Reblogged from Gearoutfitter's Blog:
Last week we talked all about the different types of down: duck, goose and new waterproof down. But this new waterproof down is not fool proof, if you get soaked those feathers might dry faster but until then you will be cold. So what is an adventurer to do if rain is in the forecast?
Synthetic!
There are many types of synthetic insulation available in clothing and sleeping bags.
