Types of insulation: down or synthetic?
The more variety of insulation for outerwear manufacturers offer, the harder it is for customers to make the right choice. But which insulation is better? Let's talk about this in more detail.
Variety of down: its advantages and disadvantages
Natural fillers for sewing outerwear have been used for many years.
- lightweight;
- quick recovery of volume;
- thermal resistance, etc.
However, not all types of down are equally good. The international quality unit FP is used to classify this material.
When determining it, such nuances are taken into account:
- information about the type of bird, its origin. The cheapest is duck down.
- technological nuances regarding down processing;
- percentage ratio of insulation. The label indicates how much feather and down were used and in what proportions.
Important: the durability of natural insulation largely depends on the proper care of the product.
Features of synthetic insulation
The demand for outerwear in different price categories is rapidly increasing.
Synthetics have a number of advantages:
- practically does not absorb moisture;
- lightweight;
- dries quickly;
- retains its thermal insulation properties when wet;
- easy to use.
In terms of thermal resistance, some types of synthetics have approached the values of down, and insulation manufacturers are working on material improvement.
Lightweight jackets made of batting, polyester, etc. are quite light.
Manufacturers' advice
In connection with the active technological development in the field of thermal insulation materials, it is important to choose clothes taking into account individual needs and climatic conditions of a particular region.
- prefer outerwear with down resistant to moisture. For this, the products are covered with a special impregnation.
- do not give up on clothing made of synthetics. A jacket with batting is quite sufficient to keep warm in light frost.
- focus on individual characteristics of the body. If there are allergic reactions to natural types of insulation, it is better to abandon them and find a more suitable jacket with synthetics;
- study the information on the label. Manufacturers indicate data on the climatic conditions that a particular product can withstand;
- duration of use. For short walks, products with synthetics are more suitable, as they are quite light, for long outdoor winter activities – jackets with natural insulation, preferably down;
- price. Synthetics are cheaper than down. It can be produced in any quantities.
