July 31, 2014 - PRLog -- Montebello, Calif. -Allied Feather & Down (http://www.alliedfeather.com/), the outdoor industry’s primary supplier and processor of down, introduces its newest proprietary down technology (http://tech.alliedfeather.com/); a fluorocarbon-free water resistant down called HyperDRY ECO.

HyperDRY ECO fluorocarbon-free technology can be applied to Responsible Down Standard (http://textileexchange.org/RDS) (RDS) certified down, offering one of the most environmentally conscious and responsibly developed down products on the market.

HyperDRY ECO is available immediately and can be used with Allied’s BioDown (http://tech.alliedfeather.com/biodown.html) anti microbial down technology as well as F X Down (http://tech.alliedfeather.com/fxdown.html), a hybrid down and synthetic blend.
