Another 150-200 g down would be fine for me in mid winter in the snow, but please note that I would be sleeping under it in Montbell thermawrap pants, some form of bivy boots, and one or two insulated jkts.

The quilt with 200 g of fill was made for summer use, using 900 loft down, and I hoped it could be extended a bit. I will top up the fill some time by another 100-150 g.
