I have a question - probably stupid - about an UQ I recently purchased. It's a partial length quilt for which I ordered a couple of additional ounces of down. Because I ordered two additional ounces of down, I expected the quilt would weigh roughly two ounces more than the weight listed for the standard quilt, without any additional down. My quilt, however, weighs less than a half ounce more than the standard quilt. I realize these quilts are custom made and are not cranked out using a precise mold, but I still expected there to be more of a weight difference. I'm happy the quilt doesn't weigh more from a backpacking standpoint but I'm concerned that perhaps it doesn't have the full benefit of the additional down I ordered. Perhaps I'm misapprehending the effect of two ounces of additional down on the overall weight. I emailed the vendor but so far have received no response. I thought someone here might be able to tell me whether my concern seems well-founded or not. Thanks.

) and,,most of the quilts I have found, come in under what the advertised weight is, by sometimes, 1/2 oz all the way to 1.5 oz,,which is fine by me. the ones I have had a extra oz or 2 have been on the money all the way to a 1 oz more in advertised weight and I think a lot as to do with the suspension, material usage, as they make the quilts they refine their workmanship here and there,,and that can change it a dash here and there. I wouldn't worry about it as all our cottage makers overstuff from the git go and your covered by the temp rating and that is more important to me than anything. Enjoy the quilt and its lightness is all I can offer you as I am sure,,its a fine piece of workmanship and will serve its purpose.
