What to do...

**bigred72** · 10-11-2010, 18:24

I have a Backside 800 down filled sleeping bag that is rated at -40 degrees. I have been thinking about making it into an underquilt, but am hesitant to do it myself. I make my own hammocks, stuff sacks etc, but am worried about taking this project on. I have made some other synthetic underquilts. Also, I think I will have a section left over that would be too small to make a top quilt, but could use for something else.I need some suggestions.

Description

800 fill down
Diamond rip stop Tactel nylon outer shell
Our bags are sewn with a two layer off set construction so that the seams don't overlap causing cold spots
Measures 94 long 35-Inch wide at shoulder 12.5 foot box weight 5lbs
It comes with YKK zippers and oversized draft tubes

Pillow?

Pillow, down filled socks, down hat, down gloves! Heck you could make down underwear, that or you could get some extra fabric and make a TQ and UQ, use the bag fabric and half down for the UQ, then use the new fabric and the other half of the down for the TQ!
