Yep, if you guessed that it would absorb moisture, and soon be at least somewhat wet too, you guessed right. If you're looking to insulate your core and dry your clothes at the same time, you would be better off stripping down to bare skin, then throwing on the jacket, and using the air to dry your wet layers. Down does zero good when wet.

Marcello, I would think if your clothes were wet this jacket would absorb a small amount of the moisture (as any down jacket will do) but your clothes will remain damp.
