The easy to use, safe and washable high performance product for down-filled clothing and equipment. Down-filled items are used for lightweight insulation to keep you warm. Due to the structure of down, it traps air between the fibers. This air is heated by body heat, insulating the user. Down-filled items are used for lightweight insulation to keep you warm. Due to the structure of the down, it holds air between the fibers. This air is heated by body heat and thus insulates the user. When down gets wet, it starts to clump. As a result, it loses its airiness and insulating capacity because it can no longer hold air properly. When it gets wet, down loses all its insulating properties because water conducts heat away from the body up to 25 times faster than air. It also becomes heavier and its breathability is greatly impaired, making you feel cold, wet and uncomfortable. Down-filled items are most at risk of becoming sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. It is therefore important to prevent your down-filled gear from getting wet by maintaining its long-lasting water repellency (DWR). The outer fabric of your down-filled item, like the down inside it, must be properly maintained so that comfort is maintained. Eventually, the DWR will wear off.
