go into anything altogether differently than everyone else. This applies immediately to the uppers. “Knit” (a highly structured “knit” fabric, durable, adaptable, often from a single yarn) is used today by anyone who wants to stand in the world of running. But here they go on their own. A single toe passes into eleven protrusions that form a catch system for flat laces. The futuristically exfoliated language actually creates its entire unified platform, protruding from below and embracing the entire instep. He does not have the chance to move, jerk and make mischief while running. After shopping, the bag will surprise you with a pair of laces. You can replace the standard turquoise under the yellow, nicely matching the yellow part of the outsole.

The boot is built mainly for those with neutral upsurge (and inclination to minimalism). The tip is wide enough, knitting the upper adjusts to the leg. The heel is supported only very softly – soft and pleasant support frames. The tip is reinforced with a protective rubber spray. The manufacturer has not even conspired on reflective elements, which on this shoe are, at first glance, very unobtrusive. In the light of the darkness, the pair of relatively large reflective logos on the sides of the shoe and one on the heel instantly blinks out of the darkness.

The sole is probably the most interesting on the shoe. When you overcome – like me – the initial desire to eat it, you will find that it is from a well-balanced rubber (the manufacturer always tells it) and Freedom is the first of the collections that have it all along the shoe. What do I think of a “balanced” rubber? Good shock absorption combined with a good response, reflection from the pad to the impact, all the talk about energy recovery, energy saving, wonderful reflective element and more you understand exactly when you call Freedom and run as if you are The hips had a hump, and yes, another reminiscence in the pilgrimage: Hopper a small rubber ball, which when you hit the ground in a small enclosed room, you enjoyed a lot of fun.

Overall, Freedom’s aesthetics are very erratic, and running is simply rewarding. If the distinctive hop effect lasts for the lifetime of the shoe (and there is nothing to suggest that it should not be), it will be a great deal. The look looks quite robust, but the weight is actually pleasantly low. Over a hundred miles, he left little traces on the outer edge of the soles and under the knuckles of his fingers. Overall, I rank this product into the “boot to eat” category, and I think it’s right, a very comfortable, fast shoe that looks good too, and so its price will probably be the only thing that brothels you. Seriously enough, but what if the price is balanced by a good deal?

Smart clothes with reflective material

Sales of technology products incorporated into clothing, called ‘wearable’s, will reach 135 million Euros in 2018 in the world, according to augur international experts who will meet in Barcelona next week.

At the meeting, promoted by the Technological Center of Catalonia Eureka, it is planned to analyze the opportunities of this type of technology.

Experts estimate that the opportunities offered by smart and functional clothing and reflective fabrics will drive sales to increase from € 9.7m in 2013 worldwide to only € 5.2m in 2013 – to € 135m in 2018.

The Eureka Center has developed or participated, among other projects, in the creation of prototypes of a heated cycling jersey, a body to prevent lumbar injuries or a shirt that measures vital signs and perspiration.

He has also developed clothes that control people’s emotional reactions, a shoe template with sensors that prevents falls, gloves with solar heaters and a bag that lights with solar energy.

According to a Eureka spokeswoman, Effect explained that this technology center in Catalonia is a pioneer in the world of electroluminescent technology, which allows lighting and flexible objects without the need to focus with light as it does with current reflective elements. Smart textiles, with a demand that reaches 75% in the case of young people who say they want to use technology incorporated into clothing, “offer significant opportunities thanks to the development in the miniaturization of electronic components,” explained the researcher in design Textile Oscar Temuco, coordinator of the meeting.

According to Temuco, “functional fabrics can already be seen, architects and agro textiles, but also in professional clothing or sports applications and in the field of health.” In order for this future to become a reality, according to Temuco, “a great transformation is necessary involving agents from multiple disciplines and levels”, where “innovation must be part of both the production process and the design process or Business models “.

The event, organized by the Dutch embassy in collaboration with ADI-FAD, Eindhoven University of Technology and Eureka, will be attended by experts from the textile world, fashion design or textile and experts in ‘wearable’s or technology applied to the textile sector. The director of the Research and Textile Center of Carnet de Mar (Barcelona), Miguel Solar, plans to present functional fabric capacities, and Eureka Business Director Miguel Rey will share the initiative Reimaging Textile, the collaboration network That connects the main agents to place Catalonia as a reference in this new textile revolution.

According to the experts, “it is a textile revolution, driven by new reflective materials, production processes and channels, proliferation of data, devices and sensors and hyper connectivity.”

Use lights and reflective vest when using the bicycle

Immaculate Rudi Vertigo has succeeded in the cold Victorian morning that a hundred political representatives and citizens take their hands out of their pockets to sign up for a triple commitment to collaborate in the end of the tragedy of traffic accidents.

Security Adviser Stefanie Heredia, Mayor Javier, Traffic Director and the sub delegate of the Government Anton Saenz de Santa Maria, ex-mayor Jose Angel, athletes like Enact Llanos, ex-cyclists such as Josepha and Juan Carlos Salvador, partners of Stop Racism and citizens in general have assumed not only the commitment to avoid driving after having drunk or not to use the mobile, to use lights and reflective vest when using the bicycle and to respect the parking spaces for disabled people, but to extend These good practices to at least one other citizen.

Rudi has participated in the central act of Stop Accidents in Esaki celebrated in Vitoria in which it has been recalled that during 25 people have died in traffic accidents, 9 of them pedestrians.

Stop Accidents has celebrated the World Day in Victory of Victims of Road Violence in the Vitoria Renaissance Square in an extensive event sprinkled with messages, complaints and feelings. A large mural called the ‘Tree of Desires’ became the permanent reference for each of the interventions because photographs of some of the people who had died in traffic accidents had been placed there. It remains all of people to care more about the road safety and keep them safe.

