I can probably count on one hand the number of guys I know who would be in the same situations that Barklow tested gear in... and they all were probably students of his. The average hunter is NEVER going to get to that level. Down bags are a viable long term option. You take care of down, and 30 years from now it'll be just like when you first bought it. Synthetic loses loft and insulation properties over time, especially through multiple compression cycles. There are custom bag and quilt makers where you can get both in the same quilt or bag. More options out there than REI, BA, or Kifaru. You just have to research what you are exactly looking for.
