i was just wandering if their was a close alternative to goose down cause its so expencive. ive done some research and found the only website that i see sells bulk down http://www.shopdownlite.com and for a diy tq&uq its gonna cost 150 for just the down not counting the fabric so was wandering that is the characterristics of down that makes it so good. isnt the whole purpose of down to fluff the outer layers of the tq so the space fills with air. and then isnt it mostly the air that your body heats up to form the insulating area. which in turns keeps you warn "by the way if i am wrong plzz correct me " so my thought is would anything that can inflate forsay the space between the fabric to create the air gap work the same as down. "may not be as light"
so i was thinking about air beads or really soft inflated foam. which should pack tight withought the fear of squshing it like you are with down. again it will never be as light or pack as small.
anyway just trying to get some info. thanks
