The biggest issue I find is understanding whether the fp is American or European (though there is now a global standard iirc).

A bit late to answer that but actually, most brands use the international norm IDFB. Even Europeans ones.
The only brands that are still using EU norm I'm aware of are :
- Triple Zero
- Valandré
- Sir Joseph

Any brand using EU norm is more likely to advertise it as EU norm is stricter.

US standard ended in 1999. But some brands (even Europeans ones) are still using it for some reasons. Like Millet, Enlightened Equipment or Mountain Hardwear.

Here is how you can convert easily :

IDFB : 900 cuin
EU : 810 cuin (-10%)
old US : 945 cuin (+5%)

Hope this helps.

I've seen these mentioned a fair bit lately, some good reviews? I would be interested in hearing from somebody who has 'real life' experience with them though.

I see that UOG has started stocking Enlightened Equipment quilts.

What's this constriction thing they're talking about?

I had to Google GOAT

Save me the bother. What does it mean?

I’m assuming it is something like ‘TDB’ - The Dogs Bo**cks of a sleep system.

Mythic Ultra 120 Modular Down Sleeping Bag (0C)

Slash weight from your kit list with this award-winning ultralight modular bag, designed for thru-hiking, bikepacking, and mountain running.

(Rab's TILT lining is very effective - I have the Mythic Ultra 360 (don't judge me I got it for less than 50% of the rrp) - and unless it's below freezing, I have to use it open as a quilt as it is so warm)

Not sure how that translates to plain old simple "FP" (Fill Power), which is what every manufacturer seems to use for Down quality these days. For example, my Rab Mythic Ultra 180 has 950+FP Down...No mention of cuin of IDFB.
