The words for coat and jacket are often regional, depending on area and country. - katydew, Nov 7, 2012

I asked someone in Chile today about the word they use for a down jacket since it gets quite cold here in the south of the country. They said they don't have a word for it but just say 'parka' whether it is filled with fiber or down.

The down from a duck is plumón.
I have a down cover for my bed and the word they use in Chile for that kind of cover is 'el plumón'. Not sure about the jacket though.
