First off, what do they even mean by difference in quality of the down? It has already been certified as being a certain fill. FF uses 950+ fill and WM uses 850+ fill. FF is also made in the USA.
I have used both WM and FF products, and currently have a FF Flicker 20* UL exactly like the one you are looking at in Tangerine color. I love it. For three season it is perfect if I expected really cold conditions, like at zero degrees, I would get something with a colder rating. I don't like WM bags because they are a bit tight in the shoulders for me. YMMV

Rumi,
Did you put up a report on your Grand Canyon trip? Don't let me create work for you, but yes hoping to see one. Hope you are reasonably well.

OK, I will. I guess I can use Google to host my photos. I will whip one up and let you know when I post.
And thanks for asking, I am doing well.

Any experience or thoughts on Endurance UL vs Y Fuse?
UL saves 2 oz, uses 950 instead of 900 fill but the same amount so should be slightly warmer, costs $60 more, and comes in nicer colors.
