For me, winter is always very cold, although I can not say that we have a hard climate. I live in Saratov, last winter can even be called soft, with a few exceptions. Nevertheless, I Merzlyak wild, so I wondered, and what is the warmest down jacket in his time?
It is very interesting, but where my readers are, and what the winter you have there? Share in the comments!
There are many options for filling down jacket, I always thought that fluff - the warmest, but when looking into the matter found out that it is not. Let's now talk about the filler for down jackets: a natural and artificial. I will try to free water to bring you the information you need.
down
One of the warmest fillers on the label referred to as "Down". Their prices can not be called modest. In most cases, such a combination can be seen as down-pen (on the label is designated as "down /feather "), And the price is already below.
Here it is necessary to pay attention to the percentage of down and feathers. The more down, the warmer. 80/20 - the optimal ratio, if you Merzlyak the same as I do, or you have cold winters. I met the view that the ceiling of values in which the maximum heat - it's 75/25, and that he was 80, for example, the wing is not more than 75. In principle, I do not think that will be a big difference, 5% - not so much.
70/30 more than a cold option, but many lack it as well. For me - it is preferable to 80, due to the fact that I am eternally merznu. Focus on yourself, of course. 60/40, especially 50/50 except on the very mild winter, or at the end of autumn, early winter.
Not a small role down distributionI advise pay attention. Down jackets around its circumference stitched blocks, they may have different shapes and sizes. The optimum size of the block of 20 by 20.
Cool if the tag specified compression ratio (indicated as fill power, or FP), ideally, it is 550 or higher. But I was faced with the fact that not always write that information. Unknown factor? It is possible to conduct such a test, squeeze and release the down jacket, and if it short shrift - it's a good sign)
Now, very quickly go over the artificial fillers
Sintepuh (marked on the tag - fiber fluff)
Similar in property to natural filler, I consider him down jackets with the best one. It is not as capricious in care as a natural but perfectly warm.
Wool (on the label - wool)
For me it is a very heavy down jackets, they weigh a lot. The recommended temperature for them to about -25 degrees. affordable prices. But after washing can be deformed, it is a minus, of course, require dry-cleaning, and this additional spending.
Sintepon (on the label is referred to as polyester)
Cheap and available, but I fell with him into the trap of buying a light down jacket with the idea that it is not whimsical fluff / pen can be easily washed in the machine. Yeah, easy, only its warming properties of lost after the first washing. It was wildly disappointing.
Izosoft (on a label designated as Isosoft)
In warmer times syntepon consists of those balls which are engaged with each other, but there is a space therebetween. As a result, the body heat accumulates in this space. It does not lose its properties after washing, and generally more durable. The price is higher, of course.
In Russia we produced its counterpart called hollofan.
Hollofayber (on the label is specified as Hollofiber)
Izosofta warmer, the principle of its composition is similar to him, but there are springs. Easy to care for him is a huge plus. Jackets with this filler are light in weight, it is also great.
Thinsulate
I did not wear jackets with this filler, moreover, in the shops they have not met. Of course, online shopping to help) It's all filler, which produced clothes explorers, astronauts. Needless to say, that he is mega hot? Warmer than down, it is very easy. For the harsh winters, for people who have to work in the winter on the street, for those who like long winter fishings. That's just the prices are very bite! Yes, for the warmth and comfort of not having to pay a little.
