Aunt Wang has spoken out the voice of most consumers. The price of the down garment has been rising year after year, which makes many people feel more and more "can not afford to buy a down jacket". What is even more puzzling is the fact that the price down clothing is getting thinner and thinner.

In the same place, later, the reporter stopped a young lady who had just bought a down jacket and interviewed Miss Han, who had just spent 1890 yuan on buying a new OCHIRLY down jacket. "It's not very warm. It must be cold when it snows, but the style of OCHIRLY is thinner and fashionable." The price is not cheap, but nowadays the brand down clothing is almost the same price.

Down jacket is fast fashion, consumers do not know the amount of filling.

Reporters interviewed before the shopping center of each brand down clothing counters found that the products sold on the market now mainly contain two kinds of contents, including cashmere and cashmere. When consumers buy, they are used to feel the thick and thin; secondly, consider the length (generally think that the long down jacket is more warm than the short down jacket); some consumers will notice the down ingredients and the amount of cashmere, and think that the general down weight is above 90%, which is definitely a down jacket with good thermal effect.

In fact, according to the analysis of the best filling volume of down jacket, the down filling quantity of down jacket is the key to directly affect the thermal insulation of down jacket. After testing the thermal insulation of 1g, 3G, 5g and other velvet pads, the filling temperature is 1 degrees centigrade per 5g. The most comfortable temperature that a human body can feel is the temperature of about 32 degrees. However, because the down garment does not directly contact with the skin, the temperature of the down jacket reaches 25 degrees, which is the most comfortable temperature.

If the coefficient of thermal conductivity of 5g down is measured at 1W/m. C, the down weight of the down garment must reach 130g to meet the most comfortable temperature standard of the highest temperature of 26 degrees (25 degrees minus 1 degrees Celsius).

Many shopper often do not tell consumers the amount of cashmere, or make use of the difference between the amount of cashmere and the amount of cashmere, so as to mislead consumers by exaggerating the warmth retention effect. Even when consumers question too thin and not warm enough, they will prevaricate with "being shrunken in the warehouse and hanging up at home."

A shopkeeper who did not want to reveal his name told ONLY: "when our customers buy down garments, they seldom care much about warmth and even regard warmth as an added value. The price down of 1000 yuan, but less than 100g of the down jacket, is still popular, because it is mainly aimed at young women aged 18 and ~30, who are more concerned about fashion. The design requirements for down coats are rather harsh and must be thin. Therefore, even if the warmth is not good enough, there is still a market. "

Consumers, Mr. Liu said: "this year, bostenden, Yalu, snow fly and other old style down jacket styles are more fashionable and diversified, but the price has indeed risen a lot. But now we pay more attention to the quality of life, and it is impossible for us to wear a down jacket for several years, just like a few years ago.

It can be seen that the domestic down jacket Market is slowly moving towards fast fashion and branding.

Raw materials prices and sky high advertising costs brand HOLD can not afford down jacket prices

A brand down garment dealer, who does not want to be named, told reporters that "according to the" national standard for Down garments "issued by the state, only the amount of cashmere clothing must be more than 50%, and there is no requirement for the number of cashmere. This has also provided some garment enterprises with a chance to exploit loopholes. The filling capacity of 100g is only suitable for the warmer season in the south. When the cold weather in the north or the cold wave strikes south, the down weight of the adult down jacket is more than 200 grams, so it is suitable for keeping warm. But the number of down coats sold on the market can be up to 200g, but 100g's down garments occupy most of the market.

"The increase in raw material prices and the increase in labor costs is one reason, and more importantly, the increase in advertising costs. In recent years, both the old brand of down garment and the new high street brand tend to be branded marketing mode. In the past, the situation of only opening up the market by word-of-mouth and products has gone forever. The advertising costs such as celebrity endorsements and so on have gone up, and the price of the down garment has naturally risen. In addition, the brand will also save costs from raw materials and fill up the flats less. It will have little impact on the young people as the main audience, but will cater to their lightweight and thin purchase mentality.
