HI
This down jacket is 600 down fill. Does any one know what is the percentage of the down vs the feathers?
In general how to decide between 600 down fill vs 60% down?

The down is the feathers. I'm a little confused by your question. But 600 fill down means 1 oz. has a volume of 600 cubic inches, whereas, an 800 fill jacket would fill 800 cubic inches of space for the same weight (1 oz.). Does this help?
