depend on what breaks the "bank". ****'s Sporting has a Marmot 15 degree down bag for under $200
any down mummy bag should...
have a footbox (just don't unzip it all the way)
be 58" wide...most quilts are not that wide. But, even a mummy bag unzipped will be that wide
I'd start there

well i actually got a used jrb cyclist quilt... i just got it today... i have to say that this being my first down product i was totally unimpressed. but since i got an underquilt today also i took a nap in it and decided to put it all back in the stuff sacks and go home so i wouldn't soak it in sweat... i couldn't believe how warm it was. nice color too. bright orange top and black insides.
thanks everybody
Interesting post ...FWIW, the original JRB Biker quilt (fore-runner of the Springer and the entire JRB Large Family quilts) was a 40* summer quilt....But I recon that piled up over one in a hammock it could be pretty warm.Originally Posted by srestrepo

I've used the biker down into the mid 20's and it was great. The guy I bought it off of a few years ago said that he had added more down.

Hey is there any way that I can add more down to it now?? like if i sent it to someone could they pull apart the seams and stuff more down in this thing??? i just like the way this quilt looks and feels, i just wish it were a bit puffier...
have you washed it? Carefully; using the recommended procedures and products as for down sleeping bags; the loft really comes back if properly treated..
[Who was it has the 15 year old sleeping bag from ebay that tripled it's loft after cleaning? (darn this random access memory chip...)]

Ive been looking at the go light ultra 20 from pro light and the JRB hudson River
I dont have either....but have read good things about both on this site....one of these two will probally the one i will be purchasing...If I could afford a JRB Old Rag Mt. I totally would but at the price I just cant afford it...but then again whats an xtra $75 to keep warm

Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.
p.s. how cold can you go in the hudson river from JRB?
