Anyone know what the fill weight (i.e. weight of the down filling) on this bag is? Any reviews from people taking the current generation of the bag in sub-freezing temperatures? I'm wondering whether this would be sufficient for a PCT thru-hike next year; the design, materials, and overall weight is very similar to the Nunatuk Alpinist bag, but I'd like to know what the fill weight is.

Climbing.com article of last years 800 rated bag said 11oz. http://www.climbing.com/news/justout/comfortable_stoicism_stoic_somnus_30_sleeping_bag/ Good hands on here as well https://thebigoutside.com/Stoic_Somnus_30.html I'm glad I ordered this bag, should do the trick across a wide range.

Not an answer for you, but for what it's worth Backpacker Magazine called it the "Warmest" summer bag in their 2011 gear guide. As opposed to ultralight, most versatile, innovative, etc. I too would like to know though, I just contacted Stoic for an answer. We shall see if they answer.

Thanks for the note, Jason- 850 is actually the down rating (i.e. it's really light and fluffy down), but doesn't tell me how much down they put into the bag. Knowing how much down insulation is in the bag (I'd expect somewhere around 8-12 ounces of 850 down) would let me compare it with other bags, as 1oz of 850 fill down has a fairly constant insulating power.

850 fill down. my experience with this bag is pretty limited, but i sleep cool. i would not trust it much below the rating. you might take a liner along.
