    I ordered bulk from www.featherind.com . Here is the thread I was talking about it. The costs I listed do not account for the 20% upcharge for orders smaller than 20 lbs. With shipping for 3lbs it came to around $240 for 3lbs of the 95/5 grey goose down. I was told there could be a customs charge given at delivery. I will report back on that when I get it.

    With shipping it came to $5 an oz. The Speer and thru-hiker costs do not include shipping. Min order is 2 lbs.
    Is that too much to ask? Girls with frikkin' lasers on their heads?

    Sheez, 240 bucks? Would it have been better to order from Speer or just outright buy an underquilt?

    They are making a bunch of stuff, so probably not.

    3lbs from Ed would run $400 before shipping. The 12oz needed for a quilt costs $60 instead of $104 (without shipping). I would of offered it up to more people, but there were a few unknowns involved with the order. This way if something happens only 2 people get screwed instead of more.

    I figured the total cost of my 2 quilts to be around $290. Cost if ordered retail would be well over $500. I would have made them for around $50 less, but I went all out on materials. Even cheaper if I would use the walmart DWR I have sitting around. Using mom90 and nanoseeum instead of 1.1 oz DWR and regular noseeum. I figured if I was going to do it, I was going to do it right.

    Ahh, that makes sense. I guess it was more than I had expected either way.

    So warm I do not feel cold. I like winter hiking.
