I'm considering making a new synthetic top quilt and UQ sleep system. I have found some technical data on the Climashield XP such that it weighs 5.5oz per a linear yard, It has a loft of 1.3 inches and a CLO of .82 and other info such that you roast in a quilt of two layers in the 20's wearing almost nothing. I don't know what CLO is but I'm guessing it's on a scale of .00 - 1.00 and the .82 is a really good thing but who knows I don't even know what CLO means.
While searching for making this quilt I came across a lot of MYOG quilts and bags using Primaloft, most likely because it's good stuff. So I went to there site and to my surprise they give no technical data on there product, that's just Great! So does anyone know how this stuff compares to the climashield?
If it compriable I might use it as to my surprise the company that makes it is also a U.S. company and it is only about an hour from my house in Albany, NY. But I don't want to use an inferior product as I would like to do a nice job on my quilts using the best materials available so it might last many seasons.
The other thing is that I've heard people mention using momentum 90 for there quilts is this only a necessity for the down quilts or can I use just nylon ripstop. It probably wont matter on this because I will probably use one of the camo nylon ripstop patterns I can get from walmart. Woodland or digital Woodland?
