Technology Explanation
It’s widely accepted that down is the best insulation available… lighter, warmer, more compressible, and more durable than any other natural or synthetic insulation ever created. But down has one major flaw. As it gets wet from rain, condensation, humidity, or sweat, it begins losing its loft and its ability to keep you warm.
DriDown’s™ hydrophobic finish is key to its outstanding performance of DriDown™, enabling sleeping bags insulated with DriDown™ to stay drier, loft better, and dry faster than bags insulated with untreated down. This means any bag insulated with DriDown™ will keep you warmer, longer in any situation.
Environmental Example
In an 80% relative humidity environment, an untreated 15-degree down sleeping bag loses up to 30% of its loft over a period of eight hours. A 30% loss of loft essentially turns a 15-degree sleeping bag into a 30-degree sleeping bag. DriDown™ sleeping bags avoid this loss of thermal efficiency by retaining 98% of their loft, keeping you warmer all night long on both short and extended trips into the backcountry.
