Foreword
Fortunately, I received the evaluation of the Marmot-J73060 water-repellent goose down jacket, and on the equipment evaluation, based on my previous experience and actual use results, I decided not to perform a single high-intensity test experience on the equipment and change it into a long-term use. After careful consultation with equipment coolers and brand parties, I began to conduct a one-and-a-half-month trial of down jackets during this period. During the mid-term period, I experienced the coldest January in Beijing and the coldest in Hokkaido. Month, at this moment, down jacket has a more objective understanding and detailed experience. At the same time, I will also change the writing style of most of the previous evaluation articles. For my own actual wearing experience, I will make a detailed report for everyone in the form of similar travel notes.
Appearance and design
Speaking of down jackets, we still need to introduce the parameters. The Marmot-J73060 down jacket I received this time is a dark blue/Arctic blue down jacket, which is more suitable for most people to wear everyday than their orange counterparts. The water-repellent and goose down volume of 700 canopy is filled, the goose down filling ratio is 85%, and the filling capacity is more than 210 grams. Compared to various types of ultra-thin down jacket with filling capacity of only 70 grams on the market, this down jacket is a real hit. The medium-thick section of the down jacket, which is mainly cold, but thanks to the superiority of goose down, while providing the temperature protection, the weight of the clothes is really lighter than the similar products. This version of the down jacket is a normal version, not the so-called Slim version, after all, as a winter jacket, which also wear warm clothing, too self-cultivation is not conducive to sports and insulation, my height 180cm, weight 86kg, choose The size of the L, after wearing thermal underwear and thin zhuarong, still feels comfortable and unrestrained, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

Clothing details
Whether a dress is comfortable to wear in daily life and whether it is convenient for daily use, many of them are reflected in the details of the clothes. How about the details of this dress? There is no unique place, we take a closer look.
Chest pocket
In addition to the side pockets of the coat, the most used one is probably the chest pocket of the jacket. The groundhog is equipped with a chest pocket with a zipper head on the left side of this coat, which is most suitable for passport ID cards, etc. It is often necessary to present the documentary items.

Lightweight zipper head
cuff
The use of a combination of “Velcro stick + elastic mouth†design, the biggest advantage is that it avoids the shortcomings of the elasticity of the elastic mouth after multiple washings, and it can be used to adjust the looseness of the cuff through the Velcro. This is commendable.

Adjustable windproof cap
This down jacket is designed with a large capacity windproof cap. You don't put any pressure on you with a hat and then put on a windproof helmet. There's no problem with a slightly thinner helmet, and it will be shown later. Hood Drawstring External adjustment buckle and built-in DrawString can be adjusted directly on the outside by adjusting the buckle tightness of the wind cap or use the built-in drawstring tension, the advantage is that the outside looks very neat, no extraneous things. With the windproof cap, the main zipper pulls up to the top, the user only exposes the glasses part, and cooperates with the windbreaker, and can receive a good heat insulation and windproof effect.

Zippers, pockets, and drawstrings
The zipper of the down jacket adopts the YKK zipper, and the main zipper uses the up and down two-way zipper. During use, it was found that the zipper had one feature: When wearing clothes, the lower zipper head of the zipper must be pulled to the bottom, and the upper zipper head must be fully conformed to the lower zipper head before the main zipper can be closed. If you are slightly misaligned or skewed, you cannot close the zipper. In actual use, it is a bit tedious, but it ensures the closure of the main zipper teeth, avoiding the phenomenon of common zippers easily collapsing in motion. The main zipper head is a metal head, the chain teeth are resin, and the overall weight is very light. The lightweight positioning of this piece of clothing.
Main zipper - bidirectional metal zipper
The inner side of the down jacket has a built-in pocket with a zipper. It is also a YKK zipper. The zipper is a two-way zipper with an inner and outer structure. The inner pocket is very suitable for placing important items such as mobile phones and wallets. It is more than enough to put down a 5.5-inch mobile phone. Can be put into a 7-inch tablet computer, and because of the relationship between clothes type, there is no bulge on the outside, and the overall is very good. What deserves special mention is that the inner inboard pocket also has a storage function. When there is a need for a portable, you can use this pocket to store the entire garment.

