Probably because it's not a new design and Peax tried making the claim that if you bought a US-made bag with similar down specs it would cost $2k. They lied through their teeth and were called out on it. FF has had a down bag with a hood, arm holes, and drawstring footbox for decades. PEAX needs...
Tried a Nallo 2GT, same issue. If I'm spending good money and lots of time in a tent, I don't want to be hitting end walls. If I get another Hille, it'll be a Kaitum or Keron. Scarp series from TarpTent has more room than the Soulo.

Almost everyone uses the LIMIT rating to advertise their bags, WM included. I have had a Kodiak for several years. They list it as a 0 degree bag. You dig into their charts and they comfort rate that bag at 13 degrees, limit rate it at -1, extreme rating is -41, and their rating is 5 degrees...
You read that wrong. The number given on bags is the LIMIT rating, which is the temp the average male can sleep comfortably. The COMFORT rating is usually 10-15 degrees above that, and is the temp that an average female can sleep comfortably. EXTREME rating on the label is the temp where you can...
If you're over 6ft you're going to hit the inner walls with your bag and head on a pad. That was the main issue I had with mine, and why I sold it

You haven't talked to the 95+% who don't want to pay a nickel more for their tags. You overestimate your fellow citizens desire to pay more. They talked about doing that in Idaho, something like $5 increase, and people raised immortal hell. Try $50-100 and see what happens. It'll be entertaining...
Most of these hunting brand puffy jackets are either 15d or at most 20d. You can't go much higher without running the risk of compressing the down. The majority are the same pertex fabrics used in mountaineering brands. Laughable that you think climbers dragging their jackets and gear across...
That's cool and all, but none of your tax dollars go towards wildlife. Welcome to the northern rockies, where everyone pays more for everything and thinks nonresidents are the problem.

Lot cheaper buying your chain through a trapping supply place. Hardware stores are a ripoff when it comes to chain prices. Same with quick links.

It isn't a coincidence they filed this in Missoula either. They shopped judges again, and that shit needs to stop. Along with EAJA abuse. They can pay their own way.

Double the price of a Ruger American Gen II and wood stock and no cerakote. I like Tikkas, but that action isn't $500 smoother with a blued finish to boot

Never underestimate the games the other side can play. You're all assuming it's a poacher... could just as easily have been done to sway public opinion.

No, it devolved in to you don't want to hear anyone else's opinion, just your own. Go overcompensate somewhere else. If you don't want to buy a certain caliber, then don't. But don't try to argue against something that has proven to work all around the world. If it isn't your cup of tea, don't...
