    Down Fill Power vs Fill Weight

    Looking at down quilts on the new site. There is an option to select Down Fill Power, either 850 or 950.

    However, selecting it doesn't seem to change the weight calculation. Does this mean that the Fill Weight is the same regardless?

    Typically, I'm looking at higher fill power to get more loft for less fill weight, and therefore, less total weight on my back.

    Seems like two quilts with equal fill weight of different down fill power might even expect a different temperature rating.
