remember me from the comment section below the wm terralite down sleeping bag video? :) meanwhile i've slept in this bag some nights and here is my promised review: i just love my new sleeping bag! it is so cosy and roomy. glad i bought it after watching your video 😊. best regards and thank you!
Late last fall I looked at & consider this brand + several other brands of Down filled pants. I, happily settled on Goosefeet custom made, baffled, with 8.5oz of 850 down fill & paid a mere $265.00. I was asked for my waist measurement, thigh measurement, calf measurement & inseam measurement - truly custom made just for lil ole MEeee. No zippers although I had the option, at an added cost for a fly zipper, or zippers along the outside of each leg of varying lengths. Fabric option are 8D or 20D outer & inner fabrics in a variety of colors. GOOSEFEET CUSTOM MADE 850 Down filled pants are easily THE BEST VALUE ON THIS PLANET.. Well worth checking out! Color MEeee, the Michelin Man when I'm wearing 'em. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
@azclaimjumper I've filled out their form a couple of times to order them. If or when I purchase another pair of down pants, it is definitely going to be a customized, baffled, overfilled pair from GoosefeetGear. You are the only person I know that actually own them. Like you said, a great value, and likely the warmest out there. Thanks for your continued comments! Matt
@@mattsmountainmadness Everyone has a choice of 850 down fill from 2.5oz up to 8.5oz. The only down pants likely to be warmer are those 1000 down fill made by PHD, however, you'll pay several thousand dollars for 'em as they are a British company so you'll have import duties + shipping Kale Green was my color of choice.
I am familiar with PHD, however I have never had my hands on any of their products. They seem to be similar to WM in that they don't spend much money promoting their products. The lack of reviews, coupled with as you pointed out, the price, makes them a company that is easy for me to forget about. But for those living in the UK, it is likely a more viable option. But back to GooseFeetGear. I've been very happy with the products I own from Ben and Company over at GFG. You know all of their products are hand made, with care. The value is undeniable.
@@mattsmountainmadness Well put! PHD besides being an overseas manufacturer caters to those wanting gear to keep them warm as they climb places like Mt Everest, or the South Pole, or Denali.- really extremely COLD & or windy weather. You can't go wrong with GooseFeet Gear & Ben answers the phone when you call.
I ordered a pair of 100% overfilled GooseFeet Gear Down booties on 17 July. They were delivered today, 5 August. I ordered a custom made pair of 8.5 oz overfilled , baffled Pants on 27 Nov 2023. They were delivered on 10 January 2024.. The point being Ben is busy year-round, more so in winter than in summer, nevertheless, he's keeping busy. Best to order some pants NOW rather than waiting till cold weather arrives. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.
I always liked the military supless liner. They are not as nice as those pants. I should do a video on them. The best part of the liner pants is the open fly. There is nothing worse than trying to get 6 inches of meat through 8 inches of layered clothes.
@KenHicksJrOdyssey HaHa! I could not have described that so aptly! I usually run a base layer, followed by down pants followed by "outdoor pants", sometimes more layers. If all the Flys line up and I have my eyes open and..... well, you get the picture. Thanks for watching Ken!
I don't see the price point with inflation being the culprit. This is a quality company with undeniably great products & use of superior materials. They are going to cost more.
@@nathankalana8616 You are right about inflation not being the reason for the price point. However, WM has had to raise their prices multiple times since the pandemic, just like everyone else. So we have premium quality at a premium price....plus inflation. Makes me glad I bought all my WM products when I did!

@4.eva.21 I definitely remember you. Now you are knowing how awesome these bags really are. I'm glad I could help! Have fun using your new bag! Matt

Ya, those uber wide baffles...crazy!

Nice video. I have the Rab Argon pants, which have 5.6 oz of down and are a bit cheaper. I like them so far.
@apleparulo3958 I am not familiar with those, I will check them out. Thanks for sharing that, and thanks for watching!

That is a great suggestion. I might just have to order up a pair of pants NOW!
@@mattsmountainmadness Let me know what you decide & if you buy, some details when delivered.
