Well I just received my replacement TQ from Golite. I had the Ultra 20 from them and I found that there were some chambers (about 3) that were low so I contacted them and they were very nice and instructed me where to find the return form on their site with a note stating what was wrong and what I would like to have done. Well I put in that I would very much like to have down added to the low chambers and that if they could not, or were unable to do this if they could replace it. Well after about two weeks went by I called them to find out that they just got it in the return department and I should be hearing something in a week or so (now mind you that the weather turned to s__t with all the snow) that was about 4 days ago that I emailed them, and then tonight wallah UPS showed up and handed me a big grey bag. When I opened up the package I found that they just exchanged mine for one of the new ones, they are now called Ultralite 3-Season Quilts instead of the Ultra 20 and they made some different changes to the material, the top part by your head and the foot box is the Pertex Eco Arid and is a little stiffer than the previous models material, but what I was very pleased about was when I felt the chambers this time, they all had down, and immediately it started to loft up to about 3 inches which was really nice considering that my Ultra 20 took almost an hour to loft up to 2 inches the weight without the stuff sack is 24 ounces. I took some pictures but was unable to let it sit for a while to see how lofty it would get cause my dog was being a butthead and trying to lay on it and play with me, hope to do that soon, and also as a strange note when I went to put it into the stuff sack to weight it it barely fit in and when I had the Ultra 20 that thing went in with room too spare. Well, now the only thing I am waiting on is my Crowsnest and once that arrives I am going for a hang in the snow! I know that it doesn't compare to the Burrow or Mamba, but I got it at a REAL good price when they had their big sale and since I am on a tight budget it fit the bill for now, hopefully one day I will be the proud owner of a Burrow or Mamba. So if anyone else has the new Golite TQ please share your thoughts as I would love to hear them about it!
