The Owyhee Top Quilt

It looks like the Owyhee 1 season fits temperature wise between the 3 season and neat sheet depending on hot/cold sleepers...

Hey, Paul,

Sorry for the slow reply BF, this weekend was my son's birthday party so I have been out of the shop until today and been playing catch up all day.

But the Final measurements on each size is:

Long is:

50" inches wide at the top
43" inches wide at the foot + the Omni Tape flaps makes it 45" when closed
86" long laid flat and 78" approximately when cinched up on the end.

The Regular is:

46" wide at the top
40" wide at the foot layed flat + the Omni Tape flaps makes it 42" when closed
78" long when laid flat and 70" when cinched up.

I have some comparison pics that I will have up in a bit.

Here is a shot of the regular versus the long.

Just got time to get the weight specs on the 3 season long, in the stuff sack it comes in under 1 pound 15 oz.

Ugh, you had to do it... Just when I was asking you when you'd have a TQ... darn you PG! (I'm saving my lunch money to afford one now!)

Question: What's the length of the footbox in the long?

Would you consider including a piece of insultex in the footbox area? say bottom 30"? (I have cold feet... literally) Once I GET cold, getting warm again is a losing proposition...

Worst case, I guess, I could make a bag of sorts to slide the bottom of the TQ into, like the old military arctic bags...

Not sure that the IX would gather well enough to be cinched and still drape well in the foot box area. A formed over bag of IX would probably do a lot better than built in.

The Omni Tape foot box on both the long and regular is formed from just about the corner edges of the end up 24 inches, so on most folks that should come up a decent amount to begin to bring the quilt around your sides. The taper of the foot box area begins 3 feet up from the end.

Good point.

24 inches is perfect. That puts the TQ with about 6" overlap to my Lost River UQ.

Thanks!
