羽绒服 (yǔróngfú, "down jacket") combines 羽 (yǔ, "feather") + 绒 (róng, "soft down") + 服 (fú, "clothing"), directly naming clothing filled with down.

Usage tips

  • English jacket often suggests a shorter garment, but this Chinese term can also cover longer winter outerwear, so length is specified separately when it matters.
