I'm old school and likely way behind the times on treatments for down garments. I noticed "Down Proof" claims to make a garment water "repellent" but not "water proof." I don't know if I'd trust a treatment in serious weather events. Maybe they're not for that. I use a down sweater I made 40 years ago with a lightweight Gortex jacket over it if I need to protect it from water. Having spent a lot of time in the mountains in bad weather, I also like the idea of the flexibility of having a combination for the choice of using either as conditions dictate.
