Water resistant down quilt
Posted: Sat 27 Jul, 2013 11:05 amI understand that water resistant (WR) down products have been on the market for a year or so now. Has anyone had any experience with the product?
It seems to me that a light WR down quilt may be a good replacement for my light synthetic bag/quilt for tropical camping in the hammock. I expect for a 8-12oc quilt I would cut the weight from about 800g currently to possibly 400g or so. But the down needs to deal with the damp, humid, often sweaty situation . Any thoughts on this application?
