As the temperature gradually drops, down jackets have become essential items for people to withstand the cold. However, there is a wide variety of down jackets on the market with varying qualities. So, how can you pick a good one? Today, STYLUX will share some practical tips on selecting down jackets with you.

1. Check the Label

First of all, checking the label of the down jacket is crucial. The label should clearly indicate the type of filling, the down content, and the amount of filling, etc. According to the new national standard, the content of down clusters in the finished garment should be no less than 50% to be called a down jacket. Generally speaking, the higher the down content, the better the thermal insulation performance of the down jacket. As for the filling material, goose down has relatively better thermal insulation and support properties than duck down. Goose down has larger, fuller down clusters and better loft. In terms of quality ranking, white goose down is the best, followed by grey goose down, and then white duck down and grey duck down.

2. Press and Release to Check the Resilience

Lay the down jacket flat and press it, then see if it can quickly bounce back to its original shape after releasing. This is a simple method to test the loft of the down jacket. The higher the loft, it means that under the same conditions of down cluster content and the same weight of down, the down jacket can have a larger air layer for heat preservation and insulation, and its thermal insulation and comfort will be better. If the down jacket bounces back slowly or hardly bounces back after being pressed, the quality of the down in this down jacket may be poor, and the thermal insulation effect will also be greatly reduced.

3. Feel the Texture by Hand

Use your hand to feel the softness of the down jacket. A down jacket that feels soft and has intact feathers is of better quality, which means it has a higher down content and fewer feather shafts. If you can obviously feel hard shafts or the texture is rough, the quality of this down jacket may not be ideal, and it may also affect the comfort when wearing.

4. Pat to Check for Dust and Down Leakage

Gently pat the down jacket and observe whether there is any down or dust coming out. If there is down or dust leakage, on the one hand, it indicates that the fabric of the down jacket has poor anti-down leakage properties; on the other hand, it may also be due to the sewing needle holes being too large. Such a down jacket is prone to down leakage during wearing, which will not only affect the thermal insulation effect but also the appearance.

5. Weigh the Down Jacket

Weigh the down jacket. Generally speaking, a down jacket that is light in weight and large in volume is better. Because high-quality down has good loft and can provide good thermal insulation effect under a lighter weight. If a down jacket is too heavy, it may be due to the poor quality of the down or the filling amount is too high but the loft is not enough.

6. Smell the Odor

Lean close to the down jacket and smell it carefully. If there is an obvious strange odor or bad smell, it is possible that it is filled with inferior down. High-quality down has been through strict cleaning and disinfection processes and will not have any odor. Inferior down may not have been fully processed or may have been contaminated during storage, which will not only affect the wearing experience but also may pose a threat to health.

When selecting down jackets, you can consider the above aspects comprehensively and choose the one that suits you according to your needs and budget.
