Duck down is the soft, fluffy underlayer of feathers from ducks, prized for insulation in jackets, comforters, and sleeping bags.
It traps air efficiently, providing warmth without bulk: a duck down parka, duck down pillows.
Distinguished from goose down, which is generally considered warmer and more expensive.
