CONVENIENT REAR OF STORE PARKj 86 West Main, Lehi 768481 ! si I i Selecting a down garment Knowing what to look for in a down garment will help you to make a wise purchase. Seams should be well sewed and secured, to prevent the down from working its way out. The garment should be well quilted. Preferably the . quilting stitches should run both vertically and horizontally. Quilting helps keep the down in place, so that it will not bunch up at the bottom of the garment. Quilting lines should be about eight to 10 inches apart. Check the fullness of the quilted areas. The greater the fullness of the quilted squares or channels, the greater insulating quality the item will have. The shell materials should be a very tightly woven fabric or should be specially treated to prevent the down from working its way out. Nylon and cottonsynthetic blends are often used as the shell material. Cotton alone is sometimes used, but not for garments intended for heavy use. Cotton is not as durable for its weight as cottonsynthetic blends, and it absorbs water readily. Make sure the garment fits properly. The garment should fit closely but not snugly and should allow free movement. There should not be any tight spots where the ' down will compress, making cold spots. Be aware of design features. For greatest warmth a garment should fit snugly at neck, waist and wrists, to keep warm air in and cold air out. If you are looking for maximum warmth in a parka, for example, an insulated hood, a storm flap (a flap covering the front zipper), a drawstring at the waist and handwarmer pockets are features to look for. A nylon zipper is preferable to a metal zipper. Look for even distribution of down. The down is usually kept in pake with sewn-through channels, but sewn-through seams can make cold spots, especially if the garment is understuffed. There are several designs to avoid these cold spots. If you are buying the garment for use in very cold weather you might want to consider them. The garment can have an unquilted outer shell that covers the quilted lining, or can be constructed in two layers,, one inside the other, with the seams offset. In a pocket construction, baffles can be sewn between the inner and outer shells to avoid sewn-through seams entirely. These features make the garment warmer but also more expensive.
