What are the tips for purchasing down vests:

First look: Check whether there is a registered trademark, product instructions and related content, such as factory name, factory address, and fabric lining. Ingredient content, down type and down content, down filling capacity indicators, washing labels, quality grades, implementation standard codes, etc.; look at product appearance, sewing quality; look at accessories: there are many accessories on a down jacket. Such as zippers, metal buckles, etc., whether they are beautiful, smooth, and tight. When choosing a down jacket, in addition to the down content, you also need to look at the quality of the filling (down filling). For down jackets of the same model and with the same down content, the more down filling the down jacket has, the better the warmth retention of the down jacket will be. The down vest has a large and round shape and better warmth retention.

Second press: Loosen and flatten the down vest, press the down jacket with your hands, and then release your hands to see if the down jacket can rebound quickly and return to its original shape. If it rebounds quickly and returns to its original shape, it indicates that the down has good fluffiness. If the down content is low, mixed with a certain amount of wool pieces or crushed hair, the elasticity will be poor, and the down vest will feel heavy in the hand.

Three touches: Touch the down jacket with your hands to test its softness and whether there are complete small hair pieces, etc. The feather stems should be thin and soft, and there should be but not too many hair stems. If there are no hair stems at all, it may not be down, but if there are too many hair stems, the down content will be low, and the down quality and warmth retention will be poor.

Four beats: Pat the down jacket to see if there is any dust overflowing from the stitches and whether there is any fluff coming out. Pat the down jacket hard and shake it. If a lot of down silk comes out at this time, the fabric used may have poor down resistance, or the sewing needle holes are too large. This kind of down jacket will become thinner as you wear it, and its warmth retention will be reduced. It will get worse.

Due to the soft nature of down, it is normal for a small amount of down to occasionally overflow from the seams. Down jackets cannot be made of down, but they must have a certain degree of breathability. For example, the fabrics, linings, and gallbladders of down jackets have poor air permeability. First, water vapor cannot easily escape during wearing, causing moisture and making you feel uncomfortable and not warm. Second, it is not easy to dry in the sun after washing. The above two factors will cause the down to deteriorate to varying degrees under damp conditions, or breed microorganisms, and emit odor.

Five smells: Put your nose close to the down vest and smell it carefully, then compare it with normal down clothing to check whether there is any fishy or peculiar smell, and avoid buying products with strong and pungent smells. But since down is collected from animals, a faint smell of down is normal.

The quality of a down vest is related to the vital interests of consumers. A down vest of poor quality may have adverse effects on human health. When purchasing, you should pay special attention to the following aspects:

1. Style: novel, unique, suitable, generous and practical, preferably removable.

2. Price: Generally, a moderate price is appropriate. If the price is too low, the inherent quality cannot be guaranteed.

3. Down content and down filling: You should choose the down content and down filling you need. The velvet content of down jackets is generally 70% and above, which has a certain degree of fluffiness and softness. The amount of down filling, related to the warmth of the down jacket, should be determined according to your own wearing needs.

4. Resilience: If a fluffy down jacket is pressed once and then loosened, it will rebound quickly and return to its original shape, indicating that the down has good fluffiness. If the down content is low, mixed with a certain amount of wool pieces or crushed wool, the resilience will be poor. Down jackets with poor resilience will feel heavy in the hand.

5. Anti-plum down performance: The surface and lining of down products should have anti-plum down properties. If you take a photo, you will find that the down products made of cadmium down are definitely inferior. Due to the silky nature of down, it is normal for a small amount of down to escape from the stitching.

6. Breathability: Down jackets cannot be made of down, but they must also have a certain degree of breathability. If the fabric, lining, and gallbladder of a down jacket have poor air permeability, water vapor will not easily escape during wearing, causing moisture and discomfort, and it will also be difficult to dry in the sun after washing. The above two factors will cause down to deteriorate to varying degrees under damp conditions and emit odor.

7. Smell: Smell it, take a deep breath close to the down products, smell the smell inside, and avoid buying products with strong and pungent smells (generally indicating that the cleanliness and oxygen consumption index of these down products are not good enough) meet the standards), but since down is animal feathers, it is normal to have a certain smell.

8. Accessories: There are many accessories on a down jacket, such as zippers, metal buckles, etc. Check whether they are beautiful, smooth, and tight.
