down fill

Jacket's warm core

Down fill refers to the insulating material inside jackets, sleeping bags, comforters, and pillows—the soft, fluffy underfeathers from ducks or geese.

The term often appears in product specifications indicating how much down is used: The jacket has 800-fill down.

Higher fill numbers indicate greater loft and warmth for the weight.

Sometimes shortened to just fill: What's the fill on that sleeping bag?
