The thicker the down jacket, the better! 6 steps to help you choose the best down jacket

It’s getting cold

How to survive this long winter?

What can help you in need?

I can only count on down jackets

But... this bulging bloated

Uh (⊙o⊙)

But when the temperature finally beats the demeanor

It’s time for it to appear

A group of stars demonstrated it in person

Demeanor is no longer the primary need!

You mortals, just bow to the temperature

Then do you know how to choose A Down Jacket that is slim and not ugly?

Let's start with the misunderstandings

Misunderstanding 1: The higher the down content, the better

When choosing a down jacket, the first thing we look at is the down content

Remember, the down content of a down jacket cannot be less than 50%

And the higher the down content of a down jacket

the better the warmth effect

But if we choose a down content of 70%-80%

it is completely enough to fight the winter

Misunderstanding 2: Thick and heavy ones are warmer

It should be reminded that you should choose a lighter one

Don't choose a down jacket that is very heavy and filled with a lot of down

Such a down jacket will not be very warm

Because as the filling density increases

The heat loss through the filling material also increases

Fluffiness The higher The Down Jacket, the more insulating air is contained in the down, and the better the insulation performance is. This is why many people like to buy lightweight down jackets in recent years. The warmth effect is also very good. Here is a reference index for you. If you buy down jackets online or on the market, the down jackets of normal price have a fluffiness of about 450 to 500. The fluffiness of slightly higher-priced down jackets can reach 600 to 900. Relatively speaking, the fluffiness of goose feathers is better than that of duck feathers. For example, if the space occupied by 30 grams of down is 600 cubic inches, the fluffiness of the down is called 600. Misconception 3: No feather stems are good. Regarding feather stems, it is normal for high-quality down to contain fine hair stems. You touch the down jacket and it is very soft, and you can't feel any stems. Then I remind you to be cautious. Be careful not to buy down cotton! ... Some bad manufacturers will use scraps, fluffy cotton, and broken feathers as fillings to deceive you. These down jackets not only fail to achieve good warmth retention, but also may not meet the disinfection and hygiene standards of duck and goose feathers. Don’t worship me too much! (￣┰￣*) But it’s just a common misunderstanding. Next, I will talk about the most important thing: how to judge the quality of down jackets! ! ! !

Take a look

When you look at the details page online, pay attention to the product quality label, test report and other information on the page

Also carefully check whether the down type,

down content and filling amount are clearly marked on the label

So you will have a good idea when you buy

Touch it

If you touch a good quality down jacket, it will feel very soft

You can rub it to feel complete feathers

There are not too many but very soft feather stems

This is a very high-quality judgment standard

Press it

Then come to this step

We press the down jacket with our hands and then release it

It can rebound quickly to its original shape, indicating that the fluffiness is good

If the rebound is poor and it feels heavy in the hand

It means that the down content is a bit low

It may be mixed with a certain amount of feathers or crushed feathers

You must pay attention when buying

Take a picture Pat

After pressing, pat the down jacket hard again

If you find that some down is coming out or dust is overflowing from the stitches

This means that the fabric of this down jacket is not good at preventing down from drilling

Or the sewing needle hole is too large

Down jackets like this will become thinner and thinner after wearing for a long time

Isn't it great?

But such down jackets will have poor breathability

After wearing for a long time, sweat is not easy to dissipate and will be stuffy on the body

Also, it is not easy to dry after washing

Once the down is damp, it will deteriorate to varying degrees

Or breed microorganisms

Smell

Next, use your nose to get close to the down jacket and smell it carefully

If you can smell a distinct odor

It is very likely that it is filled with inferior down

We can't consider this kind of obvious odor

Due to the lack of high-temperature disinfection and other procedures, it may produce odor and germs, which may cause disease

Weigh it Weigh

Finally, weigh the down jacket in your hand

See how heavy it is

Comparatively speaking

The lighter and larger the better

Finally, pay attention to the tailoring when buying

The more grids used to fix the down, the better

Otherwise, after washing several times

The down may clump and droop in a gourd shape

After all, a down jacket is quite expensive

It is recommended to buy a good version

It can perfectly carry your waves and is durable

No, no, no, it's not over yet

Talk a little bit more, a little bit

Focus and make a small stool

Tips Choose the type

If you plan to take a long trip in winter

It is best to choose a small and light-weight down jacket

You can compress it and put it in your backpack

That is the lightweight down jacket we mentioned at the beginning

Save a lot of space for your trip

For those who need to stay in cold environments for a long time

It is best to choose a long down jacket with more wear-resistant fabric

There are more pockets to hold personal belongings

The hat should preferably have fur edges to prevent wind

If you choose a down jacket vest to wear inside

You should choose a relatively close-fitting one

And try to choose a lighter one

This way you won’t be too tired or bloated when wearing it

This winter, we have to wear the warmest down jackets

To spend the coldest days
