    Very similar to a Costco throw with some stitching removed.

    I think it's quite a bit different than the costco throw. this is actually large (7 ft long, not 5 like a lot of throws). 10.5 ounces of 850 fp down isn't bad, with 2" loft, but it's spread around quite a bit with the large size of it. I would say it could be suitable for 45 or 50f
    That being said, I would never buy it because quality and longevity is probably poor. I'd rather something like this if I was going low-cost:

    Costco down throw is 72" long, which is larger than 5'.

    I will grant you that most "throw"s are 5', but as someone who is super picky about her blankets, I only buy those that are 72" (which seems to be another standard) or longer and Costco down throw passes my picky test.

    What about the Aegismax white quilt.... I believe it has 10oz of fill and weighs in around 15oz.
