Like Mattie, we had a Down comforter while living in Wyoming and Colorado that was simply shelved here in GA. Finally found a "lightweight" Down comforter (more like a blanket) that works for a few months of the year when it might be cool enough. Honestly, it ends up kicked onto the floor more often than not...
Anyway, we've tried all sorts of alternatives, if you NEED warmth, there is no alternative to Down. My cold-weather sleeping bag is Down too.
As for how it's harvested, all sorts of hard realities for those who think the world should be "fair".
The word is not "fair," it is "humane." No one NEEDS down to stay warm. No one. I hope anyone who has been reading this thread and still goes out and buys down thinks of the cruelty involved every night when they go to bed....that should make for some well-deserved nightmares.
