As ordinary wage earners, when we buy warm clothes, we often find that different brands of down jackets** vary greatly, ranging from about 100 yuan to more than 1,000. So, behind this huge **difference**, what is the difference**?
As a clothing person, I will unveil this opaque veil for you today. From the following six factors, to *** the reason for the difference.
First, the difference in filling
First of all, we need to understand the core of the down jacket - the filling. The filling of down jackets is mainly divided into two types: duck down and goose down.
Of the two fillings, goose down has better insulation than duck down and is therefore relatively high. The duck down is divided into white duck down and gray duck down, of which the quality of white duck down is better, and ** is also slightly higher.
A down jacket of more than 100 yuan is likely to use lower quality gray duck down or inferior duck down, while a down jacket of more than 1,000 yuan is more likely to use high-quality white duck down or goose down.
Second, the difference in down content
In addition to the type of filling, the down content is also an important factor affecting down jackets**. The higher the down content, the better the warmth of the down jacket.
Generally speaking, a down jacket with a down content of more than 70% can be regarded as a qualified down jacket. The down content of high-end down jackets can often reach 90% or even higher.
A down jacket of more than 100 yuan may not be able to meet this standard in terms of down content, while a down jacket of more than 1,000 yuan is more secure.
3. Differences in fluffiness
Fill power is another important indicator of the warmth performance of a down jacket. The higher the fill power, the better the warmth of the down jacket.
Generally speaking, a down jacket with a fill power of more than 600 can be regarded as a good down jacket. The fluffiness of high-end down jackets can often reach 800 or even higher.
A down jacket with more than 100 pieces may not be able to meet this standard in terms of fluffiness, while a down jacket with more than 1,000 pieces is more likely to have a higher fill power.
Fourth, the difference in fabrics and processes
In addition to filling, down content and fill power, fabric and craftsmanship are also important factors influencing down jackets**. High-quality fabrics and exquisite craftsmanship can enhance the overall quality and wearing comfort of down jackets.
There may be a large gap in the fabric and process of a down jacket of more than 100 yuan, such as the use of thinner fabrics, simple sewing processes, etc. And more than 1,000 down jackets are more likely to use high-quality fabrics and exquisite craftsmanship, such as the use of windproof and waterproof fabrics, three-dimensional tailoring, etc.
Fifth, the brand premium
Of course, we can't ignore the impact of brand premium on down jackets**. Some well-known brands of down jackets are often high, which not only contains the value and reputation of the brand, but also includes the brand's investment in product research and development, quality control, etc.
Therefore, more than a thousand down jackets may contain a higher brand premium component. But this does not mean that all ** down jackets are supported by brand premiums, and we also need to consider other factors when buying.
6. Design differences
Some high-end brands of down jackets pay more attention to fashion and personalization in design, such as using unique cuts, chic neckline designs, etc. These design elements can not only enhance the fashion sense of down jackets, but also meet the needs of consumers for personalization.
And a down jacket of about 100 yuan may be relatively simple or even outdated in design. Of course, design differences are not a key factor in the warmth of down jackets, but they are still an important consideration for fashion-conscious consumers.
7. Summary
To sum up, there are significant differences between "more than 100 yuan" down jackets and "more than 1,000" down jackets in terms of filling, down content, fill power, fabric technology, brand premium and design.
When we buy, we should consider comprehensively according to our own needs and budget, not only to pay attention to the best but also to pay attention to factors such as quality and design. Only in this way can you buy a down jacket that is both affordable and satisfying and spend a warm winter!
