English term or phrase: downproof

Definition from textileconnexion.com:
A fabric which resists the penetration of down. The fabric may be closely woven to be downproof by nature or may be cired or coated to make it downproof.

Example sentence(s):

Threadcount is only part of the story when considering a fine downproof fabric for your down comforters. Even more important is the type and size of yarn, and the density with which it is woven (different than threadcount). plumeriabay.com
This 30 denier 1.1 oz/sq yd downproof nylon ripstop is breathable and extremely lightweight. It is a high quality choice for shells, ultralite quilts and sleeping bags. thru-hiker.com
Placing reliance on thread count as an indicator of the downproof quality of fabric is a mistake. What is important is the type and size of yarn, the density with which it is woven (which is a different issue than thread count), and the specialized finishing techniques needed to insure the fabric's downproof qualities.

Example sentence(s):

1)What is Down? Down is warm and light. It is the soft fluffy undercoating of waterfowl that traps the body's natural warmth and protects birds from the elements. The down grows next to the body of the goose or duck, underneath the protective layer of feathers. Each down cluster is made up of thousands of light, fluffy filaments but without a quill shaft. The down cluster is three dimensional and does not contain a quill shaft. Because of this structure down clusters can loft without matting together. Lofting or filling up space is what creates trapped air and keeps us warm. In every pound of feather there is only four or five ounces of down. Pound for pound, down is nature’s most efficient insulator. Simply put: Down is a soft and fluffy substance found beneath the breast feathers of ducks and geese. Down is an extremely light insulator that keeps duck and geese (and humans when used in bedding products) warm in the winter and cool in the summer. 2)What is Down Proof? Fabric with a 230 thread count or higher is considered down proof which means it has low air permeability, which prevents down and feathers from leaking out from the inside. - campusbedding
