Hi
I would appreciate some help here. I’m fixing to pull the trigger on a bag or quilt.
I believe I want the 20 degree rating.
So I understand the process for determining loft… ie 800 vs 900. Etc. but you can order an 800 (I forget the units used for loft) and get a bag rated at 20 degrees. Or you could order a 900 loft and also get the same 20 degree rating.
This is confusing to me. Will one of these options be bulkier or something?
One with more loft, one with less, yet same temp rating. To me it seems a little like saying you can buy jacket A which has a unit of loft, or get jacket B which has more loft,
and at the end, they are identical in warmth.
Ok so I’ve expressed my ignorance, please someone help me out.🙂
I guess the nugget I’m after is would one of the two choices take up less room in my pack. Probably not enough to notice?
As a point of interest, jumping from 750 down to 850 down ads almost 25% to the cost of the down. Which I may do if there is a reason to fo so.
Thanks
