Group 1: Test Results Overview - All 16 jacket samples met the basic requirements for tear strength according to national standards, but over half of the samples had tear strength below 20N, indicating weaker performance [1][6]. - Specific brands such as UNDER ROCK, Camel, and The North Face showed lower tear strength, with UNDER ROCK's sample having a tear strength of only 9.3N, which is a quarter of the strength of the best-performing brand [3][6]. - The overall quality of the samples was stable, but significant performance differences were noted across various tests [3][4]. Group 2: Waterproofing and Moisture Resistance - The test evaluated surface moisture resistance and static water pressure, both critical for assessing waterproof performance [7][9]. - Seven brands, including Li Ning and Anta, achieved a surface moisture resistance rating of 4 or higher after three washes, indicating better waterproof capabilities [7][9]. - Conversely, brands like Camel and The North Face scored lower, with moisture resistance ratings of 2.5 and 3, respectively [9]. Group 3: Recommendations for Consumers - The Shenzhen Consumer Council advises consumers to check for the GB/T 32614-2023 standard label when purchasing jackets, as it indicates the level of waterproof and breathability features [10]. - Consumers are encouraged to select jackets with tightly woven fabrics and high-quality waterproof coatings, and to avoid those with strong odors that may indicate harmful chemical residues [10]. - It is recommended to minimize high-intensity washing and prolonged soaking of jackets to maintain their functional properties [10].
