 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have run out of Grangers Proofer and want to wash and re-proof some kit. I have Down Proof in which I have for a down filled jacket. Is there any reason why I couldn't use the Down Proof for a normal insulated jacket and pants? I know you should use a special down product for down filled kit but is it the same the other way round? Thanks

It would be Ok, but I wouldn't bother using wash in product with insulated jacket & pants. Get the spray on stuff or don't bother at all, the insulation will suck up all the good stuff. Wash in 'proof' should only be used on shells. The down stuff you have is meant to be good for feathers, not sure that it helps more than a couple of tennis balls but hey-ho. Use it, then don't bother buying it again. Get spray on stuff in future then you can coat all your outerwear in the same product.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

ski, Paramo doesn't use a seperate insulation layer such as primaloft or down. It's fine with the wash in stuff... good kit too.

You'll need to Register first of course.

ski, Mostly... they do a couple of insulated jackets now... moisture repellant insulation layer so it won't absorb much of the proofing.
