Thanks!

I have larger 3/4 size with 10oz of down. It is 20oz with stuff sack and suspension.
Almost done with mine 70X47 tapered to 15 in on the ends. Its ready for down. Shell with suspension is 9 oz going to use 6 oz of down. total will be 16 oz with stuff sack.
Awesome- I definitely can make something near those ranges. Thanks guys!
P.S. Any mods browsing through this can close/lock it. I won't mind.
