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.

untuvatiivis


Definition from own experience or research:
Esimerkiksi Joutsen-tuotteet ovat untuvatiiviitä. Kankaiden untuvatiiviys varmistetaan Joutsen Finland Oy:n tehtaalla ilmanläpäisymittauksilla.

Example sentence(s):
  • Joutsen®-untuvatakkien kankaat ovat untuvatiiviitä, hengittäviä, vettä ja likaa hylkiviä mikrokuitukankaita. Asujen untuvatäyte on puhdistettu samalla Joutsen Down System™ -jalostusmenetelmällä kuin Allergia- ja Astmaliiton myöntämän yhteistyötunnuksen saaneet Joutsen-untuvapeitteet ja -tyynytkin. - Kauppalehti
