See Through a Goose (Jacket)
There an old saying about how certain materials can travel through a goose, but here is a new twist on seeing through a goose, or more actually a down jacket. Hi-Tec Sports has provided a type of see-through jacket with dyed feathers that allows the flaunting of the down.
Instead of worrying that a down jacket could look bulky and thus unflattering, the jackets feature colored feathers that can be seen through the transparent shell. Reportedly this looks good but doesn’t affect the insulating properties of the down.
In this way the feathers of a goose can be shown off like the feathers of a peacock… if you’re into that sort of thing!
