Marty was using two types of fill. One was a 900fp goose down. The other was a 50/50 mixture of goose down and duck down.Quote:

I miss this guy too, great prices and a great product.
The price that you paid might give a clue. I think Marty sold the 900 fill SS 3/4 quilt for $135 and full length for $165. I think the economy SS 3/4 quilt was around $100. I think that quilt was the blended fill. Not claiming 100 % truth. Just what I remember.
The rating for the summer series is 40 degrees
To confirm, the Summer BUD series had the 50/50 mix and his Premium Summer Series used 100% goose, both models were rated at 40 degrees. All of Marty's down was untreated too. Luckily I bought almost all of my gear from Marty starting in 2014 and have 2 full sets of his quilts that I'll never get rid of.
I have their premium summer set and I thought that they were 40 degree rated. I've taken them down to around those temps and was fine. https://web.archive.org/web/20180207...L-XXL-SSFX.htm
