Anyone have one of these bag and are using it as Top quilt?

I recently sold mine. It was a good bag for the price, I used it as a top quilt comfortably down to about 30*. The hood kinda get in your way a bit though.

I was looking to get one when GoLite had a sale on top quilts that I took advantage of. I'm glad I don't have zippers and such to contend with. You might prefer a top quilt over a mummy. Worth thinking about.

A good TQ is roughly twice the cost and half the weight!

I have this bag and it functions just fine as a top quilt for me. I have had it down to 36* with no issues. The hood can get in the way some but that is a minor issue. It packs down well in the supplied stuff sack or you can get a compression sack and get it smaller. I just stuff it in the bottom of my BP. With all of that said I do plan to upgrade to a TQ someday.

That's it....Twice the price.....and I still have to get a backpack.....SteriPen....and some type of TQ or Mummy bag


Though it was not bad for the price....seeing that I have another 250 to spend on other stuff!

I had this bag till yesterday when I took it back to sports chalet for my money back and used it to by a marmot sawtooth that claims 15 degrees. This bag was too heavy to only take me down to 35 degrees unlike its claim temp which is based of a military standard that guarantees survival at that rating for four hours. I have a great top quilt from wilderness logics and an 800 fill zero degree from golite but sometimes when Im lounging in the morning of winter I want absolute darkness and warmth while I lay alone with no one around me.

I've got a Kelty light 20 down and I've had it down to 9* as a top quit! An extreme situation but I didn't freeze!

I wanted to cut the hood off and make booties or a diy black rock beanie (instructions somewhere in diy) , but ended up selling the bag.
