Down jackets and padded jackets are essential warm clothing in winter. Their choice of fabric is very important, determining the comfort and warmth of the garment. Below I will introduce the characteristics and selection methods of down and cotton clothing fabrics.
The fabric of down jacket is generally divided into nylon fabric and polyester fabric. Nylon fabric has the characteristics of lightness, softness, good air permeability, good wind proof effect, etc., and is often used in high-end down jackets. The polyester fabric has the characteristics of durability, wrinkle resistance, wear resistance, etc., and is often used in middle and low grade down jackets. In general, the fabric of the down jacket should have a certain tear resistance, as well as a good thermal effect.
When choosing down fabric, the first thing to consider is the padding of down. High quality down stuffing has a high thermal effect and is not easy to compress and deform. The fabric should have a certain waterproof function, which can effectively avoid rain soaking down. Secondly, the weight of the fabric is also an important consideration. Too heavy fabric will make the overall weight of the down jacket larger, inconvenient to carry and wear. Therefore, pay attention to lightness performance when choosing fabrics.
The fabric of cotton clothing is generally cotton fabric. Cotton fabric has good air permeability, soft and comfortable, and has a good thermal effect. At the same time, cotton fabric has good hygroscopic characteristics, which can effectively discharge human sweat. In general, cotton fabrics should have a certain density to increase thermal performance. Modern cotton clothing fabrics also undergo a series of technical treatment, such as waterproof, anti-fouling, wind resistance, etc., in order to improve the practicality and comfort of cotton clothing.
When choosing cotton clothing fabrics, we must first look at the quality of cotton. Good cotton fabric should feel soft and delicate, no pilling phenomenon. Secondly, consider the density and weight of the fabric. The higher the density, the better the warmth. The weight is moderate and will not put too much burden on the wearer. In addition, the fabric of cotton clothing should pay attention to waterproof performance. A good cotton fabric should have a good waterproof function and can stay dry in a humid environment.
In general, whether it is down jacket or cotton jacket, the choice of fabric is very important. The characteristics and choice of fabric will directly affect the comfort and warmth of clothing. In the selection of fabrics, in addition to considering the quality and characteristics of the fabric, but also according to their own needs to choose the appropriate style and brand. I hope this information will be helpful to you in choosing down and padded jackets.
