    Anyone familiar with The Perfect Trees - Materials source

    I found this website: http://www.theperfecttrees.com

    They sell 800 fill Canadian goose down for $8 an ounce (@2.50 shipping in USA). Wondering if anyone has purchased here before, what was your experience with the company and what is the quality of the down then sell?

    I have looked at speer, Thru hiker, OWFI, are there any other good sources for down that are cheaper?

    That's the website of HF member Stormcrow. He's well known 'round here. He just had a bunch of down on sale in the 4Sale section @7.50/ounce, and he'd bag it however you needed.

    That is very top quality down. I have gotten it from him twice now. He divides it up so you don't have to. It is also perfectly white whereas the Speer down is grey. Other then that I couldn't tell the difference. As far as I know it is the best down for the price.

    My experience with the company is that Adam and his wife are good company...

    That's a fact you can take to the bank! Good people! You'll get better than you're paying for no matter what you purchase from them.

    Good people, and good at leaving goodies beside the trail as well...but only when it's cold out. Sheesh, that was almost a year ago now!

    You will not go wrong with Perfect Trees. Stormcrow is a goofball and a great guy.

    I wish they'd sell Thorwren's stew on their site (freeze dried?). That's some goood stew.

    I do have a complaint about Stormcrow... he hikes so fast that I cannot keep up!
