    The assault jacket is one of our common items in autumn and winter. Whether you need to climb peaks, stroll through city streets, or camp outdoors, the assault jacket can provide an excellent wearing experience, making it a widely recognized clothing choice. However, due to the dazzling array of features of assault jackets, it's easy to suffer from choice paralysis. In the haste prompted by others' recommendations to "buy the most expensive one for a one-stop solution," one might not compare prices based on "specifications," leading to unnecessary spending.

Today, let's talk about how to select an assault jacket that suits you. 

  Origin of the Name "Assault Jacket" 

   The assault jacket was originally used for the final ascent to high-altitude snow mountains, about 2-3 hours away from the summit. At this time, climbers would take off their down jackets, put down their heavy backpacks, and proceed in lighter clothing, which is how the assault jacket got its name in Chinese. Nowadays, the assault jacket is not just exclusive equipment for extreme sports; it has become a new fashion trend, entering thousands of households.   How to Choose Assault Jacket Fabrics In the entire assault jacket system, the fabric has the greatest impact on the functionality of the clothing and is also the biggest factor affecting the price of the assault jacket. Assault jackets for extreme sports wear, although having impressive windproof, waterproof, and breathable functions, are generally not soft enough, create a lot of friction noise, and require layering with other gear to achieve ideal cold protection. Compared to this, everyday commuters and those engaging in light sports prioritize comfort, non-sweatiness, ease of movement, and less friction noise on top of basic wind and waterproofing.

  Once the required type and application scenario of the assault jacket are determined, one must consider the conditions the fabric needs to meet for different scenarios. Many people think that choosing the right waterproof-breathable technology is all that matters since this is the focus of technical competition among manufacturers. But that's not enough. Types of Waterproof-Breathable Fabric Technologies Windproofing is not an issue for professional assault jacket fabrics. The key for brands is to prevent water from wetting the fabric and to allow the "sweat" generated during hiking to escape. This can be achieved not only through DWR treatment on the fabric surface but also through composite membrane materials. Here are several common membrane materials on the market: ePTFE Membrane (Polytetrafluoroethylene): Has numerous micropores, allowing water vapor to escape but not liquid water to enter (unless under significant pressure), prone to contamination by sweat and oil. 

 ePTFE Membrane + PU: A protective polyurethane coating is added to the inner side of the ePTFE membrane to reduce contamination by oil and sweat, making it more durable but affecting its breathability. The polyurethane is modified to be hydrophilic, working only when slightly wet. 

 Oil-repellent ePTFE Membrane: Designed to be oil-repellent, it does not require a polyurethane layer for protection, thus more breathable but requires frequent cleaning. 

 Nanofiber Membrane: A polyurethane solution is sprayed from a nozzle, depositing on the surface in the form of nanofibers to form a porous waterproof-breathable thin film with high breathability. 

 Polyurethane (PU)/Polyester Membrane: They form films individually, with moisture passing through this layer by solid diffusion. Generally, they cannot be as thin as when bonded with an ePTFE membrane, so their breathability is compromised, but they are cheaper. Comparedly, nanofiber membranes made using nanospinning technology provide high breathability along with excellent elasticity without requiring much effort in fabric maintenance. They are the top choice for everyday assault jacket fabrics.   Surforce nanofilm is a type of nanofiber membrane. Through the stacking structure of nanoscale fibers, it effectively blocks the penetration of strong winds; meanwhile, based on this structure, a network of pores with a porosity rate of over 90% is formed within the membrane, providing excellent breathability and moisture permeability. 

   Fabrics combined with Surforce nanofilm offer both outer windproof and inner breathable and moisture-wicking performance, with the best windproof and breathable performance reaching the highest level - Grade III of FZ/T01149-2019. The product is used on the inner layer of the fabric, and Surforce nanofilm has a 100% elongation recovery rate, addressing the challenges of "poor breathability," "lack of elasticity," and "balloon effect" when wearing coated garments. Its ultra-high resilience does not affect the fabric's own elasticity, changing the situation where elastic knitted fabrics are not suitable for coating. Integrating advantages of warmth, waterproofing, high elasticity, and lightness, it perfectly balances outdoor protection functions and daily wearing experience. 

  If you are still hesitant about choosing the fabric for your everyday assault jacket, consider the Surforce nanofilm composite fabric. This fabric boasts superior warmth retention, effectively protecting against the cold, while also featuring waterproof, windproof, breathable, and high resilience properties, making it adaptable to changing climates. Additionally, it is durable and comfortable, able to meet your various activity needs over an extended period. This innovative approach to fabric technology, exemplified by Surforce nanofilm, represents a significant leap forward in clothing design. It not only enhances the functionality of assault jackets but also aligns with modern demands for versatility and comfort in apparel. 

   Whether for professional outdoor activities or casual daily wear, the choice of fabric plays a pivotal role in ensuring both protection against the elements and overall wearer satisfaction. Surforce nanofilm's composite material stands out as a leading solution in this regard, providing an exemplary model for future developments in the textile industry.
