How to prevent the hood of a custom jacket from being blown off or blocking the line of sight on windy days?

? What is the most annoying thing about wearing a jacket on a windy day? It's not the rain hitting the body, but the disobedient wind hat! Obviously tightened the drawstring, a gust of wind came over, and the hat was directly overturned, like a cloth bag for a ride, frantically slapping the back of the head; or the hat was offset as a whole, directly covering half of the face, the field of vision was instantly cut off, and you had to touch the wall when walking.? To put it bluntly, an ordinary wind hat is just a decoration in front of the strong wind. But if you choose a professional custom jacket, the design logic of the wind hat is completely different. Today, let's not talk about fabrics, let's focus on the details of the wind hat, and see how the real anti-blow-off and eye-blocking custom solution is made.

? The first knife: three-dimensional cutting, reject "flat cloth"

The hood of many finished jackets is two-dimensional tailoring. When you wear it, it looks like a teepee tent. As soon as you turn the hat around, it will not move, and it will bulge into a balloon as soon as the wind fills. When Yasen customizes the jacket, the hood is all three-dimensional splicing. The? hat type will be divided according to the curve of the human skull and the inclination angle of the neck. For example, a transverse arc dart is added above the eyebrow bone, and a longitudinal dart is added at the back of the head. In this way, the hat "wraps" your head, not "covers" your head. With a high fit, the wind cannot find a gap to pour in, so it is naturally not easy to be lifted. And the brim part has been pre-bent and shaped. The stiff brim can effectively block rain and strong light, but it will not pressure the line of sight.

? Second knife: hidden multi-directional adjustment system, much more advanced than drawstring

The traditional hood is a drawstring, pull it hard, the hat is tight, but the face is also squeezed into a bun, and the line of sight is squeezed to only a seam. The adjustment system of the customized model is divided into regions and multiple points. In the design of Yasen Man, there are usually three key adjustment points: first, the knob adjuster at the back of the hat can be operated with one hand, tightening the wrapping degree of the back of the head and neck, without affecting the face; second, the invisible memory wire inside the brim, you can manually bend out the curvature you need, so that the brim is always two fingers wide above the eyes, no matter how strong the wind is, it will not be blown down to cover the eyes; third, the magnetic suction buckle or hidden buckle at the lower jaw, with the adjustable elastic rope, after buckling the hat is like growing on the head, and the head is not offset left and right.? The key is that these adjustment pieces are hidden, and the outer layer cannot see a thread, which is both beautiful and will not hook the branches.

The Third Knife: The Game between Lightweight and Cap Center of Gravity

Why do some wind hats look thick, but the wind blows like a kite? Because the center of gravity is too high! When selecting materials for custom jackets, the filling of the hat must match the body. Yasen Man's suggestion is: if it is a three-layer glued hard shell, the wind hat should not be thickened with cotton, supported by the stiffness and waterproof film of the fabric itself; if it is a soft shell or cotton clothing, the filling weight of the wind hat should be 30% -50% less than the body, and the quilting line should be encrypted to prevent the feeling of emptiness after running cotton.? In addition, the center of gravity of the hat must be pressed on the position of the posterior cervical vertebra, not the top of the head. After you put on the hat, touch it with your hands. The thickest part should be under the back of your head, at the junction of your neck and shoulders, so that the wind blows from the front and slides away along the arc of the hat, rather than pulling the entire hat back.

? Fourth knife: The length of the brim is exquisite, don't sacrifice the line of sight for the concave shape

Many outdoor brands make the brim long and pointed, like a platypus, in order to look good for photos. Daily commuting is okay, once it encounters heavy rain or strong wind, this long brim will shake violently due to the large force area, and the line of sight is full of fabric flying up and down. When customizing, the length of the brim is recommended to be controlled at 7-9 cm (adult models), and the front end should be slightly upturned by about 15 degrees. ✅ Yasenman's customization options, there is also a "rain curtain" design - add a hard windshield that can be stored above the brim, usually hidden in the interlayer, pulled out in windy days, it can form a wind breaking angle above the brim, guide the airflow upward, and the measured probability of hat tilting back can be reduced by 70%.

The fifth knife: the linkage design with the collar is the ultimate answer to prevent blowing off

The easiest place to turn the hood is not the top of the head, but the neckline connection. If the hat and collar are spliced and sewn, the wind will fill, and the gap will directly become the trend. The top customization will adopt the "one-piece collar" design, that is, the left and right pieces of the hood extend directly to the front chest, forming a cross structure similar to a scarf, and there are non-slip silicone strips inside to fit the neck. This makes it difficult for the hat to fly even without pulling the lower jaw strap. Yasen Man will also add a "storm ear protector" option when customizing: there are built-in bendable support pieces on both sides of the hat, which can cover the ears and cheekbones after being stretched open, but do not hinder the wearing of helmets or glasses.? The temple just passes through the gap between the support plate and the cap body, without pressing the temple at all, which is also a function designated by many cycling enthusiasts.

? Finally, how to test whether your custom hood is qualified?

Take a finished product, put on the hat, tighten all the adjustment systems, then bow down and quickly shake your head left and right. If the hat is not moving at all, and your peripheral light can clearly see the ground under your feet and the three-meter range in front of you, you are qualified. Another test is: stand in front of the fan, turn on the maximum gear, blow from the front and side for 30 seconds, and use the back of your hand to feel whether there is any air flow under the brim. Yasen Man's custom masters will use professional blast equipment to do simulation tests before delivery, and the delivery will only be counted if the data is up to standard.? They can also embroider your own logo on the inside of the brim, or customize reflective printing - running at night in the strong wind, the hat is blown up and the reflective strip is lit up, and the safety factor is pulled up in a straight line.

? So don't underestimate a hood, it determines whether you are "operating against the wind" or "in a hurry" in bad weather. Next time you customize a jacket, remember to throw the above standards to the designer. For truly knowledgeable customization, even the position of a hood buckle will be fine-tuned according to your face shape. After all, being able to watch the road elegantly in the wind is the most decent stubbornness of outdoor people.?
