I wish it had a short zipJul 29, 2013 at 5:47 am #2010484Interesting. I'm not familiar with the 'Filler Bag' concept. Wouldn't the down probably get crushed crammed inside a normal bag? I guess you could use it paired with a quilt to minimize. But at 8.5 ounces, couldn't you just get a significantly warmer bag for another 5 or 6 ounces instead of yet another piece of kit?
Seems like this product would fill a very small niche in the marketplace. But there definitely are viable applications. Too bad I never go anywhere where a 59 degree bag would be adequate.

If the outer bag is big enough then it won't reduce loft of inner bag too much.
If you have two bags, then you have a second inner and outer fabric layer. This can weigh as much as the down without adding significant weight, so weight of total system could be 33% heavier.

Jul 29, 2013 at 8:58 am #2010537Can do the same thing with a "multi-purpose" down puffy and depending on conditions, insulated bottoms. Montbell has had a similar bag liner for years.
That thing is being marketed towards "newbees"
