Let's talk about how to choose a woman's down jacket for the winter.
Choosing a down jacket for the winter
How to choose a warm down jacket for the winter, depends mainly on the selection of a suitable filler and insulation. It should be selected based on the weather conditions of each specific locality, as well as the desired period of socks and how much the girl is willing to spend on the winter thing. After all, the more high-quality filling, the more expensive the down jacket.
In general, it is correct to call it a down jacket only those jackets in the filling of which a natural eider or duck down is used. However, now a down jacket is called any insulated jacket.
So, the warmest are down jackets for fluff. They contain only a natural filling, which can protect against the most severe frosts. But down jackets only with fluff are extremely rare, in fact, they are used only in polar expeditions. In jackets for daily wear a mixture of down (down) and feather (feather) is used. Their percentage in each specific model can be recognized on the label. The higher it is, the warmer the woman's down jacket is in the severe frosts before you. Usually it varies from 80/20 to 50/50.
In the modern industry for the production of winter clothing, there are also many high-tech substitutes for natural fluff. Their use makes it possible to practically not reduce the insulating qualities of a thing, while getting the models cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Usually it is polymer materials, the thermal insulation in which is achieved due to the presence of air between the particles or fibers of the heater. These options include down jackets on the holofayber, tinsulite, isosoft, and also using the latest development - biopow. Down jackets on a biopiche - this is the warmest option of all listed.
Finally, the least warm and suitable only for small frosts can be called jackets, in the insulation of which are used traditional and well-known materials: sintepon, batting and cotton wool. Such down jackets are suitable only for residents of areas with a fairly mild climate and small winter frosts. In addition, such down jackets are quite heavy, and filling materials easily get wet and become unusable, which reduces the life of such a thing.
To choose a suitable down jacket, you need to carefully read the label to know that you like the model inside. In addition, for the convenience of buyers, many manufacturers also mark their things, indicating the lowest possible temperature for this or that upper thing. Only knowing the conditions of the area where you live, as well as the composition of the down jacket insulation, you can choose the best option.
Other indicators of down jackets

It is necessary to check the fastener, the smaller it is, the more well the filler is fastened inside and, consequently, the risk that it falls off during socks is less. Cuffs, the bottom edge and waist of the down jacket should be provided with elastic band to prevent wind from entering the jacket. Well, if the down jacket is equipped with a hood.
