I agree 100% with this and he kept it short and concise

I just bought a The North Face Himalayan Insulated jacket(synthetic) thinking it would be great for the winter in Norway(around -15 degrees average), i never understood the difference between down and Synthetic until after buying.

Does wetting the down have any permanent effect on its insulation or is it just until it has dried?

[@yosserhughes271]

No permanent effect whatsoever, it’s a natural fibre so it’ll dry without issue.
