Three Misunderstandings On Down Jacket

Just after the winter, the down jacket market began to heat up, "light" down jacket, windproof and breathable......

All kinds of slogans are dazzling.

Consumers can not help but wonder when they are buying, "is the light feather down clothing warm?"

For this reason, Beijing

Qu Fei, Deputy Secretary General of Specialized Committee of the association's down jacket, summed up several misconceptions about the purchase of down coats for consumers, and taught everyone how to pick warm down clothes.

According to the national standard of down garments, down garments must be marked with down feather, cashmere and cashmere.

The percentage of cashmere and cashmere yarn in the down is less than 50%.

The same kind of down garment with higher cashmere content has better thermal insulation effect.

However, Secretary General Qu Fei said that the average consumer's choice of 70% to 80% of the amount of cashmere can meet the demand.

Myth two: thick down jacket is warmer.

The amount of filling is the total weight of all the down garments filled with Down garments.

Related to the size, length and style, national standards do not impose mandatory requirements on this indicator.

But what needs to be reminded is that the more the filling, the heavier the clothes, the warmer the down jacket is.

As the filling density increases, the loss of heat is also increased by the conduction of the filling material.

Improving the fluffiness of down filling is the key to improving warmth retention. The higher the bulkiness is, the more heat insulation the feather contains, so the better insulation performance.

This is why some light down clothing on the market has been keeping warm in recent years.

Some of the eiderdown feathers are filled with woolen feather silk, velvet silk and crushed wool, even if the amount of cashmere is the same, its fluffiness also decreases.

At present, the general price of the down jacket, bulky degree is about 450 - 500, the price is slightly higher down clothing, fluffy can reach 600 - 900.

Myth three: down jacket feels no feather stems, the softer the better.

The Deputy Secretary General of Qu Fei said that in fact, the quality of down has certain limits of small hair stalks is very normal, if the touch is particularly soft, a bit can not be touched, such products should be cautious to buy.

Because some manufacturers will break leftovers, fluffy cotton and feathers, and then fill them in clothing as a feather to deceive consumers.

Not only can not achieve good thermal effect, health may not meet the standards.

Having learned the above misunderstandings, consumers are much easier to choose.

Here are some tips for judging the quality of down jacket.

A look: whether there are product quality labels, testing reports, etc., labels on the down type, including the amount of cashmere and cashmere volume is clearly marked.

Two touch: the down jacket with good quality feels soft and has a complete hairy sheet. It has feathered stems but not much. At the same time, it has to ensure the fine and soft hair.

Three press: press down the down garment with your hands, then let go.

If the rapid rebound is restored to the original state, it shows that the down is well fluffy.

The poor resilience and heavy feeling in the hands indicate that the amount of cashmere is low or may be mixed with a certain amount of wool or crushed wool.

Four Pat: beat down a down coat vigorously, if there is a down run or a dust overflow at the pin, then explain.

The down coat is too thin, or the stitch is too big.

Some down jacket fabrics are not duffed and waterproof, but with poor air permeability, moisture is not easy to distribute, and it is not easy to dry after washing.

Five smell: nose close to down jacket carefully smell, if there is a distinct smell or smell, it may fill the poor quality down, it is recommended not to buy.

Six weigh: weigh the weight of the down jacket, and the lighter the weight, the better the volume.

Finally, we should pay attention to the tailoring when buying. The more lattices for fixing down, the better. Otherwise, after several times of washing, the down may be lump and droop like a gourd shape.

Those who plan to travel long distances should choose the down jacket with small size and light weight, which can be compressed in their backpacks. Those who need to stay in cold weather for a long time should choose a down jacket with long, more wearable fabrics and more pockets to place their belongings.

It is best to have a burr, which can be windproof; and the inner garment of the down jacket should choose a relatively close fitting one.
