What is Down Jacket made of?
A down jacket is a jacket that has been insulated with soft and warm under feathers from ducks or geese.
Down is a fantastic insulator as the loft (or fluffiness) of down creates thousands of tiny air pockets that trap warm air and retain heat, thus helping to keep the wearer very warm in cold winter weather.
