Fill power is a number that denotes the quality of down. The higher the fill power, the fluffier the feathers. These fluffy, or lofty, feathers trap air pockets that create a layer of insulation between the cold air and your body. Since this depends on the quality of feathers, rather than the quantity, comforters with a fill power of 750 actually weigh less than those with a fill power of 500. The lower the fill power, the more feathers required to achieve the same level of warmth.

Fill weight is the quantity of down in comforters, jackets, sleeping bags, etc. The more feathers, the higher the fill weight.

CUIN measures insulation in regard to down.  CUIN stands for cubic inches per once and indicates how much volume (cubic inches) is filled by one ounce (27.3 grams) of down.  For simplicity sake, we can say that the higher the CUIN value of a jacket, the better it insulates (assuming everything else equal).  

Mix of down and feathers: Down binds more air than feathers and also offers better insulation. This means that the higher the percentage of down in a jacket, the better the insulation compared to a jacket of the same weight. If you see information such as "90/10", this means that for every 100 grams of padding in your jacket, 90 grams are down.
