    Thanks for the responses. Only one negative comment so far.
    Unless something changes my mind - order for an Enigma will go in on Monday.

    You'll be happy with your purchase. EE makes high quality gear. I've had my Revelation 40 down to 32 with longjohns on (phoenix 40 UQ). I've also had my RevX 20 down to 10 with fleece sweats on. Lowest temp I took the 20 to is -13, with an extra down bag as a liner

    I just received my EE uq, but with one use, I'm very happy with it. I have my eye on a Revelation tq!

    I have a 20* Enigma and have used it on the ground and in a hammock in the teens and been comfortable in just baselayers and a hat. I have a reg/wide and find it the perfect width for sleeping on my stomach on the ground but overkill when in the hammock.

    I have a 30* and a 0* Enigma. Both Long/Wide that I use for going to the ground. I love the shiftless baffles as I don't get the cold shoulder when I sleep on my side. In the hammock I use HG TQs. I sleep on my back in the hammock and the horizontal baffles work fine. Whatever you choose will be more than adequate, but as a Minnesotan I am partial to my local company, Enlightened Equipment.

    Not only have my EE quilts been flawless in terms of build quality, but the temp ratings are accurate.

    I am what I consider a "normal" to slightly cool sleeper and my 30deg Enigma (had them put in the drawstring footbox though) took me down to 29deg in just a baselayer and hiking socks. Winds were craziest I've hung in. If my UQ would have fit properly I could have gone a bit lower with no issue.

    And Tim stands behind his products.

    Almost ordered a 10 degree - but decided on a 20 degree because I don't mind wearing base layers when it gets below 30 anyway. Makes the middle-of-the-night nature calls more comfortable.

    Now the 6-10 week wait begins...

    It is a great price. Looking back thru old posts it wasn't too many months ago that EE quilts were much more expensive. I wasn't looking then so I don't know the reasons for the price reduction. But right now they are hard to beat on price.
