Seven tips for choosing down clothes duck down and goose down are so different don't mix them up
4hw.org: who said that the bloated down jacket is not the favorite of the fashion world, and the stars are afraid of the cold? Even the most common down jacket in the Chinese opera, Liu Haoran can also wear it as a big brand. I have said so much. It's so cold that I don't want to buy a down jacket! What's the hole in buying a down jacket? Take a look at the warning below.
I. the filling of down jacket -- down
1. Classification of down
Generally speaking, down can be divided into two categories: duck down and goose down. According to the color, it can be divided into white down and grey down. In other words, the quality of larger and more mature poultry down will be better, and the fluffy degree of goose down is also better than duck down. Grey velvet is not easy to change color, so it is more popular with consumers.
Note: how to distinguish duck down from goose down
Because ducks are omnivorous animals, there will be a fishy smell in their fluff. Although it can be eliminated after treatment, you can still find some clues if you smell it carefully when you buy it. Geese are herbivores, and their fluff has no peculiar smell.
2. Technical indicators
A. down filling quantity: not an indicator to measure down quality, but only the weight of all down
B. down content: the specific index of down content. It depends on how much down there is in a down jacket.
C. fluffy degree: it is an important index to measure the quality of warmth preservation. The higher the fluffy degree of down, it means that the same amount of down can fix a larger volume of air layer to heat preservation and insulation, so the better the warmth preservation of down.
3. Methods of distinguishing advantages and disadvantages
A. in general, regular producers will indicate the ingredients of the filler in their products, and even attach a sample of down to the zipper of the down jacket. The last small-sized down jacket of the Antarctic looks like this.
B. knead it by hand - generally speaking, the handle of the hair stem does not obviously indicate that it has a high content of cashmere, otherwise, it has a low content of cashmere; however, it should be noted that if you can't feel any hair stem in your hands, the clothes may be filled with industrial waste - flying silk.
C. look at the springback of down jacket: it can reflect the fluffy degree to a certain extent. Press it down by hand and try how long it will take for it to return to its original state.
2. Several basic fabrics of down jacket
1. Waterproof coating (film covering) fabric
Advantages: similar to the material of the garment, it is waterproof and softer than the garment.
Disadvantages: poor air permeability, the most effective method used by unscrupulous dealers to prevent lint leakage.
2. High density waterproof fabric
Advantages: the lightest and softest one of all fabrics, with windproof, water proof and air permeability. The comprehensive quality is no worse than that of the brand charge coat.
Disadvantages: the performance of waterproof down is poor. I believe everyone who has bought brand down jacket knows that no matter how hard the brand is, the phenomenon of down leakage is always very common.
3. Ordinary woven fabric with anti flannelette
Advantages: excellent leak proof performance.
Disadvantages: the softness is poor, and the heavy ones are made of wood.
How to choose a warm down jacket (7 tips for choosing down jacket)
First look: whether there are product quality labels, test reports, etc., and whether the down type, down content and down filling quantity are clearly marked on the labels.
Second touch: a good quality down jacket feels soft to the touch. It has complete wool pieces, but not many feather stems. At the same time, it should ensure that the feather stems are thin and soft.
Three press: press down jacket by hand, then release it. If it rebounds back to its original state quickly, it means that the fluffy degree of down is good. If it has poor resilience and a heavy feeling in the hand, it means that the content of cashmere is low, or it may be mixed with a certain amount of wool flakes or crushed wool.
Four claps: Clap down clothes hard. If there is down running out or dust overflowing at the stitches, it means that the fabric has poor anti drilling property, or the sewing needle hole is too big, and the down clothes will be thinner. Some down clothing fabrics are waterproof without drilling down, but they have poor air permeability, water vapor is not easy to emit, and they are not easy to dry after washing. When the down is damp, it will produce varying degrees of deterioration, or breed microorganisms, and send out odor.
5. Smell: when the nose is close to the down jacket, smell it carefully. If there is obvious odor or odor, it may be filled with inferior down. It is recommended not to buy it.
Six heft: heft the weight of a down jacket. Comparatively speaking, the lighter the weight and the larger the volume, the better. ,
Seven craft: when buying, we should pay attention to cutting. The more grids used to fix down, the better. Otherwise, after several times of washing, down may agglomerate and droop like a gourd. People who plan to travel long distance should choose the down jacket with small size and light weight, which can be compressed and put in the backpack; people who need to stay in the cold environment for a long time should choose the down jacket with long style, wear-resistant fabric, and more pocket to put their belongings, and the hat should have the fur edge, which can be windproof; while the down jacket and vest that wear inside should be relatively close to the body.
IV. purchase mistakes
1. The higher the cashmere content is, the better
Generally speaking, 70% - 80% of the cashmere content is enough to meet our general needs. In fact, 80% of the same kind of cashmere has no significant difference from 90% of the warmth retention effect. If there is any, I would doubt whether it is the psychological effect. However, we need to pay attention to the cashmere content & Ge; 50%, which is necessary.
2. It's wrong that the thicker the down jacket, the warmer it is
Fluffy is the key to keeping warm. A good down jacket is not only light but also warm.
3. The softer the down jacket, the better
As mentioned above, 'flying silk', which is industrial waste. The goods are soft and boneless, just like the hands of little girls. They are also one of the representative works of profiteers who deceive our consumers.
4. Is goose down much warmer than duck down?
This is obviously wrong. It is undeniable that goose down is slightly better than duck down in warmth preservation, but it is not as much as the profiteers exaggerate. Goose down is mainly because of tasteless, low output, so the price is high, duck down is generally enough.
