Down
The most valuable part of the plumage of ducks and geese - soft and light cluster, which provides perfect thermal insulation, retains moisture and gives comfort.
The quality of down is measured by Fill Power, which shows the ability of down to recover its volume after compression.
The higher the Fill Power the better the down quality is. Fill power ranges from about 300 to 900 in³/oz.
"IL-PROM PLUS" checks each kilogram of feather and down at all stages of production on moisture content and the ability to restore the volume after compression.
Feathers
The basic features of goose and duck feathers is elasticity, strength, flexibility and ability to recover form. Feathers differs in size and shape. There are large flight feathers and small feathers which cover the exterior of the body and down feathers.
Unlike down (or cluster) feathers have a central core. Normally we add soft feathers to down fillings for jackets and sleeping bags to keep its form.
