Down jacket filling amount label is always shy

Shanghai's temperature hits the freezing point, what kind of down jacket warm effect? What are the criteria for buying down jackets? This reporter recently visited the city's Sichuan North Road, Nanjing East Road, a number of shopping malls down jacket counters, view more than 40 models down jacket, found that different brands of down jacket down jacket amount is very different, less only 50 grams, more than nearly 300 Kg, and many people know very little about the important indicators of warmth in down jackets, such as "velvet content" and "linting amount."

[Glossary]

Cashmere content: It refers to the percentage content of fleece and cashmere in feather down. The velvet and velvet can also be collectively referred to as pure velvet, which is a high quality, soft and warm part of the down, and the rest is a relatively coarse nap. In general, the higher the ratio of pure cashmere to duvet, the better the quality of the down, but at the same time, the hair piece also has the function of increasing down jacket elasticity.

The amount of down-filling: The total weight of feathers (including pure flowers and hair pieces) filled in down garments is an important indicator of warmth in down jackets. No matter how good the down, the amount is not enough, the down jacket will be thin and the warming effect will be reduced. Therefore, to measure the warmth of down jacket can also be used in an intuitive formula: pure cashmere flower weight = velvet amount × cashmere volume, the more weight of pure cashmere flower, down warmth better performance.

High-profile shopping on-site merchants talk about cashmere customers do not know how much cashmere filling "touch, see thick, soft, not soft, and then look at high cashmere content is not high." Nanjing East Road, a commercial down clothing store, customer Zhu Aunt told his own experience of picking down jackets. The reporter interviewed more than 10 consumers at random, basically like Zhu Alu, only knows that buying a down jacket depends on the amount of cashmere, and nobody pays attention to the amount of filling.

Of the 40 jackets reviewed by the reporter, almost all of them were marked with cashmere, but only a few of them were marked directly with the amount of down-filled clothing. For example, a certain down jacket was marked on the price tag and the certificate on the outside of the clothes. It is a grey duck down with 90% cashmere, but only when the lining of the down jacket is opened, the “110 g” filling amount on the bottom corner of the clothes can be seen. When asked about a certain clothes "too much down in the end," a number of salespersons are using "very thick down", "containing 90% of the amount of cashmere" to answer, almost no initiative to introduce the amount of filling.

Some down jackets contain 90% of the amount of cashmere, but the amount of down-filling is very small. Such as an extra sized 1.8 meters section down jacket, marking the filling as "white goose down (90% cashmere)", but the amount of filling is only 94 grams; another men's down jacket, the retail price reached 1342 yuan, but open A look at the lining washed label, the amount of down-filling was only 89 grams.

Some down jackets have a small amount of filling, but the price is unambiguous. If the same is a long white down jacket women's down jacket, a brand of a "155/84A" model, containing 70% of the amount of cashmere, filling only 50 grams of cashmere, but after the discount price actually exceeded 1,700 yuan; The other brand, a "170/92A" model, contains 80% cashmere, the amount of filling down 275 grams, after the discount of 1078 yuan.

Expert opinion is about 150 grams of filling is more suitable for Shanghai winter. “If you want to keep warm, you need to look at the amount of cashmere and stuffing.” Shi Qin, director of the Standardization Office of the Shanghai Garment Research Institute, said that at present, China’s implementation is a national standard for down apparel. "(GB/T14272-2002), which stipulates that down apparel products, the finished product of the cashmere content of clothing not less than 50%, but did not set the lower limit of the amount of filling.

Since there is no lower limit on the amount of filling, what is the most suitable amount? Experts from the China Feather & Down Industry Association (because the industry is relatively sensitive to the amount of cashmere filling, the expert is unwilling to be named) stated that, in general, if the men wear more than just the middle of the buttocks, the 90% cashmere down jacket For example, if only one thermal underwear and shirt is worn in the down jacket, an outdoor environment of about 0°C in the winter in the north is taken as an example. It is recommended to select more than 180 grams of down-filling style. For cities in southern China, such as Shanghai, where winter temperatures range from 0°C to 15°C, 150-160 grams is more appropriate. For women's down jackets, for example, for the popular knee length models, to obtain better thermal effects, the amount of down-filling should be about the same as that of men's mid-length models. It should also be about 150-160 grams.

At the same time, the two experts believe that there is a big difference in the size and style of down jackets. Different consumers have different requirements for the thickness of down jackets, and some fashion down jackets are also deliberately made thinner. This is also the current state-owned standard down jackets are not provided. The reason for the lower limit.

However, for the reporter found that the amount of down jacket only 50 grams of women's down jacket, the relevant experts of the Chinese Down Industry Association believe that according to its 70% of the amount of cashmere, the cashmere, velvet weight is only 35 grams , "certainly not suitable for wearing outdoors in winter."
