Winter is cold, and if you want to keep warm, you must prepare a thick and warm jacket. Among the many coats, the most popular is the down jacket and the cotton jacket. The former is light and fluffy, and the latter is solid and anti-freeze. It has a high appearance rate in winter. However, I believe that many consumers will be very entangled when choosing a coat. Which one is warmer? In fact, mainly looking at these two points, many people are wearing the wrong clothes.
The biggest difference between down jackets and cotton jackets is the padding. The down jacket is filled with down and other down materials such as duck down and gooses down. It has the advantages of lightness and fluffy, and it is slightly better in wearing comfort. The cotton clothing uses traditional cotton as a filler, and the cotton fibers are thin, dense, and solid. Therefore, cotton clothing has an excellent windproof effect and is suitable for wearing in windy weather.
Down jackets and cotton jackets have different fillings, which causes them to have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you want to determine which one is warmer, we have to judge based on actual conditions, mainly based on these two points.
First, look at the weight of the filler
Down jackets and cotton jackets can keep warm because of the special structure of the fabric. By blocking the cold air from the outside, the heat emitted by the human body can be preserved, so as to warm the body. In the case of the same gram weight of the filling, the fluffy advantage of the down is brought into play. It is not only lighter than cotton but also warmer than cotton. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive and has the risk of running down. You can choose reasonably according to your budget.
If the filling weight is not equal, and you want to choose the one with the highest cost performance, we give two different selection suggestions:
1. When the filling weight of the down jacket is smaller than that of the cotton jacket, choose the cotton jacket with good quality and low price, and the thermal insulation effect is better;
2. When the filling weight of a down jacket is greater than that of a cotton jacket, choose a light and fluffy down jacket for better comfort.
The second point, look at the humidity
Although the down jacket is light, it is very afraid of water. When the air humidity is relatively high, it will cause the down filling in the down jacket to shrink into a ball, which reduces the fluffy feeling of the body and the thermal performance is greatly reduced. No fear of humid environment, even if the air humidity is high, it will not affect the thermal performance, so if your area is often raining, the air is wet and cold, it is more suitable to choose cotton clothes.
In summary, it is concluded that if the budget is sufficient and in a dry environment, choosing down jackets is warmer, and if the budget is not enough and in a humid environment, choosing cotton clothes is warmer.
It's not easy to keep warm and fashionable in winter. The selection of "down jackets" and "cotton jackets" is enough to worry about. After reading such a detailed answer, do you know which coat is more suitable for you?
