Applying DWR to Down Bag?

I have a down sleeping bag that doesn't seem to have much (if any) DWR. Is it ok to use a spray on DWR to give a bit of protection? I wouldn't want to inhibit any moisture flow but the bag gets damp from dew in the mornings. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Excuse my ingorance, but what is DWR?

I set a goal of losing 10 lbs. this year. I only have 15 left to lose.

DWR

Sounds like, in answer to the OP's question, DWR isn't a coating that effects breathe-ability, might be worth a try.

Nikwax DownProof might be what you need.

Sometimes just throwing it in the dryer for a while can revive your DWR finish. It's not really a coating that can be applied or sprayed on at home...
