Down products are the insulation of
choice for everyone
European bedding to wilderness
expeditions.
Down is also the insulation of
choice for billions of migrating
birds who spend time in both
freezing wet arctic conditions and
warm tropical conditions.
羽绒仍然是最松软的

Why Down?
为什么要选择羽绒?

Down is a natural, sustainable, renewable product.

Down is washable in cold or hot water. After multiple washings,
down retains and revives its lofting capability.

Down and feathers are safe and clean. All countries in the world
have minimum cleanliness/hygienic requirements.

羽绒是一种自然的、价格适宜的、可更新的原料.

羽绒可以用冷水或热水清洗，多次洗涤后羽绒仍可恢复原来的蓬
松状态

羽绒和羽毛既干净又安全。世界上所有国家都对其有最低的清洁
和卫生要求。

湿度控制
Moisture management:
湿度控制:
The ability of fill material to
absorb moisture from the
interior of bedding or clothing
and transmit it to the exterior.
填充材料从床上
用品或衣服内部
吸收湿气并将其
散发到外面的能
力。

Resilience
Down is resilient over time and
after repeated use and cleaning.
恢复能力
羽绒可以在多次使用和
清洗过之后恢复其弹力
•
IDFL tested an eiderdown sleeping bag
manufactured in 1929. The down was still in
excellent shape. Down quilts that have been
passed down through families continue to be
passed down, and still maintain their quality.
•IDFL曾经对1929年制作的羽绒被
的样品进行过检测。其羽绒被仍保
持极好的形状。羽绒被可以在家里
一代一代传下去仍然保持其质量；
•
Down retains fill power and insulation quality
after multiple launderings.
•经过多次洗涤后，羽绒仍能保持
其蓬松度和保温性能；
•
Military Jet Fighter emergency sleeping bags are
vacuum packed in size of a small book and
retain insulation after years of storage.
•军队战斗机飞行员的紧急睡袋由
真空包装成一本书的大小，在储存
多年后仍能保持其保温性能；
•
IDFL tested 18 Fill Power samples after 5 years
of storage. The average fill power loss was less
than 50 points.
•IDFL检测过存放5年后的18个样品，
它们的平均蓬松率损失不到50个点。
Insulation
• Gram per gram, down is most
efficient insulation product in
the world
• The evolution of down for 300
million years has created a
unique natural structure with
millions of barbs that
interconnect to trap air.
• Moisture, air circulation and
warmth increase the insulation
ability.
• During the consumer use of a
down product the insulation
ability increases.
• Laundering down maintains
and revives the insulation ability.
保温性能
•
从重量上来说，羽绒是世界上
最有效的保温材料；
•
羽绒经过3亿年的进化，已经
建立了一套独特的自然结构，
它们成千上万的相互连接的到
钩结构保持空气在其内部；
•
湿度、空气循环和温暖增加了
其保温性能；
•
消费者在使用羽绒产品时，增
加了其保温性能；
•
洗涤羽绒会保持和恢复其保温
性能。
Reduced
Flammability
降低可燃性
• Down is low risk compared
with other fill materials
• 羽绒相比其它填充材料来说，
其危险性要小；
•
• 羽绒产品可以通过可燃性的
检测；
Down products pass
flammability tests.
• Other materials (especially
synthetics) require FR or
other treatments to pass the
same tests.
•
The State of California has
tentatively exempted down
comforters from its
proposed flammability
standards.
• 其它材料（尤其是人工合成
材料）需要进行防火处理才
能通过同样的检测；
• 在美国加州，羽绒被的防火
性能可以免检。
Reduced Allergens
• Contrary to common belief,
down and feathers are in
many cases less likely to
cause allergens.
• Down fabrics are
downproof which stops
dust mites from entering a
down pillow.
• One New Zealand study
showed that down pillows
are less likely to harbor
dust mights compared to
synthetics.
减少过敏
• 与通常的看法恰恰相反，
在许多情况下，羽绒和羽
毛比其它产品所产生的过
敏要少得多；
• 羽绒制品的面料是防钻绒
的，它可以阻止微尘进入
羽绒枕头；
• 一项新西兰的研究表明，
羽绒枕头相比其它人造合
成材料的产品来说，更不
容易聚集灰尘。

Down vs. Non-Down
羽绒与非羽绒
There is no “Synthetic Down”
不存在“人造羽绒”
真正的人造羽绒还没有制造
出来。实际上，“人造羽绒”
这个词在欧洲是非法的。对
这些人造合成制品的正确用
词是“羽绒替代物”。
No true synthetic down has
ever been developed. In fact
the term “synthetic down” is
illegal in Europe. The proper
term for such synthetics is
“down alternative”.
Continuing research is
ongoing to evaluate

•
羽绒仍然是世界上最好的保温材料
对于羽绒的需求及其价格还在保持上涨
供应不足和高昂的价格在诱惑着质量问题
• In 2006 many quality problems are causing product failures:
- High % fiber
- High % landfowl
- Crushed feathers
- Low Down Cluster %
- Duck in Goose Products
- Non-downproof Fabric
• 在2006年，使产品失败的诸多质量问题:
- 高 % 纤维
- 高 % 陆禽毛
- 破碎羽毛
- 低羽绒绒朵 %
- 鸭绒在鹅绒中
- 无防钻绒面料
• Because of quality
problems in 2006 European
& American buyers will be
testing arriving containers
of finished products.
• Also, government agencies
+ associations like ADFC
will inspect and test
products on store shelves.
• IDFL Europe & IDFL USA
will do much of this testing.
• 由于在2006年出现的质量
问题，欧洲和美国的购买
者将对所到成品的填充物
进行检测。
• 同时，政府的代理人和各
种协会象ADFC将检查和
检测在商店货架上的产品。
• IDFL 欧洲部门和IDFL 美
国部门将承担许多这样的
检测。
