WHAT IS FILL POWER?
What Is Fill Power?
Fill power is a measure of the loft or fluffiness of down insulation. In simpler terms, it tells you how much space one ounce of down occupies. The higher the fill power, the better the down traps air, providing superior insulation and warmth without adding extra bulk.
Fill power ratings typically range from around 450 to 900. Higher numbers indicate better insulation.
Fill Power Breakdown
450 to 550: Entry-level insulation, typically used in casual outerwear.
600 to 750: High-quality insulation that balances warmth and lightweight comfort.
750 and Above: Premium insulation for extreme cold-weather conditions, offering top-tier warmth with minimal weight.
