Recently, as the temperature drops sharply, down jackets have become the focus of consumers' attention. Discussions on the purchase and identification of down jackets remain high on major e-commerce platforms and social media. This article will combine the hot topics in the past 10 days to provide you with a structured guide to identify down jackets.
1. Analysis of core parameters of down jacket

| Parameter name | Standard range | importance |
|---|---|---|
| Cashmere content | 70%-95% | Core indicators that determine warmth retention |
| Filling amount | 100-300g | Directly affects the degree of warmth retention |
| Fill power | 550+FP | The higher the warmth retention, the better |
| filler | Goose down/duck down | Goose down is better and more expensive |
Two and four steps identification method
1. Look at the label information:Regular products must be marked with three data: filling type, cashmere content, and cashmere filling amount. Recent hot searches show that many Internet celebrity brands have been complained by consumers for falsely labeling parameters.
2. Press test:High-quality down jackets can rebound quickly after being pressed, while inferior products can rebound slowly and may be accompanied by stalks. An evaluation blogger found that the qualification rate of products priced below 300 yuan was less than 40%.
3. Rub and listen:Rub the fabric and listen to see if there is an obvious "rustling" sound. If it is too loud, it means there are too many feather stems. A popular test video on Douyin shows that high-end brands are significantly less loud than affordable products.
4. Light transmission inspection:When observing the light-transmitting parts of the fabric under strong light, high-quality down appears in the shape of uniform clouds. Xiaohongshu users shared that this method identified many fake products adulterated with cotton.

Price Trap:Recent monitoring data shows that the actual price reduction of down jackets with an original price of more than 2,000 yuan during the Double 12 period is generally less than 30%, but the routine of some merchants that first increase and then decrease still exists.
Changes in the new national standard:The 2023 new version of down clothing standards requires the labeling of "down content" instead of the old version of "down content", requiring down content to account for ≥50%. Professionals recommend giving priority to products with a velvet content of ≥80%.
Regional differences:In the northern region, it is recommended to choose a product with a down content of more than 200g and a fill power of 650+FP; in the southern region, you can choose a light model with a down content of about 150g and a fill power of 550 FP.
5. Maintenance precautions
According to a recent dry cleaning industry report, 90% of down jacket damage cases are caused by incorrect washing methods. Correct methods should include: using neutral detergent, avoiding wringing, patting regularly to keep it fluffy, etc. A popular science video on a lifestyle account received over 100,000 likes.
Through the above structured data and hot spot analysis, consumers can more professionally identify the quality of down jackets. It is recommended to keep the hang tag and wash mark when purchasing, as this is key evidence in the event of a quality dispute. With the strengthening of market supervision and the improvement of consumer awareness, the down jacket market is gradually becoming standardized.
