WATER RESISTANCE PRIMALOFT COMPARING TO DOWN

You might think that because down comes from water birds, it’s highly water-resistant. However, this could not be further from the truth. Down doesn’t need to be water-resistant to keep water birds warm. First, the exterior feathers of these birds are water-resistant due to the structure of the feathers’ filaments and the way they hook together.

Secondly, these feathers create a tight layer that creates a physical barrier between the down and the water. And finally, nearly all water birds produce waterproofing oils that they spread on their feathers when they preen. All of this means that the down of waterbirds virtually never touches water.

Because down has such a soft structure, it has absolutely no water resistance. The minute down gets wet, it clumps and loses all of its insulating ability. If down gets wet, you have to manually break up the clumps as it dries. You can do this pretty easily in the safety of your laundry room, but if you’re out in the field, your down-filled gear can become a liability if it gets wet. This is why a lot of modern down-filled gear is made with waterproof outer materials. If you’re going to be hiking in an area where there’s heavy rainfall or other wet conditions, make sure that your down-filled gear’s water resistance is still performing well.

PrimaLoft, on the other hand, was designed to outperform down when wet. Water rolls right off the polyester fibers and is wicked away to the outer layer, meaning that your PrimaLoft-filled gear will keep you warm even if water gets into the insulation. When it comes to wet weather conditions, there’s no comparing the two— PrimaLoft outperforms down every time.
