With the continuous improvement of living standards, people are not only satisfied with winter clothing as long as they are warm, but also have new requirements for style, performance and quality. The first to be loved by consumers is down jackets, and jackets belong to the "rising star". When buying winter clothing, how do consumers choose?On December 13, the reporter learned from the Zhengzhou Municipal Market Supervision Bureau that the Zhengzhou 12315 Complaint and Reporting Rights Protection Center reminded consumers to pay attention to the following matters:
The new national standard for down jackets
The new national standard (GB T 14272-2021) will be implemented from April 1, 2022, and it should be noted that "down content" is revised to "down content", and the down content refers to the mass percentage of down in the down feathers, and the down content is not less than 50%, which can be called a down jacketThe types of down only distinguish between duck down and goose down, and can no longer distinguish between colors (gray or white);The evaluation method of anti-drilling and downing is modified from the original standard fabric velvet bag friction method to the garment transfer method, which evaluates the anti-drilling and down-resistance of the finished product as a whole, which is more in line with the actual wearing experience of consumers.
Key points for buying down jackets
Look at the label: regular manufacturers or brands of down jackets, tags or labels will have identification information, including the name and address of the manufacturer, product name and model, fiber composition and content, maintenance methods, implementation of product standards, safety categories, down content, etc., do not buy products with incomplete identification information. Heavy quality: high-quality down jackets are thin and soft, smooth to the touch, clean and tidy without impurities, and the fluffiness, resilience and windproof are qualified, while the inferior quality is the opposite. Smell: Down jackets are generally odorless or will have the smell of chemical fiber raw materials, and it is normal to have a small smell, so you should avoid buying clothing that is very irritating or has other peculiar smells. Ratio: If the average price is far lower than the market average, you need to be wary of quality problems such as the use of inferior raw materials by merchants, and the actual amount of velvet does not match the logo, and you should buy with caution.
The new national standard for jackets
Jacket refers to the use of waterproof and moisture-permeable textile fabrics, processed into clothing for outdoor sports.
