Properly selected clothes for the winter should not only emphasize your style and add attractiveness, but also reliably protect from the cold. One of the best options for warm winter clothing is a down coat or down jacket.
In this article we will tell you how to choose the right down jacket.
Which down jacket to choose?
Before you go shopping, find out for yourself which type of down jacket will suit you best.
Please note that in this season, the gray-black models that are familiar to many are slightly receding into the background, yielding to the palm of primacy for more daring bright colors.
As you can see, to choose a good down jacket, you must always take into account your lifestyle.
For example, you often walk the streets on foot - you need a down jacket to the middle of the thigh or lower to protect yourself from the cold wind. Motorists will be suited for short models that do not interfere with moving their legs freely and pushing the pedals.
For those who regularly use public transport, voluminous models with a very fluffy fur trim will not work.
In addition, it is desirable to take into account the climate in which you live. Despite the excellent thermal insulation qualities of down, the thickness of the insulation layer significantly affects the "frost resistance" of the product.
How to choose a quality down jacket?
After you have thoroughly thought out which type of down jacket you need, it's time to think about the distinctive features of a quality thing.
To not regret the unsuccessful purchase and protect yourself from deception, you should know in advance how to choose a quality warm women's down jacket.
First of all, try to buy down jackets only from certified sellers. Do not hesitate to ask for quality certificates for products and make sure that the product meets international standards.
Many girls neglect this and absolutely in vain - in fact buying an uncertified product, you risk becoming the owner of a down jacket from the feather of a sick bird. Feather tick and avian influenza are two of the many diseases that can contaminate products that have not undergone proper quality control.
In addition, the passport for the product clearly indicates the percentage of down, feather and synthetic additives in the lining of the jacket. Most often this indicator ranges from 70/30 (70% down, 30% pen) to 50/50 or 40/50. The more down in the product, the warmer the jacket. Confidence of the seller about the highest and exclusive quality of his products without confirmation of these words by the relevant documents is not to be believed.
Do not be afraid of jackets on synthetic fillers. Of course, sintepon is a material from the last century, its only advantage is cheapness. But given the short service life of sintepon jackets, this advantage is rather doubtful. By the way, down jacket from a goose with proper care (gentle washing, storage without strong compression) will serve you faithfully and truthfully for 15-20 years. Spread his high price for this period and you will understand that a synthetic jacket , capable of "living" from the strength of two or three seasons, will cost you much more.
But there is synthetics, not inferior in quality to natural fluff. For example, sintepuh - synthetic fluff. Moisture-repellent, frost-resistant, wear-resistant, hypoallergenic, non-caking synthepoup absorbed all the best qualities of fillers of winter jackets.
To check the ability of the down jacket to store the shape, squeeze one of the sections - if the fluff quickly breaks down after compression, a jacket of good quality.
Of course, the filler should be evenly distributed throughout the sections - without lumps. The jacket should be soft, without prickly impregnations ("thorns" mean that the fluff has been processed with a violation of technology).
The filler should not "climb" either over the main area of the down jacket, or at the seams.
Quality products on the label always have a transparent "bubble" with an example of filler and instruction for care, and all locks and buttons have brand names.
Now you know how to choose a winter women's down jacket, ideal for your lifestyle, climate and purse.
