    I wouldn't be concerned, I've gotten a couple pounds from them it was all good looking stuff. But I didn't have it tested in a lab or anything:<) I did quite a bit of looking around when I made my bottom quilt and bought feathers from a couple different places for the price this is by far the best.

    By all means, let's argue about whether or not a hammock will hurt a tree. All the while ignoring the fact that there is an island of garbage the size of Texas floating in the Pacific ocean. Or how about the fact that over 75% of the world's nuclear reactors are leaking...

    Wow!!

    What gives?

    38 bucks for a lb vs 144 for a lb at down linens and similar suppliers like Dutch etc.

    Why this price difference?!!?

    I would go for the 800/850 blend from Wilderness Logics. Amazing price on that stuff.

    I’ll be interested if they run a sale this week - the current price of 5.75 per oz totals 90ish dollars per lb and that is about what the Black Friday sale prices are for 850fp goose down from downlinens or other vendors...

    If thy go on a sale though I may nab that

    I priced out 600fp vs 850fp for a standard sized quilt

    Cost difference was 22 bucks - not insignificant but as was suggested earlier - the loss of efficiency reduces the value gap

    I’m waiting till Friday

    I’ll either snag some from Dutch or downlinens at this point I think

    I’m curious if downlinens puts some 950 on sale too as I may consider a bag of it for my personal zero degree TQ I want to build
