Down Jacket Testing

The down jacket, known more commonly in the fashion industry as a puffer jacket or simply puffer, is a quilted coat which is insulated with either duck or goose feathers. Air pockets created by the bulk of the feathers allow for the retention of warm air. Down is a fantastic insulator as the loft (or fluffiness) of down creates thousands of tiny air pockets which trap warm air and retain heat, thus helping to keep the wearer very warm in cold winter weather.

To ensure high quality and safety of down jacket, manufacturers have to make sure all products comply to existing and relevant standards. By producing down jacket in accordance with national and international regulations, potential risks can be minimized and the interest of both textile manufacturers and consumers can be protected.

STEMart provides comprehensive down jacket testing services to provide inspection reports that meet relevant regulations and international standards, thus proving the quality and safety of down jacket products.
