Exclusively engineered for handwear, this is an insert technology that allows moisture accumulated from within the glove to escape and provide for breathability and enhanced warmth and comfort. The molecules of the insert are wide enough apart to allow moisture to escape, yet close enough together to guarantee that water will not penetrate the glove. These inserts are seam sealed, so stitching from the gloves will not interfere with your Gordini glove’s performance. DownTek: 1. What is DownTek Water Repellent Down DownTek Water Repellent Down is down that has been treated with our water-repellent-nano-treatment. We employ a proprietary application method instead of a bath treatment, thereby eliminating waste run-off. 2. How does it work When regular down is exposed to moisture, the moisture droplets cling to the filaments of the down cluster, forcing the down to collapse in on itself. When wet, regular down loses its ability to insulate because the pockets of air that provide insulation collapse. Air pockets on the down clusters of DownTek Water Repellent Down do not collapse. The nano treatment creates surface tension on the surface area of the treated down clusters. This surface tension forces the moisture molecules to bead up and roll off the down, leaving each cluster free to continue trapping warm air, thereby maintaining the ability to insulate even when wet. 3. Does it make the down heavy The nano treatment used for DownTek Water Repellent Down adds no discernible weight to
