How to choose?

When choosing, you should adhere to the recommendations of specialists. They will help you choose the perfect option among the huge assortment.

Colour

The modern men's clothing market offers a wide range of colors. In addition to the classic black models, there are products on sale in a bright and light palette. Colorful down jackets are most often chosen by young guys and teenagers. Grown men opt for more standard options.

If you are going to wear a jacket frequently, it is recommended to choose a product in a dark color scheme. They are easier to clean and match with other clothing colors.

Elasticity

It should be checked how quickly the filler of the product will return to its original one after its deformation. As a rule, this characteristic is denoted as FP. It is recommended to make a choice in favor of products with an indicator from 500-550 to 800. If the tag is missing the information you need, you can do a little test right in the store. You should squeeze the down jacket as tight as possible and evaluate how quickly it will regain its shape.

Quality of seams and textile material

A reliable and stylish down jacket should be covered with stitches throughout the entire area. Quilted models are highly practical. Otherwise, the insulation may lose its shape and settle after washing. Neat and even seams, without protruding threads, speak of the high quality of the products.

When it comes to fabrics, most buyers choose nylon and polyester. Using these materials, they sew jackets that are not afraid of drafts and precipitation.

Fittings

The fittings should be noted separately. If the purchase is made in a regular store, you should carefully examine the jacket, paying attention to zippers, rivets, buttons and other similar elements. The fittings must be free of defects (chips, scratches, cracks, etc.).

Filler

In the manufacture of outerwear, both natural and synthetic fillers are used. The second option is more affordable and cheaper. For the manufacture of quality products, natural insulation is chosen, as a rule, it is duck down. In some cases, materials of the two types are combined.

The weight

To wear and clean a down jacket conveniently, it is important to choose the model with the optimal weight. Many buyers mistakenly believe that the larger the model, the better it retains heat and protects from frost, but this is not the case. As practice shows, a lightweight down jacket copes with these tasks better.

Heat retention is influenced by the elasticity of the filler and its nature. (natural or synthetic material). Slim models provide better air circulation, which is an important factor for a comfortable fit.

Dimensions (edit)

When making a purchase in a stationary store, the client has the opportunity to try on the model he likes and be sure that it fits perfectly. When ordering a product via the Internet, you should take measurements (chest, waist, hips, sleeve length) and compare them with the dimensions of the down jacket.
