down jacket

Insulated winter coat

A down jacket is an insulated garment filled with the soft, fluffy underfeathers of ducks or geese.

The filling traps air to provide warmth with minimal weight, making down jackets popular for outdoor activities and cold weather: I packed my down jacket for the ski trip.

Synthetic alternatives mimic down's properties but perform better when wet.
