When down becomes wet, the surface tension of the water causes the down to collapse and it no longer canhold as much air. The air is what insulates.
It is known as the layering system. Several thin layers trap more insulating air between the layers. If you start to sweat, you take off a layer or two to cool down, and put the layers back on to warm up again. If you take off a heavy jacket, you will not have the layers underneath to prevent chilling. Usually, a heavy jacket means either being too hot or too cold when active outdoors.
Of an insulating material, the maximum electric field strength that it can withstand intrinsically without breaking down, i.e., without experiencing failure of its insulating properties.
down-filled coat
I am pretty sure Einstein wore a white laboratory jacket that went down past his knees and a vest and slacks.

it is filled with all that radiation and keeps the warmth in it
If a jacket is "down filled" it is filled with down. Down is the name for the delicate, lightweight feathers from a bird's belly, usually duck or goose.
It's a jacket used during snow. It basically is a coat filled with feathers that traps the air to create insulation.
Down comforter is a fabric shell filled with goose or duck down whereas the Down alternative is synthetic or natural filling material used in comforters and duvets, with insulating and warming properties similar to down.
Down is a much warmer material. It is also more expensive, but is worth it because it will last a long time also. Buy down!
Extreme Cold Weather gear issued by governments to temporary workers and scientists are down-filled parkas that reach the mid-thigh or lower. Any jacket would not be sufficient coverage for Antarctica.

A down jacket is very effective if you are in a very cold area in your state. For example a down jacket in New York is very useful since it will keep you warm in the winter then other regular winter coats.
