The new national standard for down jackets has been officially implemented. If consumers want to check the quality of their down jackets, they should open the label, which contains the implementation standards. The implementation standards are all consistent numbers, that is, 14272-2021. Some down jackets are fake and inferior products and will imitate such labels, which can be identified by smell and touch. There is an essential difference between down jackets and cotton-padded jackets. Down jackets are very fluffy when worn on the body. After wearing cotton-padded jackets for a long time, the cotton inside will become smaller and smaller. In winter, it is indispensable for everyone to buy a down jacket for winter, so let’s take a closer look!

First, the new national standard for down jackets has been officially implemented

The new national standard for down jackets has finally been officially implemented. Relevant staff were interviewed by reporters and claimed that if they want to know whether down jackets are good or not. You must look at the velvet. In order to let consumers intuitively understand the state of the down jacket, the reporter took a close-up shot. The velvet looks like cotton, which is lighter and thinner than cotton. Relevant staff said that only those with more than 50% down content can be called down jackets, otherwise they can only be called ordinary thick coats. Down jackets have high warmth and can help people resist the cold winter.

Second, how should consumers check the quality of down jackets?

You can check it in three aspects. First, look at the tag. If it is not a fixed series of numbers, it is not a down jacket. Some clothes will have the word "down jacket" written on the label. The most important thing is to look at the column of implementation standards. Second, touch the quality. Poor down jackets feel soft to the touch, while real down jackets will have room for rebound when pressed, and will not clump together even after being washed once. Third, smell the smell. Down jackets have a unique smell. Cotton jackets are the smell of clothes. Down jackets have the smell of animal hair. This smell is relatively weak. If it is too strong, you should doubt whether it is a real down jacket.

In short, as long as you buy down jackets from big brands, you will generally not buy fake and shoddy products.
