The Down Label Is Always Shy.

Shen city temperature hit the freezing point, what kind of

[noun explanation]

Cashmere content: percentage of velvet and velvet in feather and down.

Velvet and velvet silk can also be collectively referred to as pure velvet duer, is the quality of the down, the more soft and warm part, the rest is relatively rough some pieces.

Generally speaking, the higher the ratio of pure velvet to eiderdown, the better the quality of the down, but at the same time, it also has the function of increasing the elasticity of down garments.

Filling weight: the total weight of feather down (including pure velvet and wool) filled in Down garments is an important indicator of the warmth of down garments.

The best eiderdown is not enough, the down jacket will be thinner, and the heat preservation effect will also drop.

Therefore, we can use the intuitive formula to measure the thermal insulation of the down jacket: the weight of pure velvet is = the amount of cashmere filling * the amount of cashmere is contained, the heavier the pure pile is, the better the performance of the down feather is.

Shopping spot

Businessmen talk about the amount of cashmere volume, customers do not know the amount of filling.

"Touch it and see if it is thick, soft and soft. Let's take a look at the high content of lint."

In the down selling clothing store of a commercial building on Nanjing East Road, Zhu aunt asked her to pick up his down jacket experience.

Reporters interviewed more than 10 consumers. Basically, like Zhu aunt, they only knew that they had to pay attention to the amount of cashmere, but no one would pay attention to the amount of filling.

The 40 items of down coats that the reporters viewed were basically marked with the amount of cashmere, but only a small number of them were directly marked out. For example, a down garment, a price tag and a certificate on the outside of the garment indicated that the filling was a gray duck down with a cashmere volume of 90%. But only when the lining of the down jacket was opened, could the "110 grams" filling amount of the label on the lower corner of the clothes be seen.

When asked about a garment, "the down is not much," many salesmen replied with "down very thick" and "90% of the velvet content".

The down weight of some down garments is 90%, but the amount of filling is very small.

For example, a large 1.8 meter down garment is marked with white goose down (including 90%), but the filling is only 94 grams. The other man's down jacket is retailing at 1342 yuan, but when the lining is washed, the filling volume is only 89 grams.

Some of the down garments are small and the price is unambiguous.

If the same is women's long white eiderdown down jacket,

Expert opinion

Filling about 150 grams is more suitable for Shanghai winter.

"If you want to keep warm, you should pay attention to the amount of cashmere and the amount of filling."

Shi Qin, director of the standardization room of Shanghai Institute of clothing, said that the "national standard for Down garments" (GB/T14272-2002) is currently implemented in China, which stipulates that the down weight of finished garments is not less than 50%, but the lower limit of filling is not set.

Since there is no lower limit on the amount of filling, how much is the most suitable? The experts from the China feather and down Industry Association (because the industry is more sensitive to the filling quantity, the expert does not want to be named), generally speaking, if it is used in the down clothing that the men wear more than 90% of the middle length of the buttocks, which is more often than the hip, if they are used to wear only one warm underwear and shirt in the down jacket, take the outdoor environment in the north about 0 degrees in winter, for example, it is suggested to choose the style of 180 grams or more.

In southern cities such as Shanghai, where the winter is 0 - 15 - C, the 150 - 160 grams of filling is more suitable.

For women's down jacket, with a popular knee length, for example, if you want to get a better warming effect, the amount of filling should be about the same as that of men, and it should be around 150 grams - 160 grams.

The two experts also believe that the size and style of the down jacket are quite different. Different consumers have different requirements for the weight of the down garment, and some of the down garments of the fashion category will also be thinner. This is also the reason why the national standard does not set down the lower limit of the down weight of the down jacket.

However, for the women's down jacket that the reporter found only 50 grams of filling, the Chinese feather down Industry Association experts believe that the weight of its cashmere and silk is only 35 grams, according to its 70% cashmere content, "definitely not suitable for outdoor wear in winter."
