Why Don't The 600 Yuan Down Jacket Keep Warm &Nbsp; Do You Know The Fluffy Degree Of The Down Jacket?

Taking advantage of the Christmas discount, Miss Yang bought a down jacket of more than 600 yuan after shopping in the mall. After wearing it for two days, she had some clothes. depressed Now.

"It says 70% of the velvet content, but I don't feel warm at all. My colleagues say that this dress doesn't feel like 70% of the amount of cashmere, and it's not worth the price. Miss Yang is in doubt. Is the amount of cashmere contained? Judge A down jacket quality The only criterion?

The price of down jacket varies from several hundred to several thousand.

It seems to be the choice of many people to buy a down jacket to keep warm in winter. However, few people know how to choose a warm down jacket.

Yesterday, reporters in Yintai, Jie Bai and other large shopping malls to understand, down clothing is basically divided into two kinds, one is the professional production of down clothing manufacturers, the other is a clothing brand sales products contain down clothing. The price ranges from several hundred yuan to thousand yuan or even several thousand yuan. Generally speaking, the price difference between domestic down jacket and imported down garment is quite different.

For outdoor brand The north face (North), it contains 90% cashmere, stuffed gray goose, 124g filling, and 2998 yuan for shopping malls, while the men's down garments of domestic brands, including the cashmere 70%, feather 30%, stuffed gray duck down, do not indicate fluffiness, and the store sells for 498 yuan.

Even the salesperson doesn't know the fluffy.

"As an ordinary consumer, God knows what stuff is inside, which is the most difficult and the most difficult for consumers to separate." Yesterday, Mr. Chen, who was buying clothes at a clothing counter, said.

"In fact, there are two important indexes for choosing a good down jacket, one is the filling amount (including the amount of cashmere), and the other is the quality of the fleece, that is, the fluffy degree". "The quality of the down garment is two." An outdoor sports brand manager said, but most of the brands of domestic down garments do not have the index of fluffy.

"The state has not asked for the bulky degree on the down garments," he said. "It is only required to indicate the filling, the amount of cashmere, the amount of filling, and the lining and fabric." This is why the domestic down jacket is often only labeled with the filling amount, but has no indication of the bulky degree.

Reporters interviewed randomly in the mall. Apart from a few brands indicating fluffy degrees, they also included several well-known salesmen who were well known, and it was not clear what the fluffy degree of down garments was. Most consumers only know that they need to inquire about the amount of cashmere, and rarely understand the concept of fluffiness.

"Buy down clothes, at most is asking salesmen to pile up too much. How much percent of the velvet?" The water of the down jacket is too deep, Ms. Li said.

Fluffy represents the quality of down garments.

Li said, how to choose a quality down garment and start from what is down.

Why is the eiderdown warm? Because eiderdown is an animal protein fiber, and there are tens of small triangular stomata on feather spherical fibers, which can expand with the temperature change and shrink, and generate the function of regulating temperature. It can absorb the hot air emitted by the human body, isolate the invasion of the cold air outside, and keep it warm.

Therefore, there are two important indexes to measure whether a down jacket is warm or not.

In fact, the filling amount refers to the weight of all the eiderdown filled by a down garment, that is, the proportion of down inside down. Li said: "at present, the average cashmere content of outdoor down garments is above 70%. This data shows that the content of cashmere is 70% and feather accounts for 30%."

Most consumers do not know that the amount of cashmere and cashmere represents the "quantity" of down garments, which really represents the quality of down garments.

Fill power refers to the volume of cubic inch in each ounce (30 grams) down under certain conditions. If the space of one ounce of eiderdown is 600 cubic inches, it is said that the fluffy degree of the down is 600FP. Bulkiness is a unit of measuring the thickness or fluffiness of down products, which is roughly related to the insulation value of down products. The higher the bulkiness, the more heat insulation the feather contains, so the better the insulation performance. The bulge value ranges from 175 cm2/g of feather (300 in3/oz) to 900 cm2/g of high quality down. High bulkiness is related to the proportion of down and down, and the average size of the fleece.

Manager Li said, "although there is no requirement for the fluffiness of the down garment when it is released from the factory, there will be a bulky value when it comes to the quality inspection, but ask the salesperson they will not really understand it. At present, the general price of down clothing, bulky degree is about 450-500, some of the higher prices of down clothing, fluffy can reach 600 or even higher.

Different prices of goose down and duck down

Picking depends on personal buying needs.

Feather down can be divided into goose down and duck down according to the source, according to the color is divided into white velvet and gray velvet. Of course, there is also a rare black velvet produced by Iceland ducks.

Goose down, large flannel, small feather stem, good quality, elastic feet, and strong warmth; relatively speaking, eiderdown, velvet and feather stem are worse than goose down, but their quality, elasticity and warmth retention are very high. "In general, the quality of down is large, so we usually think that goose down will be a little better than eiderdown." Manager Li said.

But the White Velvet and gray velvet only have a distinction in color, and there is not much difference in quality. Whether the stuffing is goose down or duck down, the down label will be written. But the goose down and duck down are not the criteria for judging the quality of the down jacket, Li said. There are many kinds of velvet, such as hanging velvet, special goose down, Hungary velvet, and so on.

For example, hanging velvet, the characteristics are: the velvet volume is quite large, the velvet silk is very long, the shape is very beautiful, the density of the pile core is not enough, and the recovery time after compression is short. Fluffiness can reach 800FP (FP). The characteristics of French white feather are: the velvet is small in size, the length of velvet yarn is normal, the volume is small, the volume of the velvet core is small, and the density is high. After compression, it can restore elasticity and hang down the velvet slowly, and the thermal insulation is also very good. Even in the cleanliness and odor grade, it exceeds a lot of goose down. Bulky degree can reach 650-720FP.

"Goose down is warm, and duck's heat is strong. Consumers can choose according to their purchase needs." Manager Li said.

How to judge the quality of down garments?

A. hope

Tell the waiter, what is the amount of cashmere, filling and filling of this garment?

Look at fabric: down coat fabric should have velvet, windproof and breathable properties, especially the velvet resistance is the most important. Generally speaking, the choice of TC fabric down clothing is better. At present, the down coats sold in the market are mainly made of nylon taffeta and TC cloth. The density of the yarn is above 230T, and 250T is the best. Next is to slap vigorously with hands, if there is a large number of fluffy flying, the density will be below 230T.

B. touch

If you touch down a lot of hair sticks, you can get a lot of feather. If you can't touch the hair pole, it may also be due to flying silk. At this time, it is rubbed down from the down jacket. If it is difficult to rub and disperse, then the stuffing is down. If it is quickly dispersed, it will probably be "flying silk".

C. fold

How to judge the fluffy degree of the down garment with no fluffy degree?

Manager Li said that clothes folding method can be used to judge. In fact, velvet is just like corn. A grain of corn that hasn't been popped yet.

For example, a low fluffy down down pile. A completely popped corn is a high fluffy down down pile. Although the weight is the same, it is clear that the "completely exploded" corn occupies a larger space.

To determine the fluffiness of a down garment, you can fold it up and empty all the air in your clothes and fold it to a minimum. The clothes can be restored in a short time, indicating that the fluffiness is high and the cashmere content is high. It takes a long time to restore the original condition, or it is difficult to restore the original condition. It is obviously low in fluff and low in fluffiness.
