I have an REI Sub Kilo +20 Sleeping bag that I am contemplating cannibalizing to make two under quilts for my wife and I. The bag has 14oz of 750 fill down. Good idea or bad idea? I could also try to sell the bag and put the money towards UQs. I was looking at the down under quilt at thru-hiker as a reference to go by.
Nov 9, 2009 at 10:14 pm #1544175I'd sell it, and buy down. 800 fill down is only $8 oz.
Nov 10, 2009 at 5:35 am #1544199You can buy 750 down here for $16.00 for 3 oz shipped.

I ordered a custom pad and received it in something like 3 days, so I'm guessing he would deliver down very quickly and reliably.
Nov 16, 2009 at 7:41 am #1545621I ordered the pillow from Kookabay and the delivery was very fast. He even offered to modify it free of charge if I sent it back to him.
I don't know anything on the quality of the down, but the quality of the pillow was top notch.
I wouldn't have a second though about buying from him again.
