Many people confuse the concepts of down filling and down content when they buy down jackets. In fact, these are two data, representing completely different meanings.

First of all, the pile content is not equal to the "filling amount". According to the national regulations, the down content refers to the share of the pile and pile pieces (also known as "pile pieces") beside the filled down. The state has stipulated that only when the pile content exceeds 50% of the share, it can be called a "down jacket". The down filling amount refers to the amount of down (including the total amount of fluff and flakes) filled in a down jacket, which is expressed in weight, such as 100g.

Among them, several concepts are simply confused:

The higher the pile, the better—— Many consumers believe that the higher the "grams" of down, the thicker the down jacket will be. In fact, this is wrong. The warmth retention of down jackets depends on the amount of down, but what is more important is whether the quality of down itself is good. Half the amount of good down is better than many down. Second, it depends on the design, whether the design of down jacket can prevent cold air from entering; Third, it depends on the wear. The combination of pure cotton underwear+cardigan+down jacket is recognized as a light and warm combination.

The higher the pile content, the better? If anyone says which brand has 100% cashmere, it is doubtful. As long as down contains a certain proportion of hair pieces (the size of hair pieces must meet the standard), it will have resilience and play a role in keeping warm. Because the scales on these hairs are stacked together, there is air between the scales, which can keep them warm.

The down content and filling amount are the key to determine the quality of down jacket. The down content is generally 70% or more, with a certain degree of looseness and softness; The amount of down filling is related to the degree of warmth of down jacket, which should be determined according to the needs of wearing.

High grade down jackets generally use more than 90% white goose down or more than 90% white duck down. More than 90% of the real down jackets are warm, loose and comfortable to wear. Generally, the down jacket with 90% down content and 230g~320g filling (according to the size of the commodity) is suitable for the environment of - 20 ℃~- 30 ℃ in the north.

The warm keeping function of down jacket is related to three goals: filling amount, down content and down porosity. Generally speaking, if the three goals are high, it will be very warm. Now there are many super light and super thin warm down jackets on the market. Generally, the filling amount is relatively low. If such a low filling amount also requires good warmth retention, it is necessary that the looseness of down should be very high.
