Membrane clothes for children

Everybody knows about membrane clothing today. It was created for skiers, who needed warm and at the same time light equipment. Such clothing made of membrane fabric is convenient in that it excels the sweat perfectly and does not let the moisture pass simultaneously. Over time, membrane clothing began to produce for children, and it can be worn even by a newborn. Today, membrane clothing for teenagers is also popular, which is produced in winter and demi-season variants. For active children, membrane clothing is simply indispensable, because it is not voluminous and does not hamper movements. In such clothes your fidget is not afraid of puddles, nor downpour, nor wind, nor snow. He will not be cold in the cold, but if you go with the baby to the supermarket, he will not sweat.

Types of membrane tissues

Membrane is a material with variable properties. According to its structure it can be pore, without pores and combined, and by design distinguish a two-, three- and two-s-half-layer membrane. When you get a jumpsuit or kit (jacket and suits or pants), be sure to pay attention to the vapor permeability and water permeability of the fabric. If the product shows a water permeability of 20,000 ml, then this is an indication that even with a storm it will not get wet. The figure of 10,000 ml guarantees dryness in a heavy shower, and 3000-5000 ml is enough to prevent clothes from getting wet during normal rain and snow. For the usual climate in our country, 3000 ml will be enough for winter clothing and 5000 ml - an excellent indicator for demi seasonal membrane clothing, intended for spring and autumn. To ensure that the baby is dry during walks, buy membrane clothing with seamed special tape seams. She will not miss the moisture.

Vapor permeability is an indicator demonstrating the ability of a material to "breathe", that is, to remove evaporation from the child's body. Excellent, if it will not be less than 5000 grams per square meter per day.

Rules for wearing diapers

The use of this type of clothing requires a number of rules. In a good shop, you will be advised how to wear membrane clothing so that it fully performs its functions.

Under the membrane clothing should be worn two more layers: the inner (main) and medium. As the main layer use thermal underwear made of modern synthetic fabrics, excellent moisture outflow. In this case, a cotton sweatshirt can not be worn, because it will get wet with sweat and the baby will be cold. Fleece and wool - the best option. The middle layer (clothing from any material) is required when the temperature on the street is very low.

Care of membrane clothing

Care for membrane clothing has some features. After walking, the dirt is removed by the usual wiping, because the surface has a dirt-repellent properties. However, in the presence of strong contaminants, clothes must be washed. In our country, the membrane is a relatively new material, so you can often hear that moms doubt whether it is possible to wash membrane clothing, because all impregnations can be washed off with water and the product will lose its properties. But it is not so. It is possible to erase membrane materials, but only in water with a temperature of not more than 40 degrees. Before you wash the membrane clothing, you need to fasten all the zippers and fasteners on it. Remember, conventional washing powders, bleaching agents, conditioners and other additives that wash off the protective layer can not be used. You need to buy a means for washing membrane clothing, which contains a special substance DWR. Washing - only manual, and drying - in a horizontal form at room temperature. After washing, the product should be sprayed or impregnated on a water base so that the water repellent properties are restored. Do not wash membrane things often. At the end of the season, one wash will be enough.
