Cold winter, we can not do without down jacket, but little understanding of it. "Life Times" reporter interviewed Beijing Textile Fiber Inspection Center Technical Director Zhu Hongliang, asked him to talk about when consumers buy down jacket, Some pitfalls to watch out for.
Material traps. Be sure to pay attention to label the type of feather, the most common feather is 'white goose down' 'gray goose down' 'white duck down' 'gray duck down' several goose down better than duck down Zhu Hongliang said goose down velvet Large and full, fluffy, more warm; goose herbivorous, duck omnivorous, so goose down the smell will be much smaller. There have been unscrupulous businesses marked 'chicken velvet', in fact, the chicken is not cashmere.
Color misleading.From the color terms, white, gray goose, duck down performance index is not much difference, but white goose down, white duck down prices are slightly more expensive.This is because the white feather color is light, suitable for fabric wide, light, dark Fabric can be used; and gray feather only suitable for dark fabrics. From the yield, whether goose down or duck down, the yield of white is far below the gray, rare things.
Level trap.According to the current product standards, down jacket is divided into 'superior product' 'first-class product' 'qualified product' three.If the product is labeled 'top', 'golden', 'best' and so on, it is best not to I believe they have no basis nor norms.
The value of the amount of cashmere. The amount of cashmere refers to the amount of velvet and velvet in the down content of the percentage of velvet and velvet are 'velvet', feathers are not the same conditions, the higher the amount of cashmere, the more warmth Well. National standards require down jacket cashmere amount of not less than 50%, otherwise you can not appear 'down' words, can only be called winter clothes, etc. Zhu Hongliang pointed out that cashmere content greater than 80%, can be regarded as better Of the down. There are very few businesses will be marked '100% cashmere', in fact, the mechanical sorting can not be done 100%, so the label is obviously not credible.
Product labeling is not standardized. Some products marked the amount of cashmere, not marked charge velvet; there are products marked with cashmere, charge cashmere, but did not mark the type of feather. The label should be fully marked with the manufacturer, The amount of cashmere, charge cashmere, feather types, fabrics, lining and other basic information.If the information is incomplete, the quality can not be guaranteed.
Feather cotton, feather cotton, feather velvet are not equal to 'feather'. There is no testing agency will issue a 'feather cotton' feather cotton 'feather velvet' report, because these are the names of merchants, The current standard does not have these terms, they also have nothing to do with the down.
Choice of down jacket, the quality of the order can be identified in the following order: a look, check the tag and tag; two click, then click to release, to see the rebound speed, the speed of the fluffy, warmer; three touch, check Tu Layer is uniform, filled with feather is not soft, no larger hair terrier; four beat, five kneading, see whether the plush drill; six smell, no smell of the best; seven 掂, a certain weight, the larger the volume Down Fluffy the better; eight test, finally put on to try comfort how.
To remind that regular cleaning can damage the quality of the down jacket, affecting the warm performance, so the best choice of dark models down jacket, not easy to dirty, do not often clean, wear a long time and can buy the same as warm.
