Nikwax Hydrophobic DownLuis Brown, Environmental Consultant at Nikwax Ltd, took to a lake in East Sussex in a sleeping bag filled with Nikwax Hydrophobic Down™. He floated from one side to the other before emerging, warm and (nearly completely) dry at the water’s edge: a lofty sleeping bag by his side. The demonstration shows that high performing weatherproofing solutions do not have to use environmentally damaging chemicals. Down has long been an insulator favoured by outdoor enthusiasts because of its unbeatable insulation to weight ratio. But its propensity to absorb water and lose its loft and insulation properties normally make it unsuitable for more challenging weather conditions. Fundamentally, if regular down gets wet, users get cold. Nikwax Hydrophobic Down™ solves this problem.
