Good review. Hey, how has it held up? Animal welfare wise, is there any knowledge as to how the geese that were plucked were thriving before and during offering up their down? Did you get the standard or the long version? I am 6'3" 191cm tall so when you said there are some inches to spare, it made me wonder if this size of the quilt would suffice? Lastly, do you know whether the quilt will be able to accommodate a wide rectangular airpad with a width of 65cm? Kind regards.
@RichardCheng 5 күн бұрын
I have the standard version, with has held up fine. I’ve been told (but cannot confirm) that the down is not live plucked as it’s a byproduct of the meat industry
@hooptroopers 5 күн бұрын
@@RichardCheng ok awesome. Good they weren't suffering during the taking. I'm getting the length version because it wouldn't be nice if the quilt is too short. So do you think a wide rectangular pad is able to go inside due to the tapered lower part of the quilt?

@hooptroopers l think it could, but may stretch the filling out which makes it less warm

Would you say that the Lanshan 1 has the same condensation issue as the Lanshan 1 pro ?
@RichardCheng 5 күн бұрын
I’d say being double layered, the Lanshan 1 is better at handling condensation than the Pro, but it’s manageable in the Pro
@PINACI 5 күн бұрын
@@RichardCheng OK, Thanks for the fast reply. I'm still in two minds as to which one to get but if they had the same amount of condensation then probably would go straight for the single skin pro and buy a sponge cloth.
