How to choose a down jacket with filler "Pooh"

Things with such a high-quality and warm filler. However, this does not mean that seeing the inscription "DAWN" on the label, you can not think of buying it. There are some nuances that need to be considered when choosing a down jacket.

• Poha percentage. In a high-quality jacket, it should be at least 80%, the remaining interest is the pen. The ratio indicates the tag in the form of a fraction. Women's light down jackets may contain a mixture of 50/50 and 60/40, they are also high-quality, but they are better not to wear them into severe frosts. If you need a warm thing for cold and harsh winters, cholect models with filler not lower than 70/30.
• The distribution of the fluff. In the down jackets, the fluffs are distributed through the pooh squares. They must be small sizes, otherwise the fluff will roll to the lower seam. In blocks, the fluff should move freely, no lumps and such noncomfortable sensations like tingling. If at least something is found when buying, then immediately give up it, because the thing is poor quality, and you will not be comfortable in it. Also important is the coefficient of elasticity that determines the recovery of the form after removal. High-quality downdoors go with such an indicator not lower than 550. This criterion can be checked in fact: squeeze the down jacket and release if the fluff recovered instantly, then with the coefficient everything is in order.
• Pooh. The label should indicate the Pooh standard - DIN EN 12934, indicating that the Pooh passed all the necessary processing: washing, disinfection, drying.
• Protection. Pooh into high-quality jackets are placed in a double packet having a Teflon-containing impregnation that does not allow feathers to pierce the fabric. In the downstream jackets, the fluffs are unevenly distributed, as a result, it can hang around and even crumpled when compressed.
• Small parts. Pouchs are attached to the real down jackets where the fluff sample is located. Most often, there is a signature on the buttons and zippers, there is also a spare fittings. The label should be an instruction manual and a manufacturing country.
