DownTek

DownTek™ is a hydrophobic down treatment developed by Down Decor. This technology involves applying a water-repellent coating to down feathers, enhancing their resistance to moisture. The treatment helps the down maintain its loft and insulation properties even when exposed to wet conditions. DownTek™ is used in various outdoor gear and apparel, such as sleeping bags and jackets, offering outdoor enthusiasts a solution to combat the negative effects of damp environments. While providing improved performance in wet conditions, users should be aware that some trade-offs, such as potential alterations to loft and warmth-to-weight ratio, may exist. DownTek™ is one of the proprietary hydrophobic down treatments used by manufacturers to create products that perform well in diverse weather conditions.
