Are there any down pants out there with DWR treated down?
I need 'em for camp and sleeping in single digits in my WM Megalite.

I think Ben from Goosefeet Gear has some treated down and can make some pants with it. It's worth shooting him an email…
Thanks Chad, I'll try Goosefeet.
I found Montbell pants treated with "Tec Down", possibly a Japanese down DWR.
Look at Borah also.
Thanks guys for the contact info.
I think Goosefeet is the one I'll use. Borah gear is about the same price (actually a bit more) but Goosefeet has more options for fabric, color and custom work, like a full crotch zipper "from waistband to waistband".
I talked to a Goosefeet customer service person/owner and he said a custom sipper was OK. Likely another $15. by my estimation.
Borah only communicates via e-mail but I'll contact them.
BTW, Goosefeet is using DWR down in all their down gear. Very interesting.
I think with my EB down jacket & vest, if necessary and good down pants I can extend my overfilled WM Megalite to 0 F. with my Thermarest Trail Pro mattress.
