duck feathers
Soft waterproof insulation
Duck feathers are the plumage of ducks, notable for their water-resistant properties.
The outer feathers shed water while the soft underlayer (down) traps air for insulation.
Duck down fills jackets, comforters, and pillows: a down jacket, duck feather pillows.
The phrase like water off a duck's back describes criticism that fails to affect someone.
