AllChinaBuy Jackets
Hardware, lining, and weatherproofing — the key details that make or break an outerwear purchase through AllChinaBuy.
About This Category
Outerwear is where construction complexity peaks. A jacket involves multiple fabric layers, hardware (zippers, snaps, drawcords), insulation, and often weatherproofing treatments. In the AllChinaBuy spreadsheet, jacket entries tend to include more detail about material composition because the difference between a solid piece and a disappointing one is stark. Zippers should glide smoothly, lining should not bunch, and seam taping should be present on waterproof styles. Weight and packability are also important for seasonal versatility.
What to Look For
- YKK or equivalent zippers are the minimum standard.
- Lining should be attached cleanly without pulling.
- Cuff velcro or snaps should feel secure.
- Check for seam taping on waterproof styles.
- Insulation fill should be evenly distributed.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming all jackets are waterproof without checking the entry.
- Ordering insulation-heavy jackets for mild climates.
- Ignoring zipper brand and glide quality.
- Not verifying whether the hood is detachable.
- Skipping the inside-lining QC photo check.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a jacket is waterproof?
The spreadsheet usually notes whether a jacket is water-resistant, waterproof, or untreated. For waterproof claims, look for seam taping, a membrane layer, or DWR coating in the description.
What does fill power mean for puffer jackets?
Fill power measures the loft of down or synthetic insulation. Higher numbers mean more warmth with less weight. Most spreadsheet entries note fill weight rather than fill power, so use total weight as a proxy.
Should I size up for layering?
Yes, if you plan to wear hoodies or sweaters underneath. Check the spreadsheet chest measurement and add 4-8cm for comfortable layering room.
Are the zippers usually branded?
Quality entries in the spreadsheet often specify YKK zips. If the entry does not mention zipper brand, inspect QC photos for smooth operation and solid pull-tab construction.
