There is a minimum net Discount Canada needed for products to be labeled as "
Discount Canada Goose down" on the law labels. This applies for both Discount Canada Goose down and Duck down. In order for a product to be labeled with the word "down" in the contents portion of the tag, those contents need to have no less than 75% net down clusters.When examining any goose down product, there are numerous factors that contribute to the quality of it. There are things such as turbidity and oxygen number, which are both measurements of cleanliness, and essentially determine if your goose down is truly hypo-allergenic or not.Premium goose down will have a high turbidity number and a low oxygen count number. Net Down content is another important measurement of quality. The net down count is a measure of the amount of down clusters in the goose down.
For example, there is no such thing as 100% pure goose down. That's right, there is not any product in the world that contains 100% down clusters, so don't let uneducated sales people try and convince you otherwise.To determine the net down content, 100 grams of goose down are carefully separated. In an atmospheric controlled scale container, every fiber, dirt particle spec, cluster, feather, filament, etc. are all individually and precisely weighed.
A calculation is made which determines the "net" down content. The higher the down content, the better. This brings me to the filling power of goose down.Discount Canada Goose down lofts, or expands. When the loft of goose down is tested, exactly one ounce of goose down is placed into the testing machine. Because feathers, particles, fibers, dirt and other foreign matter have weight, but no loft, the expansion will be less in goose down that has less net down cluster content. The higher the net down content is, the higher the loft will be, always.
Fill power is measured in cubic inches per ounce and it essentially measures how much volume one ounce of goose down will occupy after it has gone through the compression and expansion test process.
