$12 Hack Beats Expensive Down Jacket

A Down Jackets major weakness is water. Which is why companies have started treating down with Durable Water Repellent finish. But professionally treated down can be expensive. Which is why I want to see if this down jacket I treated at home with $12 waterproofing can keep me warm when wet?

Cleaning and Waterproofing Tips:
- Keeping your down items clean is super important. Dirt, body oils, and even campfire smoke residue can cause your down jacket to wet out prematurely and lose loft due to the feathers being dirty as well.
- FOLLOW THE CARE LABEL on your down-filled items. This will help make sure you don’t mess up your jacket/sleeping bag etc. If it says to wash on warm and tumble dry low- do that!
- Check your pockets before cleaning! Don’t be the person who washes a tube of lip balm into your jacket.
- Use a front loading washing machine for down items. Top loaders with agitators are harsh on fragile down, and down also has a tendency to float, making top loaders a poor choice.
- Fully drying your down items is also super important. It won’t fluff back up unless fully dry. This may take many cycles.
- Store your down in a nice loose bag. NOT in the stuff sack.
- Never put down away wet.
- Nikwax products are and always have been PFC/PFAS-free so they are safe to use in your home.

It's not very clear which jacket is which during the testing. Consider adding some labels for each test. Also, you need a control test. Wear the untreated jacket after sitting in the rain/dunking in the river vs the treated. additionally, show the temperature for the freezing environment as well as yourself. Couple be as simple as placing the meat probe against your skin before and after dawning the jacket.

FYI If you ever want to clean your washing machine detergent dispenser again, just push the little lever and pull the entire thing out and clean it in the sink or bathtub. Way easier than trying to clean it in place.

@haliaeetus8221 2 года назад

I have always done so. It's like old-school waxing of coats, bags and tarps but with modern chemistry. I try different products and even out of the box solutions sometimes depending on the needs. The most important first step investment is to buy multiple undergarments of wool! Because of its properties it is lifesaving to have wool closest to the skin! It creates its own "micro climate". Also to learn how to treat&wash wool properly. So all clothes and stuff on the outside are to help keep the inside "micro climate" as optimal as possible. But if wet, wool is _still_ insulating and breathing, which is the key thing.

@@AliseL22 Amazing how our culture has changed so much that the first thought is about the chemicals that you have been conditioned to hate. The paradox of a good guy pimping chemicals is interesting too you. Are you aware that chemicals...man made chemicals to be very precise...are responsible for you being able to move your fingers and strike the keys to make this comment. I assume you're not a chemist. What you are parroting is an opinion. One from a very biased and not necessarily well thought out theory of someone elses work. Because I'm being weird - with regards to the bad chemicals (of course there are some bad ones) In reality "we" have no clue how big the earth that these chemicals are ruining is. There is just no human comparison that anyone has experienced - even ALL the people that go to the space station - none have seen the round earth - I believe only 12 humans ever have and only a couple still alive. If the earth were a beach ball - all of the worlds oceans at there deepest depths would be represented by about two tablespoons of oil smeared on the surface - our everything equates to a tiny film on the surface of a beach ball. In even your wildest imagination - what difference could a microscopic molecule of whatever is bad do to the big picture of that model. Global warming, climate change, eco everything is and has always been at the public level nothing more than marketing. There a counting infinity of funds that surround the notion....as intended. It can't even pass the first number one challenge to what is considered good scientific theory. It must be elegant - its anything but. Alise if you read this far - forgive me. I have adhd and sometimes can't let go of a bone. You have a lovely day and a better tomorrow.

@mage3690 2 года назад

Talking about the water on the outside of the jacket freezing, that reminds me. Back when I went to school, I went to a little two room country school, and every year we'd put up a skating rink out back. Now, if you know anything about skating rinks, you know that you either have to put a new layer of ice on the rink for every couple hours of use and every time it snows, or you have to use a Zamboni to remove a layer for every half hour of use. Zambonis are expensive, so we went with the former option. Putting a new layer of ice on is just a matter of stapling a 3 foot strip of burlap to a 2x4 and wetting it continuously with a garden hose as you drag it around the rink. Needless to say, being children, we got nearly as much water on ourselves as we did on the burlap. Our "saving grace", if you could call it that, was that temperatures were generally below 0F, so the little sprinkles would build up over time and create an ice layer over our clothing, especially our legs, rendering the material more waterproof than any treatment you could hope to buy. I'm sure each one of us would carry at least 2 lbs of ice back into the school building after resurfacing the rink. Ironically, the parts of our clothing with the most ice were generally the warmest. Ice is not only perfectly waterproof, but perfectly windproof as well.

@mauricewal Год назад

Synthetic down doenst have the same disadvantages as normal down. It doenst lose loft and doenst loose insulation power. If down gets wet it can loose all its insulation power. So always good to get a dwr coating because moist can get you cold but synthetic holds its loft.

Basically giving me the equivalent of the latest and highest tech out there, but at affordable price! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻😄

@MyLifeOutdoors 2 года назад

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it. So when you treat the jacket make sure to let the washer fill up with water a little bit. You don’t want the concentrated treatment soaking into just one area of the jacket. If you let the washer fill up a bit first it will dilute the concentred treatment and allow it to fully cost the jacket. Hope that makes sense

@seanparker7415 Год назад

Down doesn't really degrade much with time so the main difference betweeen a 20 yo macpac and a modern bag is that a modern bag will probably have lighter nylon encapsulaion (down to 10d) and modern bags often use better quality fill (up to 950) wheras the old macpac bags probably had 650-750 fill down. In other words, modern bags are lighter for the same warmth. I have a 30 y.o. paddy pallin bag that still gets use in winter.
