So if somones parka gets a hole in it Patagonia will put normal down back in as they have no encapsil down left.

Oh, they can't as they cannot access the baffle.

They not Encapsil, and they are only crudely scientific, but some instructive videos from ProLite gear. Kudos to them for going the extra mile to look at the benefits of treated down.
