Choosing a down jacket: what to look for
To choose a quality men's down jacket in Ukraine, you should rely on a number of criteria. We will consider all the important ones below.
Types of insulation
There are such insulations for men's long down jackets:
- natural. We can say that they are classic: with down and feather. The first prevails, and the more of it, the warmer the outerwear will be. The optimal combination is 70/30. Pay attention to whether there are down pockets, they contribute to the correct distribution of the insulation inside the product;
- synthetic. These are holofiber, silicone, synthetic winterizer and others. They are hypoallergenic and very warm. Due to the fact that there is not only the insulation itself, but also air inside, it is possible to achieve heat retention even at -25 ° C;
- combined. The combination of natural and synthetic filler has proven itself well, but is more suitable for a warm winter. Such insulation is often called "Euro-winter".
Please note: there are single- and double-layer models. The second, naturally, are warmer. Choose depending on the climatic conditions in which you plan to wear outerwear.
Upper materials
Synthetic materials are mainly used for down jackets, because they have a denser weave of threads, so they are able to hold the finest particles of fluff inside. Common fabrics are polyester, nylon, polyamide. The first one is wear-resistant, therefore it is very popular. Advantages: it does not fade in the sun, does not lose its aesthetically attractive appearance, does not let moisture through. Nylon is also light and dense, allows the skin to breathe, which is also very important. It is comfortable to wear such a down jacket, even when it gets a little warmer. Polyamide is different in that it dries very quickly.
