What are the skills of choosing down jacket
4hw.org: as the weather turns cold day by day, winter is near. All kinds of new down jackets have been put on the shelves in the clothing store. What do you want to see in choosing down jackets? Style and appearance are believed to be the first words in many people's minds. In fact, we are most likely to ignore the most basic functions of down jackets, that is, warmth preservation and portability. How to choose light and warm down jackets? Let's have a look!
Select the filling quantity according to the temperature. Industry insiders said that down content and down filling are important indicators of down clothing. Down content is the proportion of down flowers in down. In order to pursue 'light' and 'thin', light and thin down clothing has higher requirements for down content, which is generally more than 90%. The higher the down content, the lighter the weight and the better the warmth retention of the same volume down jacket. Down filling is the weight of all down filled by a down jacket. Take the down clothing with about 90% down content as an example. Generally, if the temperature is between 0 ℃ ~ 10 ℃, the autumn thin clothing with 76g / ㎡ down content can be selected; if the temperature is between - 10 ℃ ~ 0 ℃, the winter thin clothing with 92g / ㎡ down content can be selected. When the temperature is lower, the filling quantity needs to be higher. Of course, everyone's antifreeze ability and dressing habits are different, and the temperature between the north and the south is also different. So, it's better to see the product label clearly when choosing, try wearing it again to see if it's warm, and buy it according to your preference.
The higher the fluffy, the better. For light down clothing, puffiness is another standard to measure the warmth of down. It refers to the volume cubic inch of down per ounce (30g) under specified external conditions. An ounce of down takes up 600 cubic inches of space, which is called 600 fluffy. The standard of fluffy degree in China is 450. The more fluffy the down is, it means that the down with the same amount of filling can fix a larger volume of air layer to heat and insulation, so the better the warmth retention of down.
Industry insiders suggest that when purchasing, you can put several down jackets you like together, and use the same force to press and hold the surface layer of the clothes respectively. The faster the rebound time, the better the quality of down jackets, indicating a high degree of fluffy; it can't spring up or rebound very slowly, indicating that the quality of the filler is not good; if there is no rebound elasticity at all, the filler material is likely to be chicken feather or other comminuted feather pieces Not down.
There is little difference between goose down and duck down. The most common filling materials in down jacket are goose down and duck down, including white goose down, grey goose down, white duck down and grey duck down. Generally speaking, the bigger and more mature birds have better quality of fluff, which means they are more warm. The warmth retention of goose down is slightly higher than that of duck down, but the difference is very small, which can hardly be felt by human body. Zhu Wei said that because the production of goose down is small, the price is high; and the saying that white duck down is better than grey duck down in the market is not accurate. White duck down can be more widely used in light colored down clothing, but there is no difference in warmth retention between the two except for the color difference.
In addition, it is very important to observe, smell, pat and rub. Fabric: the fabric of light and thin down jacket is soft. If the fabric looks rough and the quality of the down jacket is not good at first glance, smell the peculiar smell: smell whether there is peculiar smell in the down jacket, and the pungent smell indicates that there is a problem in the quality of down jacket; pat the dust: pat the down jacket vigorously to see if there is any dust overflow. If there is no dust spillover, it is a good product; if there is dust spillover, it is a product made of crushed wool and other fake fillers; rub: see if there is any down jumping out, if there is a lot of down jumping out, it means that the fabric is not resistant to down, the more you wear it, the less warm it will be.
