A *** down jacket can not only keep warm, but also withstand the invasion of strong snowstorms. In 2020, the sudden 60-year cold winter hit this winter with cooling, strong winds, and cold waves, and even southerners were so cold that they wore down jackets.
The following are the key points to consider when buying a down jacket - what to focus on, remember to mark the key points.
A down texture.
2. Filling amount and down content.
3. Fill power.
Four fabrics. 5. Introduction of brand and cost-effective style.
Sixth, style design.
7. Personalized style.
A down texture.
There are many different textures of down, with duck down and goose down being the most common. The fluffiness and warmth of goose down are better than that of duck down, because goose down is higher than that of duck down, and the flowers of goose down are also larger. Friends in the north can choose goose down to meet their daily needs, and friends in the south can keep warm basic duck down if they are not particularly afraid of cold.
In terms of color, duck down can be divided into white duck down and gray duck down. There is no difference between the two types of duck down in terms of thermal performance, but white duck down is more expensive than gray duck down because gray ducks have more than white ducks. When purchasing, if it is a dark down, it is no problem with what color of duck down is used, after all, you can't see the color inside, if it is a light color, then you may see a darker gray duck down filling.
To avoid being pitted, it is necessary to distinguish between the amount of filling and the amount of down.
The amount of down refers to the meaning of how much down is filled in a down jacket in total, and it is measured in grams. Generally speaking, 100-300 grams of filling is more common, and 300-500 grams for outdoor use. Short down jackets are generally filled with 100-150 grams, and medium-length jackets are 150-250 grams. It is recommended that friends in the south wear about 100-200 grams, and colder areas in the north can choose 200-300 grams.
Two: [down content].
The down content is another indicator, which is the proportion of "fluff" in the down. This fluff is the finest part of the duck feathers, and "down" is the main warm material of the down jacket. The feather is the main part of the feather, and the fluff is softer at the edge, which has a better warmth effect, while the feather has less performance.
The down content must be higher than 60% in order to have a relatively good and warm effect, and the down content below 50% cannot be called a down jacket. The best quality down jacket can have a down content of up to 90% and above, but at the same time, it is also more expensive.
3. Fill power.
The fluffiness of the down is related to the question of whether the down is light, if the down is too strong, then it will look very heavy to wear, the higher the fluffiness, the more the duvet is fixed in a larger volume of air for warmth and heat insulation, simply put, the fluffiness and warmth are positively correlated.
The measure of fill power is the volume occupied by one ounce of down, and down jackets with a fill power of more than 600 are relatively light to wear. Considering the extremely cold and harsh weather, it is recommended to choose a fluffiness of more than 800 and a down content of more than 300g for outdoor adventures in the North and South Poles, climbing snow-capped mountains, etc., for better cold protection.
In my last article about the jacket, I also introduced the light of the domestic cost-effective product of Kaile Stone, a professional outdoor brand, high-quality fabrics, workmanship, and highly functional windproof, rainproof and warm three-in-one jacket that is very popular.
When we buy, we can also test the quality of down by "patting", "smelling", "shaking" and "touching".
First, if the down jacket can quickly return to its original shape by pressing and patting, it means that its fluffiness is high.
Second, by smelling, identify whether there is a peculiar smell, a good down has no taste after the sterilization and antibacterial process. If there is a peculiar smell, it means that the treatment process of the down jacket is not in place, and there is a potential risk of allergies to **. Qualified washed down will remove the odor.
Third, shake the down jacket to test whether it will lose or run hair. Fourth, by touching the way, if you touch a lot of wool stems, it means that the down content is low and the feather content is high, if it is easy to rub the down jacket apart, then the filling may be down, otherwise it may be inferior flying silk.
Four fabrics.
According to everyone's different wearing purposes, each kind of down positioning is different.
The washed cotton fabric feels soft, warm, and suitable for everyday wear;
The fabric of canvas can be waterproof and snowproof, and tends to be positioned as a professional outdoor sports.