The Basque association, in a communiqué read in Eskers and Castilian, demanded that those affected by these events should be exempt from paying court fees when they see the need to plead before the Justice and also to address a modification of the Penal Code that raises Imprisonment for drivers who have committed a criminal offense. Normative changes that added to the commitments started by Imam Rude and to those who were pointed, finger high, almost all present.

TEST: New design reflective Jacket

Previously we have shown you some product of Vulpine, a British brand of urban cyclist clothing that stands out for the elegance and quality of each and every one of its garments. Anyway, if there is one that shines on the rest in your collection that is the Harrington jacket.

It is one of the first models that this firm launched and has maintained in its collection since its inception, only five years ago, improving it if it fits season after season. This jacket is undoubtedly the flagship of Vulpine, which has been expanding its range with different versions: the Harrington Rain Jacket, available for both men and women, which stands out for its impermeability; The British Harrington, an adaptation of the former for dry days; And the British Waxed Harrington, an exclusive variant that protects against rain and shelters a little more than the previous ones.

Before we begin to tell you our impressions about the British Harrington (or Lightweight Harrington), the model we have tested, we think it is worth making a quick review of the history of this reflective jacket, whose birth goes back to the 30’s of the 20th century . And is that its unmistakable aesthetic was popularized especially from the 50’s when myths like James Dean and Elvis Presley used it in the movies. Later, this iconic design was dressed in British television, by urban tribes like the moods and by stars of the stature of Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra or Paul Newman. It is easy to understand therefore that the style of the Harrington has endured until nowadays already become a classic of the fashion.

But focusing on the model created by Vulpine, we must highlight the great work of the English brand to adapt this jacket to a cycling. Keeping its characteristic image, this model has a cut designed for all those who ride a bike around the city without giving up to dress with elegance when they get off their mount.

Slightly longer on the back to cover the lumbar, tight but not in excess, with long sleeves and asymmetrical cuffs to fit the user’s grip on the handlebar … Everything is designed in the British Harrington to offer comfort and good performance While pedaling.

Made in British Mille rain cotton fabric, its lightness is spectacular, but also protects us from the air when we roll at high speeds. In this sense, it should also be noted that even the YKK zippers of the two useful side pockets and the front (two-way for more convenience) prevent the passage of air or water.

Another aspect in which we have been pleasantly surprised by this vulpine jacket is that of ventilation. Its fabric is quite breathable, bearing in mind that with an urban use it does not sweat as much as on the road, obviously. In addition, the recognizable drawing of his shoulders hides openings in its rear that allow the passage of air and cool the interior.

We cannot fail to mention other interesting details such as chest and back pockets, both with flap and button closure; Reflective material rear trim for added visibility and safety; Or the adjustment buttons on the sides, to narrow the waistband of the jacket.

Vulpine has taken care of every detail of the British Harrington with utmost care, from zippered leather pulls or covered seams or the labels themselves. And we could qualify this jacket an authentic haute couture. Not surprisingly, its price reflects this: 295 pounds, which at the exchange is about 340 Euros. It is within reach of a few, but certainly a jacket as exclusive and of such quality as the British Harrington.

New techniques by reflective material of against paparazzi

Many celebrities will be happy with this news. He ran out of running like people when he saw a camera or put on ridiculous wigs to mislead the paparazzi. The new technologies are combined with the privacy of celebrities and new anti-paparazzi appearances such as reflective jackets, dresses that fade or bags that blind photographers. Little tricks that will make the life of the paparazzi a little more complicated.

A few days ago we saw Patricia Condi coming out of court with a brunette wig, a wool cap, a scarf and sunglasses, in the purest spy style of the KGB. If the Killer Karaoke hostess had met some of the new inventions against the paparazzi, she would have been much calmer.

A little by accident, the North American DJ Chris Holmes discovered that the reflective garments that he used in his performances prevented him from showing his face in the photos that his fans made at the concerts. In this way the “Anti Paparazzi Collection” was created, consisting of a coat, a jacket and a scarf made of a reflective material that, when the camera flashes on them, glow until they hide the user’s face.

He is not the first “inventor” who puts his cunning in the service of celebrities. The designer Ying pulled out the Playtime technology collection a year ago: “If someone tries to photograph or engrave the dress, it fades, making the result blurry.” For its part, the brand of handbags Cam flash launched a design with LED lights, capable of emitting when the user wishes a beam of light that blinds momentarily to photographers. Goodyear Tire Company advanced the guidelines of a photographer-proof car with a folding tunnel to get out of the car, smoke screens or co-driver costume.

Of course the celebrities and have spent years using good tricks to give the corner to the paparazzi. Roman Baranovichi, one of the world’s richest men and owner of Chelsea, installed a laser on his yacht, the world’s most expensive and largest, to prevent paparazzi from taking photos of him and his guests on board.

The story behind the reflective vests worn

From Quileute, Marcela Gonzalez sends us the following information:

Following the information released Tuesday through various media, the President of Chile’s Volunteers, Marcela Gonzalez, clarified the real reason why Quileute dogs wear reflective vests.

“On August 27th, together with Chilean Volunteers in Quileute, we carried out an activity called” Brigand ulna “.

As the day unfolded, the police officers observed very gratefully what we were doing and told us that they had a couple of dogs in the police station who could do with the reflective capitals.

We gave them a pair of capita so that their dogs could be warm, the real cause of the campaign. And so, Carabineers had access to the reflective clothes that today dress their dogs in Quileute.”
