READERS COMMENTS
I second Dana's comment. A discussion about synthetic fill vs. down would be helpful too. And what to look for when choosing a puffy that isn't one of the three featured.
Lightweight? what does that mean? 10 oz, 16oz? Give us specs, temp ratings, data we can use, not "it fits really well".
Try www.backpackinglight.com if you want a good puffy review.
