When you order a new underquilt how accurate would you expect the weight to be from what the manufactures website has listed?

Mine have all been within an ounce.
I'd expect it to be a half ounce to an ounce heavier than advertised. At least that's been my experience. Although most of mine have been custom so I knew the weight given to me was just an estimate. With my JRB Hudson River I paid extra for 900fp to save 1.5oz over the 800fp but it weighed the same as what the 800fp is listed as. So it was 1.5oz over what it was advertised as.
You may get the advertised weight if you're buying stock, but don't be surprised if it's a lil over.

I was also expecting it to be heavier, but mine seems to fall short by just over an ounce. It could be my scale so I weighed a full can of Pepsi and it weighed 14oz.
Most of your vendors go to great lengths of getting the down amounts dead on to what they post as the amounts even putting a little extra in for good measures, I find. If you over alittle bit on the weights,,mostly cause of the down measurements I am thinking and always told.
I dont think fluid oz's are equal to 'dry' ounces. get your google-fu goingOriginally Posted by Rambler_
edit ... google says its a measurement of volume, not weight.

Volume ounces are not the same as weight ounces. Try weighing a nickel, it should weigh 5 grams.

I just got a JRB Greylock 4. It was advertised at either 17oz or 18oz deepening on where I looked on their website. It weighs in at 21.5oz, which I'm a bit disappointed with. Hopefully that's 'extra' down. Other than that it's a great UQ, very well constructed.
