One of the major advantages hemp brings in is that it is resistant to water. No wonder such clothing becomes a big asset for the soldiers fighting in wet conditions as it promotes free body movements.

Being windproof, the hemp military uniform also helps soldiers adjust themselves to heavy winds with less difficulty. Besides, it can easily resist fire thus minimizing the risks during fire incidents. Hemp fabric is largely immune to infrared effects as well and during heavy sun it acts as a natural sunscreen.

The fabric also enjoys a decent resistance to bacteria and insects. All these qualities make hemp a natural choice for soldiers who undertake serious combat duties in an outdoor environment fighting not only the enemy but also the vagaries and extremities of the environment.

Researchers who have conducted an in-depth study of the plant say that it is a wonderful plant, which when converted in to fibre and then fabric has a moisture-absorption rate three times that of cotton and can kill bacteria attached to the fabric within one hour.

Other then the above mentioned properties, China hemp fabric can shield more than 95 percent of ultraviolet rays and does not fade even at 370 degrees Centigrade and does not also burn at 1000 degrees along with having excellent heat resistance and anti-UV properties.
