According to the price of down jackets in the market, the order is: white goose down >; Grey goose down > white duck down > grey duck down. It may be influenced by the price ranking, so many people think that these cashmere are ranked in this way in quality, but they are not. Through the theoretical research and practical experience of down, generally speaking, goose down with the same quality and down content is better than duck down in terms of warmth and bulkiness.
Second, the fabric type:
1, waterproof coated (coated) fabric
This kind of fabric is somewhat similar to jacket fabric, which is waterproof and breathable, and is generally used for professional down jackets in high mountains. But the difference is that the fabric as a whole will be lighter and softer than the jacket fabric.
In addition, because down jackets are generally used in cold environments, mainly for the melting of ice and snow solid water, the requirements for water resistance of fabrics are not as high as those of jackets, and most down jackets with waterproof fabrics do not need gluing.
Another thing to note is that some low-priced down jackets use airtight coated fabrics to prevent cashmere from leaking. If you just wear it every day, you can barely consider it.
2, high density waterproof fabric
The density of the fabric itself is very high, generally above 290T t, and then through the post-treatment process of high-temperature fusion fabric, the cracks of the fabric are reduced and the cashmere resistance is improved. The lightness and softness of the fabric is the highest among all down jacket fabrics, and it has the properties of wind-proof, water-repellent and breathable.
This kind of fabric is the most widely used fabric for down jackets and down sleeping bags, but the level of post-processing technology has a great influence on the cashmere resistance of the fabric. At present, some outdoor brands use ultra-light and fine materials to increase the waterproof function of down jackets.
3. Ordinary woven fabrics are low-density nylon or polyester. When making down jackets, adding anti-cashmere on the inner side of the fabric can play the role of anti-cashmere and has good anti-cashmere performance.
The disadvantage is that the flannel affects the softness of the down jacket and increases the weight of the whole garment. Most importantly, if inferior anti-flannel is used, the permeability of down jacket will be greatly reduced, and the anti-flannel is easy to break or agglomerate after washing. Another way is to do anti-cashmere treatment, and its process is to brush a layer of anti-cashmere glue on the inner layer of the fabric, which has poor hand feeling and is airtight.
4. In recent years, glossy patent leather fabrics have appeared again. Lacquer leather is painted on leather or PU leather, which is characterized by luster, softness, waterproof, moisture-proof, difficult deformation and easy cleaning and care. This kind of fabric is bright in color and fashionable, suitable for both men and women, and is very popular with young people who are pursuing fashion.
Extended data:
How to distinguish the quality of down jackets;
1, look at the filling. The most common fillers in down jackets are goose down and duck down, including white goose down, gray goose down, white duck down and grey duck down. Generally speaking, larger and more mature birds have better down quality and stronger warmth retention. So generally speaking, goose down is more fluffy and full than duck down, and it takes longer to use.
2. Look at the filling quantity, which is also the filling quantity. Filling amount refers to the actual weight grams of feather+cashmere, which is related to the size, length and style of clothes.
The cashmere filling amount of general outdoor down jackets varies according to the target design. The higher the filling amount, the more the filling amount, the more still air it can hold, and the stronger the warmth retention.
3, look at the fluffy degree, fluffy degree is also an important factor to determine the warmth of down. If the space occupied by an ounce of down is 600 cubic inches under the specified external environment, the fluffy degree of the down is said to be 600.
The higher the fluffy degree of down, it shows that under the same down filling amount, down can fix a larger air layer for thermal insulation, so the better the warmth retention of down. When shopping, you can put several fancy down jackets together and press the surface of the clothes with the same strength. The faster the rebound time, the better the quality of down jacket and the warmer it will be.
4. smell it. Don't forget to smell the down jacket. If it is pungent or has a strong smell, it means that there is something wrong with the washing process. It may be that the filler or fabric has been treated, and this kind of clothing may irritate the skin.
