[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1086125, member: 54178"] Re "Tim in Washington", I agree that when Western Mountaineering and Feathered Friends adopt the use of "waterproofed" down (DWR treat down) then we can use it with more confidence. ** There is some concern with Dri Down and Down Tech that the DWR will wear off with use, as it does on shell garments. Personally I think down DWR will adhere to the down plumules far better than it does to a hardshell fabric. It is this durability that needs to be tested. My Eddie Bauer First Ascent down vest with Dri Down is something I use more than I thought I would so I should see, after a few years, it it indeed still resists absorbing moisture, especially perspiration moisture.
