This is my first down purchase, but Ive shopped around in stores and I know the difference in the quality. This one isnt going to feel like a 300 down. Its far less priced and so will be the quality. I feel as though I got what I paid for. I wasnt ready to commit hundreds of dollars to a style of blanket I may not like. Its a little more noisy than I expected, but I really like it. Its warm and comfy.
