From two age peers who know the business. This is not to say that there isn't hyper-premium NOS down available somewhere TO YOU at pre-shortage prices. But this is the time when amateurs are sold stuff that doesn't measure up. Read the second sentence below.All commercial content removed from this snip from a current newsletter.
"DOWN ... GOOD ... BAD ... UGLY ... So ...
Bad ... We expect to exhaust our current supply by mid-may ...
Ugly ... The most recent imports of down advertised at 1000 fp failed measurement testing, and worse, failed retesting for even the 900fp level ... The global supply issues are persisting and are not likely to improve any time soon ... And even when it does, supplies of 900 fp or better will likely be rare and/or extremely pricey ... Even 800 fp prices are rising due to the increased demand."
