When good is too good, and sometimes bad.

Limbs are cooling fins - stick 'em out!

Sure glad that I saw this before ordering.

No need to get overfill!

I would always recommend getting some. +1oz in all the quilts I have, maybe 2oz in one of them. It doesn't hurt to make sure the down has a better chance of staying uniform in the quilt. Great $8 peace of mind, or whatever it's running these days.

I don't see it as making a 40° a 35° in theory at all; rather a guarantee you don't have thin spots with little or no down. Just keeping a 40° quilt a true 40°. Plus you factor in dampness hurting loft, wear and tear, etc. It's only going to lose loft if anything over the years.

Ah, i see, thanks for that explanation!

I'll second this. When the down is thin it makes for potential cold spots. Overfill is cheap.

Backyard testing didn't give me an accurate picture of how much heat my body would produce after walking six to eight hours a day. In the backyard, the more down the better. On the trail, it was just overkill.

Huh. I find that after I hike long distances my bodies ability to generate heat diminishes and I catch a chill very easily. As they say HYOH and slide that baby off to the side.
