About Flame-retardant Down Jacket Kids' Clothing

Flame-retardant Down Jacket is a protective down jacket designed for children's outdoor activities. The outer layer uses flame-retardant raw yarn fabric with a limiting oxygen index of up to 28 percent, so the garment does not catch fire immediately on contact with an open flame and releases no harmful gases at high temperatures. The flame retardancy remains after frequent washing and wear. A modular structure joins an inner liner and an outer jacket, which can be worn separately or together. Far infrared thermal fabric and a heat-retaining lining add warmth.

Production Technology: It innovatively uses a flame-retardant fabric of raw yarn that has a limiting oxygen index of up to 28%. It produces less smoke and doesn't give off harmful gases at high temperatures. Its flame retardancy is not affected by frequent washing and wear, making it safe for kids. It incorporates a far infrared heating function which, when combined with LITHERMO™ technology, boosts the thermal storage index by 30%, ensuring excellent warmth retention at low temperatures.
Design Challenge: Children's clothes on the market are typical of single function with less safety. Starting with the idea of protecting kids, we've carefully selected a windproof, waterproof, and flame-retardant fabric, and used a modular structure as well as multiple processes to dramatically enhance the product's warmth retention, flexibility, and comfort. Therefore, this product protects kids and can be used in multiple scenarios.
Research: In order to protect kids during outdoor activities, the outer layer of this jacket is made from flame-retardant raw yarn, ensuring it doesn't catch fire immediately if they accidentally come into contact with an open flame. In addition, with 700+ FP premium duck down, far infrared thermal fabric, and LITHERMO™ technology, it can provide enough warmth for kids even in temperature fluctuations from minus 5 degrees Celsius to minus 10 degrees Celsius.
Inspiration: As people tend to go outdoors for parent-child activities, there is a need for clothing that is comfortable and protective for kids. This product adopts a modular structure and features wind resistance, water resistance, and heat retention, providing kids with a variety of cost-effective clothing options for their outdoor adventures. The flame-retardant fabric of raw yarn ensures it remains non-flammable when exposed to open fires, making it a reliable choice for kids' protection.
Project Duration: The project finished in September 2023 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: The garment consists of an inner liner and an outer technical jacket that can be worn separately or together to create versatile outfits for different scenarios. Its 4:6 proportion is perfectly tailored to the body shape of children. It also has a new 18° arc sleeve design that allows kids to stretch freely. The outer layer is 3D printed with a reflective material to help keep kids safe at night.
