Insulated outerwear : fabrics and fillings

Abstract

"Shopping for outerwear such as a winter jacket, vest, ski pants or sleeping bag can be a difficult task with the many choices of fabrics and fillings. Kits are available for constructing many of these items at home with excellent savings for the consumer but again decisions must be made concerning the most appropriate fabrics and fillings. Once the choice has been made, satisfaction can be maintained if the garment is properly cleaned and stored."--First paragraph.
