We have a unique opportunity to see how it is made.

Test Lab.



Each lot of fluff, despite all the certificates held here verification. Take one ounce and is put under the yoke of a certain time. After that fluff must deal to the desired value.



This indicator «Fill Power» is fundamental in determining quality.
One hundred percent down is not the case, 93% - the maximum, the size of feathers from three to five millimeters, not more. In their feathers can not be detected even in this percentage.

Case jacket consists of three hundred to eight parts. This product retained technological openings through which it then filled with down. Tape technology - know-how. Thanks to the jackets are no pass-through suture needle that is never breaks through the entire fabric.



And now the most interesting - a feather shop.

And then he stuffed special bags, which are inserted into the product. Thanks to them, is not allowed vylezanija down outside. The company ensures that even wearing a jacket over the suit, and such sluchetsya often enough in modern business, excluded the possibility of "feather" on the jacket.



This product uses a goose down Russian producers included in the "European Association of down and feathers." Despite its funny name, such fluff after collecting a duck takes 18 stages of processing.



Clothing and eider feathers sewn customized after removal of the test measurements and manufacturing products on the usual fluff. There is such a jacket over a hundred and fifty thousand rubles.

Thus year thereof can be crosslinked around 9000 products. Such fluff going from nests during the nesting eiders. From one nest only 16 grams, and, naturally, they are not the most easily accessible places.



In contrast to the goose, down eider does not scatter. This is particularly important in extreme conditions, for example, if the jacket cut.



Despite the fact that the warmer and lighter down all other fillers, it is not ideal. Such clothing should not be worn where high humidity, such as in Antarctica.
