FutureFinders spots key emerging trends and the products on Global Sources that drive these trends.
The first FutureFinders episode focused on the latest developments in the ever-evolving world of fashion.
Over the past several weeks, we have taken a closer look at the hottest fashion trends and how these are interpreted in key product groups:
- Functionality in sling bags and sneakers
- Sustainability in garments and bags
- Infusion of tech in garments and accessories
- Performance tech in antimicrobial and water-repellent fabrics
Today, we look at breathability, which measures how quickly moisture passes through fabric, keeping the wearer dry, cool and comfortable.
Commonly associated with water repellence, breathability is naturally found in certain fabrics or as a result of how the fabric is constructed, but can also be achieved via performance tech infusion.
Examples of the last are detailed in ScienceDirect, where several articles identify the additives and the methods used to apply them to make fabrics breathable.
Similar to , breathable fabrics are commonly used in active- and sportswear, summer and winter clothes, trekking clothes, work- and protective wear.
Over on GlobalSources.com, Verified Suppliers offer breathable waterproof fabric in a range of materials and constructions.
