The company said on making the announcement that it believes the new development will work particularly well in applications for camping, hunting and fishing. The antimicrobial treatment can also protect boots lined with down and equipment that will come into contact with moist ground, such as sleeping bags, Allied said.
It has been testing its antimicrobial treatment on down for more than a year, using two different independent laboratories.
Chief operating officer of the California-based company, Daniel Uretsky, said on announcing the development: “Garments and equipment filled with down treated with our new antimicrobial treatment will have a significantly increased protection from bacteria acquired from exposure to moisture.”
