Now that there have been various water resistant downs available for awhile is there any info out there about how effective it is and how long treated down lasts? I'm looking into getting down bag for winter camping and am trying to decide if I want to get one with treated down.
Not much out there still in terms of actual testing as far as I know. All just anecdotal accounts and not many of those really. As far as longevity I don't think we will know that for several years. The only ones really weighing in are manufacturers and down producers, and they have a vested interest of course.

Patagonia made a big deal of its Encapsil treatment, which I understand to be a distinct (and better?) technology than all the other down treatments. But now I don't see any products or any new info on it. There must be a story here about why the silence.
