    Question: When did HG start using WR Down?

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could tell me when HG started using treated WR Down? Have had my eye on an older UQ from someone (Dec 2013 model) and was wondering if it was reg down or treated. Thanks for any answers. 8)

    Have you tried calling them directly?

    If you know the original owner's name, maybe they can look up the stats.

    I hated to bother them tbh, but I might try them.

    Mid-late 2013. He made the announcement that they switched to exclusively Activ-Dri in November(ish) of that year.

    If it was purchased in December 2013, chances are better than not that it was water resistant down. The other way to tell is whether or not they remember if it was 900 fill or not, since prior to the Activ-Dri that's what they used.
