    Question on fill power

    Ok see attached picture. I have a big agnes lost ranger 15. It is to small for me, so I am considering harvesting the down.

    My question, what fill power would this down be? I am guessing 850, since it says 85%...is that correct.

    Please share your knowledge all.

    Thanks!

    No, the 85% figure means that no more than 15% is feathers. The fill power of the down could be anything. Check Big Agnes' website. It not there, send them an email.

    Per their website, it's 650 FP.

    Hope it helps!
