If this were truly better than the top grade snythetics, and the product has been around for a decade, all the major gear manufacturers would be using it.
I keept thinking of the stay puff marshmallow man from Ghostbusters when i was reading the product name.
That guy looks like a walking quilt.
Crayons - they might look different, but they all taste the same
The industry is very competitive, I agree! They are just about to come out with an ultra water resistant down better than dri down, that can shed water for 1000+ minutes. They have teamed up with minwax or someone like that to create this new water resistant down. Your typical goods manufacturers will carry it, North face, Marmot, etc..I can't remember the products name at this time but, I'll let you know if I remember it!
The Zen philosopher, Basho, once wrote, 'A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no holes, is a Danish.' He was a funny guy
If cost wasn't a factor we could probably do it now. Although, it makes me wonder since we cant seem to even match lower FP's of down. The best synthetic fibers seem to offer 650fp and MAYBE approach 700fp. But whoever pulls it off will have to find a way to do it cheaper than someone harvesting it from a bird.
