<title>I heard that the only way to get 900 fill down is by live plucking</title>

<description>Marmot Plasma 30 Sleeping Bag:30 Degree Down&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I heard that the only way to get 900 fill down is by live plucking geese, does Marmot comment on their down supply chain?  I&#x26;#39;m not sure the extra fill power is worth that kind of torture, I don&#x26;#39;t really care about geese but I don&#x26;#39;t need to go out of my way to $uck with them.</description>

<description>Marmot Hydrogen Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree Down&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Been looking at getting this bags for awhile, but I am still a little sceptical about using it in the early spring time. We&#x26;#39;re planning a trip for early May and this usually the earliest I will go. Do you think it is a good buy for that time of the year?</description>

<title>Anyone know what the fill weight (i.e. weight of the down filling)</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/stoic-somnus-30-sleeping-bag-30-degree-down?CMP_ID=QRSS_255104#question_255104</link>
<description>Stoic Somnus 30 Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree Down&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Anyone know what the fill weight (i.e. weight of the down filling) on this bag is?  Any reviews from people taking the current generation of the bag in sub-freezing temperatures?  I&#x26;#39;m wondering whether this would be sufficient for a PCT thru-hike next year; the design, materials, and overall weight is very similar to the Nunatuk Alpinist bag, but I&#x26;#39;d like to know what the fill weight is.</description>