The side pockets underneath the down jacket must be the pockets most often used by everyone. We may often need to put cell phones, maps, or other things that we need to use. The side pocket still uses a YKK zipper with drawstrings, and the space is about the size of the inside pocket. The side pockets also have built-in adjustment buckles that can single-handedly tighten the windproof drawstrings at the bottom of the down jacket. This is actually very critical, because we are in the winter with gloves. With gloves, we can tighten the drawstrings with one hand without removing gloves. Outdoor activities in winter are very convenient.

Details and workmanship
I have bought many outdoor products and I have to say that in the field of outdoor products, "Made In China" is a synonym for quality assurance compared to other places of origin. In order to pursue lower costs, outdoor brands have gradually begun to shift product lines to Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, which is the origin of this section of down apparel. I also have a lot of outdoor products made in Vietnam. Compared with similar products made in China, there are some deficiencies in certain details. Of course, brand quality control is the most critical, such as the details of this down jacket in my The Vietnamese-made outdoor clothing should belong to the best one. No thread and any twisting line were found. It took no more than one month to drill down. The cuff's Velcro also belonged to a softer, not a hard one. In the style, wearing a short sleeve and putting on this dress directly, the skin did not feel any thorns. The level of detail in this dress surprised me and made a new understanding of the quality control made in Vietnam and the prairie dogs.

Outdoor testing
According to the product introduction, the biggest focus of this section of down apparel is its water repellent goose down, which is more waterproof than normal duck down and goose down. Just in January 2018, Beijing ISPO outdoor exhibition was launched. I had the privilege of visiting the domestic prairie's general agent, and I consulted and discussed with the staff about the characteristics of this down jacket. The final conclusion is that the surface of the jacket is combined with the jacket. Fabrics and fillers, the positioning of this down jacket is to provide the wearer with the best thermal performance under high air humidity, and in order to consider the lightweight characteristics, using a thin outer material, but should avoid direct contact with water In order to ensure the best use of the effect; if you go to outdoor areas with large winds or high altitudes, you need to add a windbreak to withstand wind and tear.
Groundhog ISPO booth
After learning about these characteristics, I started field testing and selected two places. One is the Beijing area in China, and the second is the Hokkaido area in Japan. Then, for the different climate characteristics of these two places, my personal major experience And feel as follows:
I. Beijing
Test time: January 2018
Test temperature: The January temperature range in Beijing is approximately minus 10 degrees to 0 degrees and the coldest minus 16 degrees.
Test wind power: average wind force 3-4, maximum gust 7th.
Climate characteristics: It is cold and dry. Due to the special situation this year, Beijing has not had precipitation for nearly 4 months. The air humidity does not exceed 30%, which is very dry.
Experience and experience: Since Beijing belongs to the North China Plain and there is no rainfall for many days, it is only worn as a jacket on weekdays, and there are no other measures to prevent winds. When the gust wind reaches level 6, the body slightly feels wind through the jacket, but it is not obvious, the overall warming effect is better, wearing a thermal underwear and thin sweater, the average daily time in the city is one and a half Around the hour, Enron weathered the coldest January in winter, because the down jacket was thick and warm, and it was not recommended to wear large amounts of activity, otherwise it was really hot and sweating. The biggest problem caused by the dry climate should be the problem of static electricity. Especially after a long walk, because of the large amount of static electricity accumulated due to drying and friction, it is recommended that when the climate is similarly worn, it is best to touch the metal and discharge it before entering the door.
Second, Hokkaido
Test time: early February 2018
Test temperature: The February temperature range in Hokkaido is approximately minus 15 degrees - minus 5 degrees, and the coldest minus 15 degrees.
Test wind power: The average wind force is 2-3, and the maximum gust is 5.
Climate characteristics: cold and humid, snowfall almost every day, and each snowfall lasts for 2 hours or more. The air humidity is always kept at 80%-85%, but due to the warm ocean currents, the temperature is much warmer than in the northeast China region at the same latitude.
Experiential experience: I have lived in Beijing for many years. In the north of China, I have visited many places. However, except for the feeling of being colder than me, despite the heavy snowfall, the air still feels dry. After coming to Hokkaido, I feel the most. The difference is that the air humidity gives people a more comfortable feeling. The amount of snowfall is large, and the snow crystals are also relatively large. Because the temperature is relatively low, it falls on the clothes but it will not be dissipated quickly. It belongs to the more distinctive “powder snow†despite The temperature is very low, but the body temperature is not so low. Wearing this down jacket in Hokkaido, I only need to wear a thermal underwear inside, and because snowflake particles are relatively large, low in density and difficult to melt, they cannot penetrate the outer material of the down jacket, and the snow flakes fall off. During the seven-day experience in Hokkaido, no matter whether it was snowing, snow jumping or the whole person lying in the snow, there was no feeling of moisture or cold, but 80% of the humidity in the air actually existed. It can be said that this down jacket, due to the damp environment, the phenomenon of static electricity is reduced, making its body in a high-humidity environment even better than the dry environment. In Hokkaido, I shuttled between the three cities and experienced the mountain snow roads and the cold winds on the top of the mountain. In the always wet environment, the body does not feel any wetness. Here we can use the photos to experience the specific conditions.
First stop: Sapporo
On the first night of arrival, a subway is heavy snow. In addition to walking in the city for 3 days in Sapporo, I went skiing at Sapporo International Ski Resort. The temperature of the ski area is about minus ten degrees, and a soft jacket is placed outside. Shell, easy to ski throughout the day, the body temperature is very suitable, good clothing breathability. In addition to the 7 gusts that were occasionally scraped, there was no clear sense of wind in the rest of the time.

