Down jackets with bio-down: new standards of environmental friendliness
Down jackets with bio-down make up an impressive percentage of the total amount of clothing with insulation. The unique material was developed in the second half of the 20th century, and for the light industry engaged in the mass production of casual coats, tourist overalls and sports jackets, it became available relatively recently, since initially down jackets with bio-down insulation were addressed to polar explorers working in aggressive subzero temperatures.
This material is a unique development of two global corporations, DuPont and Thinsulate, and the texture is based on an environmentally friendly biopolymer patented by the American and Japanese brands DuPont and Sorona.
According to the accepted scenario of many world discoveries, bio-down was invented by accident: during the production of adhesive tape mass, a failure occurred in the formula, thanks to which the world received an innovative synthetic material with unique physical properties.
Bio-down used in down jackets today has been improved in many ways: the formula of the environmentally friendly insulation consists of biological components that undergo multi-level chemical treatment using a patented technology.
The production of bio-insulation is much more economical than the production of nylon: energy costs are reduced by 30%, and the level of greenhouse gases formed is reduced by 60%.
Advantages of down jackets with bio-down
Lightweight, pleasant to the touch bio-down for a down jacket is a real find! The material, which has a three-dimensional spherical shape similar to natural down, has an airy structure, and after compression, it instantly straightens out and holds its shape well. It also does not absorb moisture and does not accumulate dirt, but the main advantage of the filler is effective heat retention, and this indicator is one and a half times higher than that of a natural analogue.
A down jacket with bio-down will warm at an outside temperature of -40 ° C, so the material is most often used for sewing winter casual clothes, as well as tourist and sports equipment.
Bio-down in a down jacket does not crumble and does not break through the outer synthetic fabric, so washing and drying the product is possible at home.
The lightweight material does not weigh down the jacket and does not restrict movement. Even allergy sufferers can wear down jackets with bio-down, since the shape-stable plastic texture is absolutely inert to the accumulation of microorganisms that cause allergic reactions. In addition, the insulation is atoxic, which is confirmed not only by certificates, but also by numerous reviews.
You can buy a down jacket with real bio-down, and not its imitation, in real time on our website. When choosing a model, consider not only the properties of the materials, but also other parameters, because each model of clothing differs in cut, style, color scheme, design, size - you should focus on detailed product specifications.
