activ-dri down

For those of you not receiving the JRB Newsletter.

We have received our initial supply of activ-dri down tm. It is now available as an option for all JRB quilts.

Activ-dri down is a polymer treated down that retains loft by maintaining fill power. Third party testing has consistently shown that active-dri down tm keeps down drier, while having no adverse effects on loft, fill power or warmth retention. It stays dry 5 times longer than untreated down. It dries 33 percent faster than untreated down. It is still down insulation and should be protected in use from direct moisture. All types of insulation, whether down or synthetic, will degrade in insulation capability if wetted.

Hey Pan how does it how up to cleaning? Does that break it down (no pun intended) :woot:
Is there a manufacturer's recommendation on that?

Awesome news Pan, I looked on your site but was unable to find it, what fill power is the dri-down?

Also do you have any word on whether you will get 900 again?

Just checked out your MW3. Looks like a good option for only $15 more.

Hawk-eye,

It will clean like regular down, no deterioration is expected.
