Goosefeet Gear Down Balaclava – Drop Exclusive

@GooseFeet can you tell us what the biggest driver of the "MSRP" on this Massdrop Exclusive to $80 when your base 20d balacavas on your website show starting at $65? Is the fabric that much more? 950 fill vs. 850 fill? Something other? Frankly those small differences with their tiny fractional weight difference seem more about "fashionable" than function.
As an aside, I have owned a pair of your down socks and over booties for 3 or so years and love them!

seenypaul$65 is the MSRP with 20d fabrics and 850fp DownTek $71 is the MSRP with 10d fabrics and 850fp DownTek
The lighter the fabric, the higher the cost, usually exponentially. Also, even though 950fp down is only ~12% warmer than 850fp down, it costs almost 60% more.
Basically, Massdrop wanted to do an exclusive, and we sourced lighter materials to make that happen! :)

GooseFeet @GooseFeet I should add that I do own a down balacava also. Without actually digging it out to look at tags, I don't recall whether I purchased it from Goosefeet Gear or the ZPacks version also made by Goosefeet Gear. I'm considering another as a gift for someone. Really leaning more toward ordering direct from you rather than this MD version.
