Core Viewpoint - The article discusses a comparative test conducted by the Shenzhen Consumer Council on 16 different brands of outdoor jackets, highlighting the importance of features such as waterproofing, durability, and comfort in outdoor apparel [1][3]. Group 1: Testing Brands and Prices - The tested brands include The North Face, Decathlon, Camel, Quechua, Jack Wolfskin, Xtep, JD.com, Li Ning, Toread, Semir, HLA, Kelty, Shixia, Taiping Bird, Columbia, and Anta [3]. - The sampling prices for the jackets range from 209.75 yuan to 1927 yuan [3]. Group 2: Testing Standards and Chemical Safety - The testing was based on the national standard GB/T 32614-2023, which includes chemical safety indicators such as PFOS and PFOA [4]. - Among the 16 jackets tested, only two brands, Decathlon and Quechua, were labeled as "fluorine-free" products [4]. - All tested samples showed no detectable levels of PFOS, and 8 samples had no detectable levels of PFOA, with 10 samples meeting the limit of <1.0μg/m² for both substances [4]. Group 3: Physical Performance and Durability - All 16 samples met the standard requirements for tear strength, with 7 samples exceeding 20N in both directions, indicating good durability [6]. - The abrasion resistance of all samples met the standard requirement of ≥10,000 cycles, and the appearance after washing and lightfastness also complied with the standards [6]. Group 4: Waterproof Performance - The waterproof performance was evaluated based on surface wetting resistance and hydrostatic pressure [7][9]. - After three washes, 7 samples achieved a surface wetting resistance of level 4 or higher, indicating good waterproofing [7]. - Five samples scored high in hydrostatic pressure tests, demonstrating strong waterproof capabilities [10]. Group 5: Breathability - The moisture permeability rate is crucial for comfort, with 6 samples exceeding 8000g/㎡•24h after three washes, indicating good breathability [11]. Group 6: Overall Evaluation - Among the 16 tested samples, 7 received a five-star rating based on laboratory testing results [12].
