    ARGON 67 gets a 5 out of 5 star rating for downproofness form IDFL

    I always new it was good but it is good to have independent testing done to make sure your products are as good as they can be. I had IDFL (International Down and Feather Testing Laboratory) in Salt Lake City test the downproofness of ARGON 67 and it scored their highest rating. Great news for DIYers and most of HG's customer. Because down in your bugnet is a bad thing.

    Just confirms what we already knew from practical experience, great fabric. Is the 90 getting tested as well?

    Good news, except if the droughts in Holland continue the Argon crops will be decimated and the prices will skyrocket.

    I suggest buying it now while it's still affordable.
