I'm wondering - why was the Nuptse Fur II 700-fill down while the Nuptse Fur III is only 600? Why the downgrade?

You're right, they are very warm and comfy (and light!), however the first time I wore them I noticed that a lot of down came out on the inside (all over my socks). Is this normal? Has anyone else had this problem?

There was an increase in Euro Down costs going into 2008, in order to start competitive in that price range the fill count dropped. The Nuptse Fur III has been out for 2 years with a 600 fill count and we have seen no changes in warmth rating. Pick some of these up, I promise warm, comfy boots :)
