I recently purchased a full length (60') from Leigh. First things first, this is my first piece of gear with down. I have read about it and seen pictures but now I got my own. My original assessment of this UQ was man its so thin. Its predecessor was and original KAQ and that thing had some loft to it. I started questioning whether or not I got a summer quilt by mistake.
So I got to test it and I defiantly didn't get the summer quilt. Although it didn't get as cold as I hoped it would it did get down to 39*. I got a little CBS in he middle of the night. Got up to shake a tree and pull the suspension tighter and slept till morning. I woke early a bit chilled (need a good TQ) but my back was great.
Set up was done in almost complete darkness. It always sucks when you forget to put batteries in your headlamp and others slow your departure and you get to camp after dark.
Even with setup in the dark this quilt was easy to put on and simple to adjust. Even middle of the night half asleep it was a breeze.
You can see it hanging under my bridge hammock that morning.
