Hello! I am looking into some gear, as I plan on going on my first backpacking trip this spring. I see many people recommending down sleeping bags & outerwear, but I am severely allergic! To the point where if I sleep with a down blanket or pillow, I will get crazy unbearable rashes that lasts days within just the first few minutes of laying with it. Anyone else have this issue? What is a good solution? Thank you 🙏 (also while I’m here, let me know your favorite brands!)

EDIT

This was an extremely insightful thread, & I thank each & every one of you for your help. Have a great night!
