  • Testimonials

    Testimonials –

      "The down cleaner is awesome! I had never even thought something could bring my sleeping bag back to life like this. I had two sleeping bags that were basically flat as pancakes after a cumulative total of about 500 nights of use and packing them up every day into a backpack. I thought they were shot and figured it might just be time to get new ones, but decided to first try the down cleaner. They came out like new!" Justin Lichter (Trauma)

    Additional Customer Comments –

      "I cleaned my down jacket with the down cleaner. It came out much nicer than in the previous washing, using a competitor’s product. The jacket's loft seemed to be better restored than in past washings."- Boulder

      "I tried the down cleaner on my down comforter. Not only did it clean the comforter (which had not been washed in much too long) but it revived the loft." - Denver

      "The bottle did 3 down comforters months later they still smell fresh but not overpowering." - Michael G., Baja, CA

      "I found this product restores loft better, and leaves down more resilient to compression than Nikwax product. Wash in warm and rinse in cold water. Use front loading washing machine and set dryer on low heat." - C., GTA, Ontario

  • Boot Use Tip

    Boot Use Tip

    TRUE OR FALSE? Heavy duty mountain boots are obsolete for backpacking. True. But while the ultralight backpacking crowd (carrying 20 lb. packs) get by on trails using trail running shoes or even good sport sandals, most folks carrying heavier loads should have some ankle support. Well-made light hikers with a 3/4 or full-height ankle collar are usually enough for moderate loads on most trails.
