The jacket never thought that he would be able to replace the fashion status of the down jacket and become the "new top stream".
That's right, with the heat of the mountain outdoor wind and the market environment where the price of down jackets has risen, the jacket has instantly counterattacked from the former "small transparent" to an "Internet celebrity", and everyone loves to wear it regardless of whether they play outdoors or not.
Among them, the "three-in-one jacket" is the most controversial. Some people think it's practical and practical, and some people think it's "chicken ribs" and "IQ tax".
I wore a camel and JEEP once, and I will tell you how I really feel~
1. Understand what is a "three-in-one jacket"?
Columbia, a well-known outdoor brand, launched the Interchange system concept in 1986, that is, the shell and inner tank can be freely disassembled and combined, and the "three-in-one jacket" is also born.
"Three-in-one" jacket (hard shell + inner tank) is worn in one outfit and three wears:
- 1. The inner tank can be worn inside or outside;
- 2. Windproof and waterproof hard shell, can be worn alone in the season when it is not cold;
- 3. When it's cold, wear the two pieces together.
It can better cope with sudden weather to make a quick response, and the "three-in-one" hard shell is also the standard for the implementation of the jacket: GB/T32614-2016 "Outdoor Sportswear Jacket".
The main materials of the inner tank are: fleece and down, and the corresponding standards for different materials are also implemented.
In addition to attaching a layer of inner tank, compared with the traditional hard shell, the hard shell of the "three-in-one jacket" is basically lined with cloth.
2. Why is the "three-in-one jacket" popular?
Although the concept of "three-in-one jacket" was launched by Columbia, it is not popular in Europe and the United States, and even many first- and second-tier outdoor brands do not do "three-in-one".
In China, the "three-in-one jacket" may be like a diamond, which has become a "selling point" in the mouth of merchants at a specific time and under a special environment, creating a trend for everyone to follow, and then becoming a hit in China.
Compared with the hard shell, the "3-in-1 jacket" is more functional, in addition to waterproof, it also has a warm effect, and can be worn from spring to winter, which may be one of the reasons why it is popular.
3. Why is it said that the "three-in-one jacket" is a chicken rib and an IQ tax?
In fact, for the real outdoor bigwigs, they don't recommend the "three-in-one jacket" very much, but think it's chicken ribs and IQ tax, why?
Reason (1): The weight is too heavy and the functionality is not strong
A "three-in-one jacket" is composed of a hard shell + inner tank, and its weight is equivalent to two pieces of clothing, which is heavy and bloated to wear.
Secondly, although the "three-in-one" is fully functional, it is not very functional. A good jacket is measured not only by its wind and water resistance, but also by its breathability and moisture permeability. The hard shell of the "three-in-one" jacket is lined with cloth, and the air permeability is not as good as that of a single hard shell, and the moisture permeability is slightly inferior.
Reason (2): Lack of flexibility and lack of real wear
The "3-in-1 jacket" has a bloated and heavy version, which is not flexible to wear in outdoor environments, and reduces the sensitivity of the body in the face of sudden weather and environment.
When you close the zipper, you feel hot, open and cold, it seems to be fully functional, but in fact it is not really worn.
Reason (3): First- and second-tier big names rarely do "three-in-one"
In addition to Columbia, such as the well-known first- and second-tier outdoor brands "One Bird, Two Elephants and Three Rats", including Patagonia, they rarely make "three-in-one jackets", and no one wears such jackets abroad.
On the other hand, in the domestic market, more brands and merchants use this as a gimmick. For sellers, selling a 3-in-1 is equivalent to selling two clothes, but for buyers, it is equivalent to spending an extra amount of money, really don't be obsessed!
Fourth, the end of the article summary
Hard shell = jacket, is an extended item, it can not only be matched with fleece, down jacket, cotton clothing, even a piece of clothing can be very flexible.
- The "three-in-one jacket" is more suitable for northern cities, which can solve the needs of windproof, rainproof and warm, and is also very convenient to put on and take off;
- If you are doing professional hiking or outdoor activities, it is more recommended to combine a hard shell with an insulating layer, which is more flexible and more in line with your needs for outdoor sports.
Finally, remind everyone that when buying a jacket, you must remember:
Pay attention to the "washing label" and "implementation standard" of the jacket, class C can not be worn closely, you have to wear a base, class B can be worn directly close to the body.
