    16 Textiles in defence* Richard A Scott Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency, Science and Technology Division, Flagstaff Road, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS, UK 16.1 Introduction To be prepared for War is one of the most effectual means of preserving Peace (George Washington, 1790)1 Defence forces on land, sea, or air throughout the world are heavily reliant on tech- nical textiles of all types – whether woven, knitted, nonwoven, coated, laminated, or other composite forms. Technical textiles offer invaluable properties for military land forces in particular, who are required to move, live, survive and fight in hostile environments. They have to carry or wear all the necessities for comfort and sur- vival and thus need the most lightweight, compact, durable, and high performance personal clothing and equipment. The life-critical requirements for protecting indi- viduals from both environmental and battlefield threats have ensured that the major nations of the world expend significant resources in developing and providing the most advanced technical textiles for military use. 16.2 Historical background Military textile science is not new, and one of the earliest documented studies can probably be credited to Count Rumford, or Benjamin Thompson. Rumford was an American army colonel and scientist who issued a paper in 1792 entitled ‘Philo- sophical Transactions’, which reported on the importance of internally trapped air in a range of textile fabrics to the thermal insulation provided by those fabrics.2 He was awarded the Copley Medal for his paper, as the significance of his discovery was recognised immediately. * Copyright MOD (1997) DCTA, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS 426 Handbook of technical textiles 16.2.1 Pre-Twentieth century Up until the end of the 19th century military land battles were fought at close quar- ters by individual engagements.

  • How to Care for Technical Fabrics Adapted from an Article At
    How to Care for Technical Fabrics Adapted from an article at www.rei.com What's the best way to clean Gore-Tex and other rainwear? How about cleaning soft shells? Fleece? Wool? Wicking fabrics? Can any detergent do the job? This article covers care for all of these so-called "technical" clothing fabrics. Care Tips for Any Technical Fabric The following tips apply to all fabrics mentioned in this article: Read and follow care instructions provided with your garment. Basic care instructions should be either imprinted somewhere on its interior or on a tag stitched into a seam. (Sometimes these tags are hidden away inside pockets.) Additional instructions might be included on an information card attached to the item when new. If so, it's smart to save those instructions. Puzzled by those curious pictographs displayed in some care instructions? See the Guide to Fabric Care Symbols at the end of this article. Specific manufacturer instructions overrule any general guidance provided here. Presume that the manufacturer understands the fabrics it chooses better than anyone. Following their instructions validates the implied warranty you have with the manufacturer. Specialized cleaning products are available for most technical fabrics. Many manufacturers recommend the use of such products from companies such as Granger's, Nikwax, ReviveX and Sport-Wash. This is due to their ability to rinse cleanly from fabrics, leaving no residues from additives (which are common in grocery-story detergents) that can diminish performance. Close zippers, empty pockets, seal pockets and turn garments inside-out before laundering. Doing so minimizes the chance that fabrics will get abraded or have colors dulled while being cleaned.

  • The Rio Review the Official Report Into Ireland's Campaign for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games
    SPÓRT ÉIREANN SPORT IRELAND The Rio Review The official report into Ireland's campaign for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games RIO 2016 REVIEW Foreword The Olympic and Paralympic review process is an essential component of the Irish high performance system. The implementation of the recommendations of the quadrennial reviews has been a driver of Irish high performance programmes for individual sports and the system as a whole. The Rio Review process has been comprehensive and robust. The critical feature of this Review is that the National Governing Bodies (NGBs) took a greater level of control in debriefing their own experiences. This Review reflects the views of all the key players within the high performance system. Endorsed by Sport Ireland, it is a mandate for the NGBs to fully implement the recommendations that will improve the high performance system in Ireland. There were outstanding performances in Rio at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Olympic roll of honour received a new addition in Rowing, with Sailing repeating its podium success achieved in Moscow 1980, demonstrating Ireland's ability to be competitive in multiple disciplines. Team Ireland has built on the success of Beijing and London, and notwithstanding problems that arose, Rio was a clear demonstration that Ireland can compete at the very highest levels of international sport. Sport Ireland is committed to the ongoing development of the Sport Ireland Institute and adding to the extensive facilities on the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus. These are real commitments to high performance sport in Ireland that will make a significant difference to Irish athletes who aspire to compete at the top level.

    > MAMMUT CLIMBING 2020 SELBSTERKLÄREND, KOMFORTABEL, SICHER Kletterseile sind seit 1862 die DNA der Schweizer Traditionsmarke. Über 150 Jahre später ist Klettern Trendsport und bekommt stetig Zulauf von neuen Enthusiasten, die noch kein klares Material- Verständnis haben, deren Sicherheit für Mammut aber an erster Stelle steht. Grund genug, um die gelebte Tradition im olympischen Kletter-Sommer 2020 durch innovative Tech- nologien, neue Produkte in frischen Looks und eine neue Kletterseil-Systematik auf ein neues Level zu heben. > ALLER GUTEN DINGE SIND DREI Der neue Mammut ROPE FINDER Damit Kletter-Einsteiger wie Profis schnell und einfach das richtige Seil für den richtigen Zweck finden, geben die drei Kategorien ALPINE, CRAG und GYM künftig auf den ersten Blick Auskunft über die An- wendung: Während ALPINE-Seile beim Bergsteigen, Eisklettern auf Gletschertouren oder beim Skiberg- steigen zum Einsatz kommen, verwendet man CRAG Seile für Trad- oder Sportklettern am Fels. GYM Seile sind für das Hallenklettern konzipiert. Auch in der Frühling/Sommer 2020 Kollektion sind alle Seile von Mammut bluesign zertifiziert. Die Angabe, ob es sich um ein DRY Seil nach UIAA-Standard oder ein unbehandeltes, PFC-freies CLASSIC Seil handelt, findet sich ebenso im Namen des jeweiligen Seils, wie der Durchmesser, das Anwendungs- gebiet und die Konstruktionsart – entweder als extra robuste, langlebige Workhorse Variante oder als Sender-Konstruktion, extraleicht und hochperformant. Der Seiltyp, das jeweilige Gewicht und die Ab- riebfestigkeit sind im neuen ROPE FINDER übersichtlich mit dem genauen Einsatzzweck verbunden. Eine neue Punkte-Skala verrät zudem, wie abriebfest die Seile sind. Auch das neue Farbschema macht die Orientierung leichter: Für die ALPINE Kategorie wurden besonders leuchtende Farben wie Safety Orange oder Pink verwendet.
