Men's down jacket without fur: types of insulation

The basis of high-quality outerwear is insulation. Nowadays, almost every item, regardless of filling or style, is called a down jacket. This is incorrect. A down jacket is a down-filled garment, and a combination with feathers is acceptable. The percentage ratio must be indicated on the label. The more down, the warmer the garment.

When choosing a jacket, pay attention to the following parameters:

1. Weight. Determines the thermal insulation properties of the model. The heavier it is, the less comfortable it is. Feather increases the weight of the product; there should be little of it in the filler – 30%. Real outerwear that protects from the cold weighs 1.5 kilograms and does not exceed 2 kg.
2. Thermal insulation. The indicator is determined by down envelopes. Feathers are sealed into small sections – blocks measuring 20x20 centimeters. In larger modules, the material bunches up, depriving the garment of protection from the cold.
3. Elasticity. Unit of measurement of thermal insulation, designated by the abbreviation CLO. Standard - 1-3. The mark "1 CLO" indicates that protection from cold up to -15 ° C is provided, "3" - up to -40 ° C. Winter men's down jackets usually have the highest indicator.
4. Type of down. Insulation can be eider, swan, goose and duck. The most common option is goose down, but it is used only in combination with feathers. The cost of a product with loon or swan feather filler is significantly higher.
5. Use of impurities. Synthetic holofiber, sintepon, fibertek are in high demand due to their low cost, but are inferior in quality to natural insulation. Products with such types of fillers are called jackets.

Down jacket top layer

Cotton, polyester, nylon are used by manufacturers as the top material of the product. Synthetic fibers are the most advantageous. They are durable, impregnated with a special composition. Down is hygroscopic, easily accumulates moisture, requires quick drying. That is why the coating should have water-repellent, windproof properties and allow water vapor to pass through.

Product stitching

The quality of the item is determined by the nature of the stitching. The seams should be even, without protruding threads, located along the entire length of the garment, holding the insulation. The filler in high-quality clothing is distributed evenly over the surface, does not gather into lumps. When washing, tennis balls are placed in the drum, according to the instructions, which facilitate the breakdown of the down during drying. The smaller the sections, the harder it is to restore the parka to its original appearance, its thermal insulation characteristics are reduced.
