Yanno those unforecast boomers that pop up in the summer, seemingly out of nowhere? Well I came home to a dandy yesterday. Over an inch of rain, leaves shredded from trees, limbs down. Must have been the whole enchilada, with a side order of micro-burst.
I have a new hammock that I was rigging for a weekend trip that had been left out. It was soaked, and holding water. Ditto the underquilt. But here's the deal: it's a summer weight KAQ, and when I removed it from the hammock and shook the water off, it was nearly dry. Try that with down. The wet hammock presented a bigger problem than the "wet" quilt.
I love my down quilts, and have no plans to jump ship, but dang! I'm impressed.
