Years after buying down jackets need to be cautious

Down jackets in shopping malls are often priced at thousands of points, making ordinary consumers discouraged. Years later, many businesses marked the sale of down jackets, and some down jackets even as low as two fold, so many years ago, "squeaky" consumers just around the corner. However, the quality of the down jackets is now uneven, there are issues such as shoddy, false standards containing cashmere, etc., consumers need to polish their eyes and buy carefully.

Xiao Bian recently saw consumer complaints about a fashion brand's red down jacket in a forum. Reflecting the clothes bought before the Spring Festival, there were serious quality problems after wearing the Chinese New Year. Many cuffs appeared on the two cuffs, and they were not able to resist rubbing. When the hard objects touched, there was spinning.

There is also media coverage of a well-known international brand of a black down jacket nominal "filler 70% down, 30% feathers." Through the test of the National Garment Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, the actual amount of contained cashmere was 46.5%, far lower than the marked value. According to China's current standards for down products: the standard amount of cashmere in down jackets must not be less than 50%.

The netizen “like a dream” said: “If the down jacket bought around 300 yuan five years ago had 9 degrees Celsius, the branded down jackets that cost more than a thousand yuan to buy this year may not be 6 degrees Celsius. The higher the prices, the higher the down jackets are. The less warm it is, the colder!"

When it comes to the quality of down jackets, I have to mention several important indicators, including cashmere. The amount of cashmere is the content of down in the down, which is expressed as a percentage. Generally, the amount of cashmere is 50 to 80%. With high velvet content, the quality is good. At present, China is implementing the "National Standard for Down Clothing" (GB/T14272-2002), which stipulates that the amount of down clothing in down apparel products should not be less than 50%.

Bulkiness Bulkiness is an important measure of down warmth and refers to the value of cubic inches of volume per ounce (30 grams) of feather down under certain conditions. The higher the dullness of the down, indicating that down in the same amount of down-filling can fix a larger volume of air layer to insulate and insulate, so the down warmth is better.

According to the report on the analysis of the optimal filling volume of down jackets, the down-filling volume of down jackets is the key to directly affecting the temperature of down jackets. By testing the temperature of different down-filled feather pads such as 1g, 3g and 5g, it was found that the filling temperature was 1°C per 5 g. In general, what the human body can feel, the most comfortable temperature brought by clothes is about 32°C, but because the down jacket does not directly contact the skin, the temperature inside the down jacket reaches 25°C, which is the most comfortable temperature. If the thermal conductivity according to 5g down stuffing is 1W/m. When °C is the standard calculation, the down-filling amount of the down jacket must reach 130g to meet the highest comfort temperature standard of 26°C (the positive and negative difference of 25°C is 1°C). This is also the internationally recognized down jacket down-filling standard.

Many shopping guides of counters often do not take the initiative to inform customers of the amount of lining, or use the distinction between cashmere content and linting amount. Consumers are misled by the velvet content to exaggerate the effect of warming. Even when consumers questioned too thin and not warm enough, they would be stifled by "being crushed in the warehouse and fluffing up when they came home."

Buy down jacket tips 1, by hand to intuitive feeling: If you touch a lot of hair, then that business is doped with a lot of feathers. However, be aware that if you do not touch any hairs, it is very likely that you will use a fly-filled down jacket. Flying silk is sessile short silk hair that falls off feathers during down processing. It is poor in warmth, and it has no bulkiness. It is agglomerated after washing.

2. Observe the elasticity of the down: If the down hand is pressed and the hand is released, it will soon be fluffy and return to the original state, indicating that the bulkiness of the down jacket is good. If you press the hand and then let go of the down jacket or flat face, you may not be able to buy the down jacket and the warmth is very low.
