Which is warmer, a cotton-padded jacket or a down jacket?

Down jacket is warmer than cotton-padded jacket.

Down jackets are usually filled with high-quality down, which contains a lot of fluff and fine feathers. These fluff and feathers form an airbag system, which can effectively isolate the external cold air and maintain the internal heat. In addition, the fabric of down jacket usually has waterproof and windproof functions, which further enhances its warm-keeping performance.

In contrast, cotton-padded jackets are generally filled with cotton. Although cotton also has a certain degree of thermal insulation, compared with down, its thermal insulation performance is poor. The fiber of cotton is relatively thick, which is easy to absorb water, and the warmth retention performance will decrease after absorbing water. In short, down jackets are usually warmer than cotton-padded jackets in terms of warmth. This is because down filler has better thermal insulation performance, while cotton has relatively poor thermal insulation performance.

Advantages of down jacket

1, strong warmth retention: the down filler in the down jacket has excellent warmth retention, which can effectively isolate the external cold air and keep the internal heat. Therefore, the down jacket can provide a good warm-keeping effect for the wearer in cold weather.

2. Lightness and softness: The fabric of the down jacket is soft and comfortable, and the filled down is also light and thin, so the down jacket is light and soft and very comfortable to wear.

3. Good air permeability: Down jackets are generally made of fabrics and fillers with good air permeability, which can effectively discharge sweat and moisture and keep the body dry and comfortable.

4, strong adaptability: down jacket is suitable for all kinds of weather and occasions, whether it is cold winter or cold morning and evening, you can wear it. At the same time, down jacket is also suitable for outdoor activities and travel, because it is light, easy to fold and easy to carry.
