Down jackets and cotton-padded jackets are common warm jackets in winter. They have the following differences in thermal insulation effect and applicable occasions:
1. Warmth insulation effect:

– Down jacket: Down jacket uses duck down or goose down as filler, which has good thermal insulation properties. Down is characterized by being light, fluffy and having good thermal insulation properties. It can form a warm air layer and effectively block the intrusion of cold air. Generally speaking, the higher the velvet content of the filling, the better the thermal insulation effect.
– Cotton-padded clothes: Cotton-padded clothes use cotton as filler and have good thermal insulation effect. Cotton has large pores that can store air and form a thermal insulation layer. Compared with down jackets, cotton-padded jackets are slightly less warm, but they are still enough to cope with the cold weather in winter.
2. Applicable occasions:
– Down jacket: Down jacket is suitable for cold and dry climates, such as winter in the north. Its thin and light characteristics make down jackets more suitable for outdoor sports or long-term activities in cold environments, because it does not put too much burden on the body.
– Cotton coat: Cotton coat is suitable for cold and humid climates, such as winter in the south. Since cotton itself has better hygroscopicity, cotton-padded clothes are more suitable for occasions when encountering wet and cold weather. Cotton coats are usually relatively thick and suitable for daily wear.
It should be noted that down jackets and cotton-padded jackets have two cleaning methods: washing and dry cleaning. You need to choose according to the product description when using them. In addition, depending on personal needs and climate conditions, you can also wear a windproof jacket or waterproof shell outside a down jacket or cotton coat to increase warmth and cold protection.
