    DIY 50 Degree Top Quilt Video

    A couple months ago I posted my DIY summer quilts I made, the under quilt turned out really well but I somehow made the top quilt too short lol. It was useable but I decided to make a new one and since I had a few people ask how I made it I decided to make a video this time. The new one is very similar with a few changes like it's longer, and only used Kam Snaps for the foot box. Here's the link to the video of you're interested. Happy hanging!

    Very Cool, I am debating right now between making a down top quilt or a clima shield. Any Idea on weight of this? Also how is "packability"?

    I'll weigh it when I get home and get back to you, should have done that in the video. As far as packability, I can fit this and my under quilt in 1 large Sea to Summit compression sack and compress it all the way. It allows me to for it in my 46L backpack and still get camp stove, food and a few other in the main compartment, my hammock, bug net, tarp, straps and other small but still fit in the sleeping bag compartment at bottom.

    So, it weighs in at 18.6oz - overall dimensions opened all the way up is 81"x52" and packs down to roughly 8"x10", could compress a little more if I really tried.
