Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Parka - Women's
November 9, 2009
Down isn't designed for wet, wet environments. Could you put down in Gore-Tex and still retain the loft that is down? I doubt it. You need lighter weight fabrics so down can be effective. It says this coat has a DWR finish so it'll do in a light, sporadic rain or occasional misty spot. If you want a coat that gives you insulation in a wet environment you'll have to stick with synthetic fibers & good ol' layering. Down is for bitter-ass cold that freezes your nose hairs and sometimes makes you wish you lived in the tropics. It is not for wet crud and heavy weight fabrics that crush it's loft. Did this help?

Icebreaker Nature Hot Pant Underwear - Women's
November 3, 2008
Yes - all of icebreaker's clothing is machine washable. I have a couple pairs of the boy shorts & merino shirts and I throw them in the washer on the delicate setting (no hot water!) and toss 'em in the dryer on a low setting. I haven't had any shrinkage problems. You can always lay them flat to dry too.
