down coat

Feather-filled jacket

A down coat is a jacket insulated with the soft, fluffy underfeathers of ducks or geese.

Down traps air efficiently, making these coats exceptionally warm relative to their weight.

They're popular for cold weather and outdoor activities: She packed her down coat for the ski trip.

Synthetic alternatives mimic down's properties but the term still implies natural feathers unless specified otherwise.
