FP = Fill power Higher FP = more fluffy and warm for the weight of the feathers (eg 1000 grams) Fill Power range is 550 - 1200 Average decent bag is 700+ fill power (low/medium fluffy for the weight of the feathers) Experienced cold campers use 800+ FP Professionals (Mt Everest) use 1000+ FP So your bag is very warm, but it carries the extra weight (cheaper feathers) as the negative, which is fine for car camping or camp sites, but not for hikers. Also it may not carry the RDS certifed badge, which means the ducks were cared for properly before death, if you care about that. Otherwise most Chynese bags they rip the feathers straight off of living birds, unlike RDS, where they are dead first.
Rip-Stop nylon is very good at preventing tiny rips and tears from catching it on stones, branches, sharp metal etc. Most tents and decent bags have it now.
Bags do NOT make YOU warm... ...YOU make the bag warm. So move around and get warm before you get in, or put some heat pads or hot water bottle etc, in before. Thick wool socks are a great addition, or down trousers, merino wool long johns and top, electric hand warmers. All really good to add to your sleep system.
@Theother1089 I like wool. My bag is only semi mummy shaped so I can move my feet. I think only summit hikers need those mummy bags to save every gram carried up the mountain.

Thanks for the heads up Tim

Noted thankyou
I'd rather a wool blanket under me, and a wool duvet on me, I find sleeping bags restrictive.
I can see your point but wouldn’t fancy back packing a duvet around with me 🤣
