Richard, Thanks for taking the time to explain this, again. I will need to read your comments a few times and then I may understand this all a little better.

As I jump straight to the chase, so to speak, you should have guessed that I am still on and have been on a quest to find a way to get more PG Delta. Taking apart a sleeping bag that is on sale to get more should convince most that I think it is the way to go.

I believe from experience, mine but mostly others, that the PG Delta/Pertex Q used for the Cocoon line of items is the current answer for rainy weather and have both the Cocoon pullover and the Pants. I am waiting for the next items in the Cocoon line.

I just never really understood the tech. side of the answer why.

So after all that, what is the next best insulation when a MYOG person can't buy PG Delta and wants to make some things vs buy them? Is it worth the effort to salvage it from other things such as a sleeping bag?

Thanks.
