    Waterproof Down!

    Anyone ever hear of this stuff?

    I'm not too concerned about getting my down wet but the fact that it dries faster does sound very appealing, if they can make some 900 fill Dri-Down I might be interested.

    Came across this a couple of months back - seems pretty innovative if not in the very early stages! Love to see how this pans out in time.

    I wonder if it's just a treatment such as this:

    Haven't seen any reviews or anything but ran across it this afternoon when walking about the Go Outdoors shop in Manchester. Your post made me think of it again this evening.

    Any guess as to how much it will add to the price of down filled items?