Polar research workers need top-quality fabrics that are resistant to cold and wind in order to work in harsh environments. Therefore, it is necessary to use a high-strength multi-layer down jacket with waterproof, windproof, windstopper, and other protective type of down jackets.
If you want to go hiking every day, you need to be frost-resistant, and the fabric needs to be soft and easy to move.
For casual wear, you can focus on warmth and fluffiness.
With the advancement and development of science and technology, more high-tech fabrics have emerged, such as technology protection blue, which has the attributes of a chameleon, which can change with light, temperature and pollution. It is made of new silk nylon fabric with a holographic coating and reflective yarn, so it has high visibility and can be seen at a glance even in the dark. Integrating a sense of technology and fashion, the bright silver coating of tin foil reflective meets the consumer needs of young people who pursue cool and publicity.

Tips: Try to avoid washing down jackets, it is best not to use dry cleaning, the perchloroethylene used in dry cleaning will destroy the protein in the down, which is very harmful to the down. If you really want to wash, the drum washing machine, the wave wheel is also OK, the laundry bag is covered, choose the wool, soft and other modes, use neutral laundry detergent or down, wool, cashmere laundry detergent, and use the drying basket to dry flat to avoid hanging, so that the down will be deposited into a ball due to gravity. (*Dry clothes basket).

Sixth, style design.
How to choose a down jacket that suits your own style, you should match it according to your height, preference, and the length and style of the down itself. So what are the categories that down can be divided into, basically there are the following types:
According to the length, it is divided into short and long sections. Many people will think that the long down jacket will look bloated when worn, and the whole person will be fat, this is because it is not well matched. You can wear a light-colored skirt or black trousers under the long down, so that the exposed legs and feet appear the same color, visually connecting in a line. Or you can wear a hat to raise your gaze and look taller. Short down can be worn more comfortably, and small girls can also get it. Shorter outfits have more room to play, and you can choose not only long skirts but also jeans.
The bread-shaped down jacket looks more round and bulging, especially cute and sweet style, suitable for soft girls. The down in the waist series separates the upper and lower body, accentuating the waistline and increasing warmth. It is best to choose a built-in belt for the waist series, which visually lengthens the waist and legs. In terms of dark and light colors, there are not many restrictions, just don't exceed three colors overall, and choose colors in the same range with little color contrast.
Whether it comes with a hat or a fur collar, many down jackets will have a hat design, and it is a pullover design style with raw edges, and the texture and color of the wool will also greatly affect the outfit. The white fluff gives people a sense of purity and gentleness, and is more versatile. Brown fluff should avoid stepping on thunder, some very inferior coarse fluff not only has a peculiar smell but also is particularly easy to shed. It is advisable to choose a fur collar that can be removed and is easy to wash and maintain. The patterned style can be more lively, but it may bring a sense of swelling.
7. Personalized style.
Down jackets can be divided into Japanese college style, literary retro style, BF cool style, simple and sweet style, etc. Don't think that down jackets are synonymous with bloat, in fact, you can also wear an elegant literary style, try to choose light-colored short styles, such as versatile white, fresh light blue, gentle apricot, warm khaki, etc. The frock version of the down jacket can also look very lively in contrasting colors, the upper body is the perfect collision of down jacket ginger and plain blue, and the lower body is light blue jeans and yellow canvas shoes, which is full of vitality and cutie. If you are a young lady with a warm temperament, then it is also very good to wear a coffee-colored dress and apricot brown autumn shoes under the long apricot down.
If you are looking for a down jacket with a great sense of design, we recommend a Mackage down jacket. Introducing several styles with unique designs, oversized V-neck fur collars, which seem to have surrounded the whole person, extra-long slim down from the head to the ankles, and five stars for the cold protection index. The more eye-catching men's version is the hooded flight down, which is also the design appearance of the breadsuit, which looks capable and handsome to wear.
