Not sure that's entirely true in the medium-long term. A good down bag with loose fill will, if looked after, last many times longer than a synthetic bag, as the filling in those breaks down. I admit there's a lot of factors to consider to get a definitive answer.

Fair enough, that's your choice.
> Got rid of my wool and leather stuff too. It was just bugging me knowing I owned it so sold it on and decided to get something that didn't bug me. Simple as that.
Getting rid of wool seems an odd one to me, as the sheep don't have to die to produce it and, arguably, it benefits them when they're shorn and is better for the environment than synthetics. Of course, if you just want to cut out any animal involvement, then it'll have to go.
I assume you're looking at bamboo fibres and other as replacements for clothing, rather than synthetics?
