Some manufacturers are coming close to including all these features.

FABRIC-> Pertex Quantum with a very good DWR treatment

DOWN-> DWR treated 600 to 800 fill (higher fill numbers are not so great for clothing as it compresses TOO readily in certain areas when in use.

CONSTRUCTION-> electronically sealed seams (no stitch sewing)

higher fill numbers are not so great for clothing as it compresses TOO readily in certain areas when in use

But those grams melt off with higher fill!

Is there a ready example of electronic seam sealing, and why do you prefer it?