The second stop: Xiaoteng Tiangou Mountain
Otaru is a city in Hokkaido that is closer to the north than Sapporo, and the reference city in the same latitude is between Shenyang and Changchun. It belongs to the plain area. Because of the sea, there are more gusts. The elevation of Tiangou Mountain is not high, only 500 meters, but because Humidity is high, so the feeling of blowing on the face is very cold, like a frozen wet towel toward the face, but fortunately because wearing this coat, the body does not have this feeling. The snow on Tianduo Mountain is 1 meter thick. It is very difficult to walk in the snow. Tired in the snow and resting in the snow, wearing a down jacket and lying in the snow, it is like lying on a mat with a down sleeping bag. Of course, lying down. After 10 minutes of experience, the clothes were not wet. It was a surprise to me.

Third stop: Noboribetsu
As the last stop of this trip to Hokkaido, Noboribetsu is best known for its hot springs and heavy snowfall. The snow on the mountain roads is thicker than the snow on the top of Tenji-Tendog Mountain. You must take great care as you walk through them. The place where there is snow is very strong. In fact, it is very likely that it is a huge snow pit that is several meters deep. When you step on it, it falls. When I went to Noboribetsu to explore the road that day, the time was almost dusk. In order to catch the downhill before the darkness, I was trotting up and finished this section of the mountain about 4 kilometers away. In Hokkaido, this down jacket gave me the biggest The feeling is that even though it is colder than Beijing, the air is moister and more comfortable than when it is worn in a dry environment in Beijing. The body temperature is much higher than the ambient temperature. Therefore, I also recommend that friends in areas with more humid winter living environment choose similar water-repellent down jackets, which are much better than ordinary down jackets or friends in dry areas.

Conclusion
I am afraid that this assessment is the longest evaluation of my time. I tried one and a half months before and after the test. Presumably the previous high-intensity camping or concentration testing, I refused to water the product of this evaluation - marmot J73060 section The use of goose down jacket has a deeper understanding and experience. As a jacket used in winter, we are likely to wear it throughout the winter, perhaps 3-4 months long, and the water-repellent performance of this down jacket did not disappoint me. In the high-humidity Hokkaido region, the winter week's test time, it brought me the feeling is: just right, let me experience the comfort and warmth, only in terms of wearing a sense of body, is obviously better than the cold and dry Beijing area The high-humidity environment has also given full play to the features of this down jacket. In the winter, if a friend in a humid, cold area can have such a down jacket, he must not feel cold and helpless in the winter.
