Low rating is for brown color, not overall. I've purchased these packs before and overall the packs offer great quality and value for soft hackle nymphs. However, the Brown pack was less consistent in size and quality than other packs, fewer smaller feathers and too many larger feathers for tying in the #16-12 hook size range. There were more lower quality feathers that would work but might not look pretty and the dark brown dye mostly washed out the partridge mottling.
