High Fill Power does not mean a lot of down, it is the measurement linked to how much volume (loft) a given mass of down will fill. The fill weight gives how much down is used in the garment.

A lack of lunch unfortunately leads to excruciating pedantry.

Si.

The "and" makes a lot of difference!

Ooops!
