    The specific differences between goose down and duck down are as follows:

    1. The size of the down is different: the mature goose down is longer than the mature duck down silk, the down is large, and the down is full.

    2. Different fluffiness: the goose down feather branches are evenly distributed with smaller water chestnut nodes, and the water chestnut nodes on the duck plush are larger, and concentrated at the end of the small feather branches, so the goose down can produce a larger distance space, better fluffiness, and stronger warmth.

    3. Different elasticity: goose feathers have better curvature, finer and softer than duck feathers, better elasticity and stronger resilience.

    4. Different tastes: ducks have a fishy smell, duck down has more fat content, and generally has a fishy smell, which is called "fatty fishy" or "duck and fox smell" in the industry. The goose has almost no peculiar smell, so the goose down has little fat content and almost no peculiar smell.

    5. The yield is different: duck down can produce up to 3 seasons a year, but goose down only produces 1 season a year, and the down production of each goose is small. The high cost of goose breeding determines that goose down is much higher than duck down.

    In general, the quality of goose down is better than duck down, goose down is warmer, and the corresponding ** is also higher. The filling types of down products include white goose down, gray goose down, white duck down, gray duck down, goose and duck mixed down, etc. White and gray velvet differ only in color.

    70% down 30% feather finger filling has 70% down, 30% feathers, feather refers to feathers.

    The quality of the quilt core mainly depends on its standard pile content and filling capacity. According to the QB T light industry standard, the down content must be higher than 50% in order to be called a down product, otherwise it can only be called a feather product.

    The higher the pile content, the better the quality; The larger the down, the higher the corresponding fill power and the better the quality.

    Goose down is definitely a bit better than duck down.

    But eiderdown is more common.

    In terms of warmth, goose down is definitely warmer than duck down.

    Goose down, it has large down and small feathers, good quality, full elasticity, strong warmth, better moisture absorption, sweat permeability, relatively dry, and higher fluffiness.

    Because the principle of keeping warm is mainly based on the amount of fixed air, that is, the fluffier the thing, the more air it can contain, and the warmer it is.

    The size of the down fibres is directly related to how much air is fixed, so the best down always comes from larger, more mature birds.

    The volume of goose down fiber is larger than that of duck down fiber, and the amount of fixed air is also greater than that of duck down fiber, so it is naturally warmer than duck down.

    If it is 100% down jacket filling, the 70% down inside refers to the down is the down of the feather near the root, and the feather is the feather with a hard stem.

    I hope mine can help you.

    Trouble, thanks!

    There is only one difference between 80 percent and 90 percent down: the difference in down content.

    However, the down content ≠ the filling amount. "Down content" refers to the percentage of down and down in feather down, which shows the deterioration of the down garment filling, which is a mandatory requirement. The "filling volume" refers to the weight of all the down filled with the down jacket, which is now the weight of the thin thickness of the filling.

    There are 3 main performance indicators for down:

    The first indicator is the filling weight, such as 400 grams of goose down sleeping bags, 1100 grams of duck down sleeping bags, this weight does not mean the weight of the sleeping bag, but refers to the net weight of the filling down;

    The second indicator is the down content, which is composed of feathers and down, the feathers have a supporting effect, and the warmth mainly comes from the fine down. The down content is expressed as a percentage, for example, 80 fleece means that the content of velvet in 100 weight units is 80 units. The highest down content of duck down is generally 85 to 90, and the down content of goose down can reach 90 to 95;

    The third indicator is the expansion of the down, the expansion refers to how many cubic inches an ounce of down is under gram pressure, the higher the expansion of the down, the better the warmth of the down.

    Duck down: The down is small, the fluffiness is low, and the comfort is slightly worse than goose down.

    Goose down: The down is large, full, high fluff and very comfortable.

    Let's talk about the conclusion first] according to the ** order: white goose down gray goose down white duck down gray duck down.

    Sort according to warmth: white goose down = gray goose down White duck down = gray duck down.

    1. The goose down is bigger. Equally ripe goose down is much larger than duck down, and it was said above that a larger down means more fluffiness and better warmth.

    2. Goose down is fuller. The maturation time of the goose generally takes more than 3 months, the older the goose, the fuller the down, while the maturity time of the duck is more than 1 month, and the fullness of the down is not as large as the goose down.

    3. Goose down has higher fluffiness. In terms of each down, goose down is larger, fuller, more fluffy, and has better warmth, while the contrast of duck down is much lower.

    4. Goose down rebound is better. Compared with duck down, goose down is finer and softer, and under the same amount of down, the fluffiness is higher, and the resilience is better when pressed lightly.

    5. Goose down has no peculiar smell. Goose is vegetarian, duck is omnivorous, the benefit of vegetarian is that the peculiar smell of goose down is smaller, after processing the product, it can basically be very clean and odorless, while duck is omnivorous, even after treatment, duck down will still have a little peculiar smell.

    So in general, the cost of goose down is much higher than that of duck down, which is the main reason why goose down is more expensive than duck down.

    1. The size of the particles is different.

    Goose down has high hollowness, good fluffiness and excellent resilience, so the down is large and the particles are larger than duck down.

    The volume of duck down fiber is smaller than that of goose down fiber, and the amount of fixed air is also smaller than that of goose down fiber, so the particles are small.

    2. There is a difference in warmth.

    Goose down has 50% more fill power than duck down, so it has better warmth.

    The thermal conductivity of duck down itself is very poor, and the warmth is not as good as goose down.

    3. The taste is different.

    Ducks like to eat insects in the water, in the process of decontamination and degreasing, some processing plants even use deodorant, although the newly bought down jacket can not smell, but after a few months there is a fishy smell.

    Geese are herbivores, so goose down does not have a peculiar smell problem, which ensures green environmental protection from the source.

    4. **Different.

    Down jackets made of goose down, because the current market price of one kilogram of goose down is more than 500 yuan, so goose down clothes are expensive.

    Due to the large number of ducks, the cost of duck down is low, and the goods produced are relatively cheap.
