With the rise of outdoor sports, jackets with both functionality and fashion have also become a hot spot for consumption. But by accident, the jacket was bought into a jacket!
How to distinguish a real and fake jacket?
The jacket is a garment made of textile fabrics with waterproof and moisture permeability for outdoor sports. It can effectively block the invasion of rain and frost and snow, and the water cannot penetrate into the clothes, so people will not feel wet and cold; At the same time, it can discharge the sweat generated by the human body in time to obtain better heat and humidity comfort.
Many consumers often only pay attention to the style when buying a jacket, thinking that as long as the product name is called a jacket, it has the function of a jacket, but in fact, it is not.
At present, there is some chaos in the jacket market, many online sales of jackets, advertising is a sports jacket or casual jacket, and the implementation standard of the tag is FZ/T 81007-2022 or FZ/T 81007-2012, in fact, it is a sheep's head to sell dog meat, FZ/T 81007-2022 is the "single, clip clothing" standard, is suitable for woven fabric production of single, clip clothing, does not have functional requirements, to buy such clothes is to buy a jacket like a jacket.
The national standard for jackets is GB/T 32614-2023 or GB/T 32614-2016 standard, and the new standard will be implemented on April 1 this year.

How to choose a jacket?
- It depends on the tag
Pay attention to whether the implementation standard is GB/T 32614-2023 or GB/T 32614-2016, it is recommended to purchase GB/T 32614-2023 standard, and the production date of GB/T 32614-2016 will be slightly earlier.
- The machining process should be checked
For newly purchased jackets, check whether the seams of the fabric of the clothes have undergone special treatment such as adhesive strips to prevent rainwater from flowing into the inside of the clothes from the seams, and whether the adhesive strips have fallen off.
The fabric used in some jackets is no problem itself, but the processing technology can't keep up, and only the same processing technology as ordinary clothing is used, and the seams of the fabric will seep water. The above-mentioned jackets marked with the standard of "single and clip clothing" basically have this situation.
Can the jacket be machine washed?
Some people say that once the jacket is washed in the washing machine, the waterproof layer will be washed off, and it can no longer be waterproof.
This is not accurate. Washing does easily affect the performance of the waterproof coating, but as long as the method is done properly, the jacket can also be washed in a washing machine.
- Waterproof clothing has a hydrophobic coating on the surface, which is susceptible to damage during use and washing.
- A damaged coating doesn't mean it's not waterproof at all, but comfort will be reduced.
- Machine washing is not an absolute contraindication, and mild mode + neutral detergent reduces coating loss.
- When the coating is damaged, there are special products that can help improve the waterproofing of the garment.
