    WTB: Warm-weather down quilt. Bonus if it's camo.

    I need a top quilt suitable for warm weather. It should be an earth tone color or, in a perfect world, camo.

    Alas, the good Mr. Stormcrow - one of the few quilt makers who offered camo as an option - no longer has a source for camo ripstop, so having a new one made doesn't seem to be an option.

    I know you say you are looking for a warm weather quilt, but I use a poncho liner (Camo) and it works great in warm weather. Good luck.

    Send him an email or give him a call. He might be willing to make you a camo quilt if you can find some material you like and send it to him. He is awesome to work with.

    That was the first thing I did.

    It's not just Adam who is out of stock; it seems ripstop nylon in weights appropriate for this application can not presently be had in camo patters. Well, that's not totally true; one can find UCP. But...well, UCP? lol Yeah.

    1.3 oz/sq yard US Temperate Woodland is in stock here. It's got a pretty nice hand to it; I'm making my first DIY hammock out of it shortly.
